Fairly happy about this. After watching yesterday Conte could really have us in or very near top 4 and/or challenging for the domestic cups, especially with a good January window. If we'd have remained in the conference it would have killed our season, especially with 3 league games to catch up on. The whole thing was dreadful and i may be in the minority but happy to be shot of it.

Feel like I should be posting something as this is big news according to the BBC. Reality is I honestly couldn’t care either way. This outcome is probably best for us and our season. The fact we’re in this position at all is partly on Covid, partly on the ECL, partly on Nuno… and hopefully all will be long forgotten by the end of the season.
Bad move.... They could go bust if they lose his custom.
It probably won’t be here in 5 years, to me it’a way below the league cup and barley above the Audi Cup.
I blame the players for strolling more than I do Nuno.
All of our away performances were offensively bad.
This is the best possible outcome from all of this.
If anyone on this forum, or anyone they know that is a Spurs supporter, ever orders a Domino pizza again, I will send my troops round and the only thing you'll be able to eat in future is soup!
Hopefully this is a helpful tool for Conte to use as further motivation for the players. Starting with knocking out the hamsters in their “Best Ever” season.
This is the best possible outcome from all of this.
Probably already have, if Antonio has banned him and the rest of the squad from eating pizza, their revenge.
And another thing, their adverts are in the top 3 for being annoyingly bad!
He won’t be after the next round.
The irony here is that they'll come nowhere close to winning it so would be better served focusing their energy upon finishing higher in the European slots in their respective league.......
You absolutely do. Just take a look of Liverpool lineups in early rounds of domestic cups before their wins in EPL and CL.
Sport is very much like life - there are priorities. You cannot be best husband in the world, train full time to beat world record in 100 meters race, be a coach to youngsters and start your own business on top of that. You cannot.
What would winning ECL have proven? It is 3rd level competition in UEFA system. I much rather fight on highest level and lose out, rather than put all of my efforts into winning 3rd level competition while it directly hinders chances of achieving something in the top level. Putting main or equal focus on such competition as ECL is similar like some kind of world level triathlete going to random village competition, while at the same time there is a Ironman series race somewhere. What do you prove if you beat Krasnodars, Genks, Sheriffs etc? That you are better than Russian league 3rd side. Oh wow.
I much rather lose in CL final then to win 3 consecutive ECL cups. One achievement matters and is really desirable. Other is literally 3rd tier event. Priorities.
Disappointed but not surprised at the decision. No mention of any financial penalty and so it could have been worse. I believe the lack of coefficients this season will come to haunt us in the future
The 5000 figure is this year and there are teams still in Europe that could get more points and overtake us. Not all on this decision but on the inability to take the competition seriously so we could qualify even losing this match. Danger when we qualify for future CL that we will like in the early years of qualifying end up with a very tough draw.
We will never know what sort of team we could have put out and whether they would have won.

Spurs have accepted the decision.
The banter for winning it would be worse than the banter for getting knocked out of it!
Never had one, never will now.If anyone on this forum, or anyone they know that is a Spurs supporter, ever orders a Domino pizza again, I will send my troops round and the only thing you'll be able to eat in future is soup!
