The general consensus is that Spurs are currently in the mire, 7th in the league, having to settle for a 3rd rate European competition, and struggling to appoint a manager has sent some over the edge!
However , only 2 teams scored more than us last season and only 5 teams conceded less, we dropped a ridiculous amount of points from winning positions, but by the same token we also got into those winning positions.
But for a bit more rub of the green, top 4 and a trophy was well within our grasp this season.
I believe with a shake up of the squad in the summer,
Outs(Aurier, Doherty, Dier, Winks, Sissoko, Lamela, Lucas, Davies)
Ins (from loan; Skipp, Sessegnon, Aarons/Lamptey Top CB, Ings/Dybala, Olise, Sabitzer and resigning Bale on loan)
Introduce the likes of Parrott, Scarlett and Devine in the Conference League, we could be looking at a profitable window with a younger and hungrier squad.
I would go with a smaller squad with more youngsters on the bench this campaign and play a consistent 14/15 players in the league (giving more vital minutes to Tanganga, Rodon, Sessegnon, Skipp etc) and blood the academy players in the cups , and hopefully we can finish top 4 again or close to.
This will put us in a great position over the next couple of years for the squad to blossom, similar to early Poch reign where he played Bentaleb/Mason/Eriksen/Kane/ Townsend/Walker/Rose/Dier all who were fairly young.
I hope we get Poch back this season but if it isn't possible right now we should go for someone like Parker/Potter/Ten Hag knowing that if it doesn't quite go to plan we can try again for Poch in the next season or two when his contract is close to expiring/expired.
Of course i want to win something, we have gotten close so often , we aren't miles off anyway and i think having fearless youngsters that haven't tasted constant failure over the last 5 or 6 years in finals/ semi finals is the way to go plus I've always resonated more with this club when we have signed young stars, the likes of Lennon, Rose, Dawson, Huddlestone, Walker, Alli, Naughton, rather than making the big name £40m-£50m signings, so im hopeful that we can go back to that route and I can fall in love with my club again.
Anyway, is it possible we could be back in the mix next season with a good summer of recruitment or do you think it will get worse and we are as bad as we think we are?
