Priorities

[sammyspurs]

And that is what I find bizarre because it's the easiest to win (and I'm sure he knows that as well) so this nothing but massaged PR for the fans, etc.

"The pressure is to win the Premier League or Champions League. They are the two big trophies.

"I'd love to win a cup for our fans but Tottenham must build a project for the Premier League and Champions League.

"If we forget those two, it's a big mistake. For a big team to win trophies, it means the Premier League or Champions League.


"Wigan won the FA Cup. Where is Wigan now? League One. That is the most important example."


Dont you think hes going in a bit too hard for someone who is secretly plotting an FA Cup win as our priority but only saying otherwise to massage my ego

That's an embarrassing attitude, with all due respect and one I fundamentally disagree with. Not sure what else we can add to this debate. If you think we have a higher chance to win the league or CL than the FA Cup - that's cool with me.

Only no one has said that

The Premier League is priority number one. Every season.

For a manager who's won fuck all to date the cup comments are embarrassing. If you think otherwise - hey ho

You just admitted you're glad he thinks the cups are secondary

 

[ArcspacE]

Righto...just for a final bit of clarification our priorities for the season should be as follows:

Carabao Cup
F.A. Cup
Champions League
Premier League

Just get to the magic 40 points lads, then we can focus on the real glory.

Mental.

You may find it embarrassing, but that doesnt change the fact that the PL and CL is our priority, which is all Ive said

I asked...

''You believe that prioritisation should be determined by the ease of which a trophy can be won?''

...you answered...

''yes absolutely''

Therefore one can assume the below is your priority...

Carabao Cup
F.A. Cup
Champions League
Premier League

Yet, you say Poch is the embarrassing one. Mental.

I am glad, but I have said the PL or CL is easier to win than the FA Cup, and neither has anyone else.

We´ve set our priorities higher. It has nothing to do with ease.

And I find that strange considering the difficulty factor and general trophy drought

Must be international break.

CUNT OFF!!!!!!

 

[ArcspacE]

Carabao Cup
F.A. Cup
Champions League
Premier League

Realistically that is the order although we are clearly not fussed about the Carabou so you can take that out and have the other 3 - if you think otherwise, good for you

Thats a whole other argument.

Many people feel that the game has changed. I dont think we can keep this squad together with FA Cup wins....we have some of the best players in the world, and right now the best manager.

Why shouldnt we win the top trophies? Why would they stay here if we are being small time?
And yes, prioritising the FA Cup is small time for us.....our rivals are challenging for the CL and PL, hpw can we call them rivals if our biggest aim is the FA Cup and Carabou?

Are you staying statistically it would be easier to win the PL or CL than the FA Cup?

That is my whole argument to be fair.

We cannot compete with our rivals who pay triple our salaries - furthermore not even Chelsea and Man Utd can keep their stars these days. So unless we can challenge for 3-4 trophies like Barca and Real every single season - there will always be the danger of losing our best.

No. No one has suggested that.

I think the manager's approach may have something to do with this:

'.....we of Spurs have set our sights very high, so high in fact that even failure will have in it an echo of glory'.

Consistently challenging for the league title will bring more to the club than collecting one or two cups. It may be nice to win a competition, but in the long term the Wigan example whilst extreme (as in I doubt it happens to us) is relevant. I don't think the F.A. Cup keeps the core of our side together.

Spurs are on the verge of something special, and we need to win the league to continue on that trajectory. IMO our manager has more than proved he knows what is best for the club.
