Also, we finished 5th last year which would have got us CL if the other British clubs weren't so shit in Europe. If we had CL last summer the transfer window would have been very different. Ododbert and Gray may well have been Eze and Gallagher types but because we had EL, they decided to go younger IMO.

We finished seventeenth this season and that would have got us relegated in any of the previous eleven seasons.

Someone in here tell me how this fraud is going to improve on that, plus play in the CL?

No other Cup, double or treble winning side have done that and finished seventeenth.

Is Aussie Joe sacrificing the PL next season again to concentrate on getting out of the group stages of the CL?

Tell you what, shall we just hand back the Europa League trophy (seeing as we're SO undeserving!) in exchange for what people deem an acceptable number of league points, they still probably wouldn't have got us into the Top 5...

Our aim this season was to WIN A TROPHY ✓
...and somehow qualify for the Champions League ✓✓

We did BOTH... with ONE TROPHY!!

yes, the League was piss poor as a result, but I wouldn't swap last Wednesday-Sunday for anything
... Least of all an 'acceptable' 6th place finish and NO trophy, which would be had us pretty much back to where we started in August!
Tell you what can I have my travel and admission money refunded along with the other 40k plus who were not told we'd written off the entire campaign to be ready for the might of Bodo fucking Gimp. The lowering of standards is shocking. We have to fire the coach just to remove the credulous from all conversations. It's staggering the shit he has sane people spouting.

I guess if you were a qualified football manager you could answer your own inane questions couldn't you?

17th doesn’t get you relegated in any PL season . 5th got you CL football this season.

The most likely outcome based on the 2 seasons so far if Ange stays, is that we start strong, then pick up injuries when European football starts. Those injuries mess with our form and then priorities come into play. Having won a trophy now, I’d expect Ange to prioritize the PL and we end up getting knocked out of the LC and CL early.

If somehow we strengthen the squad and bring players who enable us to not suffer from injuries so bad and also the likes of VDV and Romero start building that robustness that VVD and Salah have, then it could easily be very different
 
I thought Iraola and frank had been managing a team in Europe this whole season...I'm obviously confused....silly me....

I think the term Ange haters is just too extreme for use in a lot of cases.

I like the bloke (when he’s not surly post loss), and I get very emotional watching the Europa League win and I think it’s an unfortunate situation if he leaves after such a momentous occasion, but I’m also objective enough to realise he’s not equipped to compete at this level.

If we get a tactically astute manager in I don’t see why this winning mentality going forward should evaporate! If anything I think it could galvanise the squad once the new manager earns their respect.

That highly motivated feeling you refer to can quickly dissipate once we start turning in poor performances irrespective of who the manager is. Based on last season I think it’s worth rolling the dice on a replacement rather than sit on our hands and hope.
There were 50 matches worth of data points this season. A lot of people looked at them and didn't see a reason to believe the system would work or that the manager was very good at managing to the opponent and game situations. Against that you have people who evaluate the manager on his motivational skills, personality, and winning a trophy. When someone comes back and explains why Spurs system and manager will succeed where they have not after the first ten games of season one of the project, I'll consider that I might be wrong. For now, I've just watched too much bad football over two seasons to think Spurs are moving in the right direction.
