The thing is, Spurs are not a big club. We are trying to get into the big boy club, without spending vast amounts of money.
We over achieved during the Poch years; which was largely due to United, City, Liverpool, Woolwich all going through major squad and coach overhauls. This has set an unrealistic expectation that we are 'entitled' to be top 4 and title contenders.
Levy is very well respected and has influence with FIFA. Spurs best hope is that he can use this to push through changes to financial rules to prevent over clubs spending their way to success.
If we want to continue to be frugal with transfers, I would seek to recruit elite coaching staff for the youth and development squads; so we can develop top players rather than buy them. Imagine the good that Bielsa could do with our academy.
