The biggest risk is losing Son and Kane without CL.

But you just said " but I can't honestly say it'll affect our transfer strategy that much." LolThe biggest risk is losing Son and Kane without CL.
Realistically there is no way the stadium payments are dependent on champions league football, Levy wouldn't do something so reckless and throughout the vast majority of planning etc we weren't a CL club. A big loss, yes, but catastrophic is way over the top. The premier league money is now a bigger pot.
Son was signed when we were in the Europa League.But you just said " but I can't honestly say it'll affect our transfer strategy that much." Lol
Of course CL defines for a club like Spurs. Because it will take us another decade to get top 4 again.CL alone doesn’t define a club.
Liverpool missed out on a few occasions recently..Didn’t do them any harm..

Don't compare us to liverpool, they have won 19 or so English titles, Top Euopean titles and including CL in 2004. We are miles behind.
Yes It will be catastrophic on all fronts. Disastrous.
The new stadium will be a ghost house.
We will need another 5-10 years to regain top 4 if ever.
We had the best chance in the last 2 seasons to capitalise on our position with manu, woolwich and chelsi weakened but didn't take advantage, thanks to the incompetent manner Levy is draining and running the club down.
We will be back to SAG days.
With C L income we struggled in the transfer market and players wages, imagine all that lost income.
What is the point of new stadium without CL.
Levy's project would have failed and JL will sack him or JL will sell the club. I hope.
All out top players will leave inc Kane and Son.
Don't you have some spreadsheets to wank over?Oooooh, the 'willfull financial ignorance' thread?
Same old names, same old melting...
Think I'll pass..... ochbye:
How can you go on to write a post that long when your very first line is a lie and a fallacy.Years of underspending, not getting needed targets, profit making, no net investment and slowly bleeding this club and exhausting it to the point of collapse has well and truly finished this club imo. I don't think we'll see CL for years after this.
Why? Because teams around us have all spent heavily. Gone are the days of expensive clubs dominating the CL spots. Everyone is getting money now. And these clubs are spending the cash. Leicester are actually a force. There are mid table club that now retain players and can make some big purchases.
Spurs need new owners, not a new manager. Levys mentality is still stuck in 2009. The games moved on. Cute cheap deals aren't enough anymore. There's money throughout the PL and these clubs are attracting names they could never have got 10 years ago.
YouI also think he's struggling to figure out who he could attract that would be willing to work under his constraints.
If Poch goes, it'll be an Eddie Howe type. Happy to take the glamour of managing Spurs but unlikely to ever come near the heights reached by Pochettino.
If Levy had backed his man when he was crying out for it last Summer, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.
Kane wants Greaves goal scoring record. And he cannot break that at any other club. He'll give us at least another year I'd wager before he starts to seriously consider moving.Yeah, this is my biggest fear because those two are our best players.
The reality is though we will probably lose Kane even if we do get in the CL because he isn't going to stick around when we aren't showing ambition to win trophies imo.
