The way things are going we might need all the time we can get with no distractions. Adding 18 games in the Conference might really fuck us up.At least the new guy won't have to worry about thursday night games. Will have a fresh squad every week

Doesn’t really work like that. West Ham came 7th last season and ended up in a part relegation battle with Conference League football this season.
European football takes its toll on the squad and affects our performance in the league. There are 2 cups we get a chance to win each season called the league cup and FA cup and unlike the conference league they are not Mickey Mouse competitions but proper cups.
The club needs a proper reset like it has never had before. The Conference League would make that much harder. The goal next season should be to implement a modern progressive football style built top to bottom from CFO down to scouts, getting rid of deadwood players and brining in new players.
Chelsea beat us to the title when they had no European football and just one game a week. Leicester also had that advantage during their title win. Having no European football can give space to a team if it is properly
I know what cups there are - Conference League is mickey mouse but League cup isn’t by your reckoning ? Repeat - we should be able to field a team Thursday and Sunday.Doesn’t really work like that.

Not making it into the conference league has to be considered a failure. Because Spurs should always have it as a baseline requirement to play in Europe. Doesn't matter the competition.
Failing to qualify is not a Pyrrhic victory.
Spurs should play with the confidence of being able to balance a solid league run with a European run. We should not take the cowards approach to sack one for the other.No but there are bigger workings at play. If we lose Kane and do the recruitment badly the Conference League qualification is the difference between mid table and a relegation battle.
Or it could be extra games to give game time to players who arent in the first 11 who could then step up and replace the underperforming first 11 players.No but there are bigger workings at play.

As this wont be a top priority competition , I doubt we'd go strongest squad until the very very late stages. Depends on the manager.We never do that though it always ends up losing to some shit team then throwing Kane and the rest on.
