Competition Winning a trophy - is it important?

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

As long as the leagues still exist, it’s always temporary. There’s always another season to get promoted.

A trophy is fixed in history forever.
There's always another season to try and get promoted. I just think that it would wreck us financially and we've seen big clubs go down and take a very long time to recover.

In the dreamland scanario we're in the Champions League and the Championship so in year one the effect is mitigated. Any more than one year down there we're still repaying the stadium debt with much reduced income. That is no bueno.
 
But yet people didn’t want to even enter the ECL.
As it was “below us”.

What the fucks going on in this fanbase?

Should we go down having won sweet FA I wonder what the poll results to “should we have fucked off the cups a lot sooner to concentrate on the league” will be.

Still it’s 28/01/25. The trebles still on people.
Let’s all dream with Big Ange!! It could be us!!

Winning a trophy is important but not as good as remaining in the Premier League imo.
Ah, remember how we were belittled for prioritising the 'Top 4 Trophy's??

Nothing is a trophy EXCEPT a trophy!

...and yet we sacked off countless so-called 'lesser trophies' in order to focus on getting Top 4... Also, not a trophy!

At this rate, the only trophy we'll be in contention for is the 2025/26 EFL Championship!! ...and that's a tall ask!
 
No way on earth are we getting out of anfield or villa park in the cups with a result.
Even with a fit first 11.
That leaves Europa. If we sack him now we might have a chance.
I honestly can’t see where the next win comes from.
 
Winning a trophy is important. But we've still got a problem with the manager even if we were to win one or more. The team is disorganized, unprepared, and the manager doesn't adapt to game conditions or opponent. That can't happen in the Premier League. But, if Postecoglou wins one or more trophies the team will stay with him we'll be having these same discussions next season when his approach is still failing in the Premier League.
 
No trophies are clearly not important for a football team, this is very obvious.

What is important for the football team is the GoKart tracks, Hotels, a really nice skywalk, a big open space to sell beer. It saddens me we never completed the fabled Cheese Room. Real Madrid might have 15 CL’s but do they have a Cheese Room, our chance for glory not taken.

I do hope we continue to build our property portfolio in the Championship. It would be terrible should relegation threaten the building of our hotel.
 
It is only a choice of relegation or trophies in La La land. It is more a choice of Trophies or a higher league position and I would take trophies & 15th rather than what we did last season 5th and early exits in cups. Glory over mundane.

Awful thought...!
