No need for a politician's answer.
5th is complete failure unless he wins the Europa.
Imagine no Kane, Son, Ndombele, Hojbjerg etc in the champions league. Would be unacceptable.

Spurs are the 6th richest club in the PL. Finishing 5th is technically overachieving.
Luckily, we have a chairmen in Daniel Levy that matches our vocal fanbase's commitment to excellence and high expectations.
I can definitely imagine no Højbjerg in the CL. That's not difficult at all.
You're right, Spurs are the 6th richest team.
But Poch was sacked for 4th and a CL final on a shoe string budget after title challenges and numerous top 4 finishes.
Same standards must be applied to serial short term manager Jose who took/blagged this high paying job after going on about his revolutionary new tactics and love for this squad.
Mourinho didn’t need to “blag” shit to get this job. All he needed to do was to unzip his CV.
He’s the 2nd/3rd highest paid manager in the league and he’s being paid that much to overachieve. If he fails, Levy will certainly sack him.
Quite a few reputable sources say Jose convinced Levy in their talks by going on about his new tactical developments.
This implied he could also overachieve like Poch but go even further. BLAGGED.
I think that answer shows about all we need to know about how weak your argument is.
Whatever that means.
Lol. Yeah, Jose just edged out Big Sam by spinning a few Zlatan anecdotes.
No he most likely told Levy that this squad was operating well below it's potential and that he could get much more out of it especially with his new system he developed in the mountains on his hiatus.
So he told Levy he can do the job but needs mad cash to spend? As if.
Or that this squad needs minor touching up which he can do within a budget? BLAGGED.
I love that you have a version of Jose's job interview in your mind's eye and it's so real to you.
Okay pal it's clear you're stuck, we're done.
Been a few days now and I am really here to say this match shows the real Spurs team and to show their mentality that they cannot defend over a 90 minutes match. It should have been back three of Rodon and Dier flanking experience Alderw. Also, Mourinho should make Holj the captain immediately as I do not see any value in Loris holding onto it. Loris pushed out was so stupid for their second goal. Even a novice goalkeeper know that those sort of shots you should have pushed it to the byline for the corner instead of pushing it out for the other team to score while you're on the floor.
When people don't agree with you it doesn't always necessarily mean they are 'stuck', sometimes it just means that the two of you have different (often equally plausible / valid) opinions.
"We're stuck" (in the debate) might be more appropriate.
Care to explain why Levy hired Jose and why there were reputable papers saying Jose's explanation of his new system convinced or played a part in Levy hiring him?
Or was that all made up and Levy offered Jose the job based on *checks notes* ... his history with clubs who spend obscene amounts.
Or is it gona be more of the "Can you prove we're not living in the matrix? What is life? Neither of us can be ever be proven right so who knows?" bollocks?
He was absolutely fucking woeful in that first half. Passes inside gifting the opposition possession while were not in shape. Out of position didn't beat a single player. There was nothing adequate about his performance for the whole game imo.
And re: the part you deleted now
I'm so narrow-minded for using logic and reasoning to discard nonsense as opposed to giving all the possibilities in the universe the same weight. Such a stubborn chap I am. Everyone is right, nobody is wrong.
