Well one big reason for 5th being a failure is because we miss out on Champions League qualification. And why shouldn't we get top 4 with this squad? We got top 4 last season, we've just changed a few personnel around. I wouldn't say it's any weaker. Obviously where we are is proving that. Though given the striker situation we probably are now.
No top 4 is a failure.
"No top 4 is a failure."
No CL slot = problems.
As of today, CL slot = 3rd place minimum.
We will finish 4th, we have been in 4th pretty much all season with these players, they are not going to be different now that Jan has passed, have some faith people.
As of today, CL slot = 3rd place minimum.

I really doubt we'll get 3rd so we just have to hope Arsenal don't win the Champions League as able as that is.
Not that LAAble when you consider they got to the final the year of Lasagna-gate.

Don`s bus will have people sitting on the roof if that happens
I think a loan should have been sorted out.
We are desperately exposed if any of Lennon, Bale, Dembele, Defoe get injured.
Especially as Townsend is now on loan too.
Sure, lets not waste money but we are vulnerable and we don;t have the 10 point cushion we had last season.
Genius.. cant believ as fans you think we havebeen spoilt
Same prices as Arsenal and Chelsea for yrs and 1 trophy to show for it .. not what i call spoilt
Weare
You can never rule these things out with Spurs. Arsenal, Chelsea, anyone else yes, but Spurs you can't.
If it hapens i wont be long for this world ,
I'm on the beer with a Villa fan tonight. He hasn't been out much lately because their results are making him very poor company (his words not mine). I seem to remember a couple of seasons ago their wage bill was greater than ours and there was very little to choose between the teams. What Levy has and keeps achieving with a 36k capacity and a wage bill thats considerably less than the other top 4 contenders (Everton aside) should be applauded. Levy dissenters should be careful what you wish for!!
The AVB appointment was very much looking ahead to the future. Someone to embrace the New training ground and hopefully, stadium. Therefore I would see it as silly to brand him a failure in his first season if we get 5th. We've made a profit with him in charge I think, didn't get any of his top targets etc. And if anyone says "Oh well if Harry got had fourth then you'd call it a failure" Yes I probably would. Because that would be what, his 5th year at Spurs, and 3rd time in a row we'd fecked it up.

Weare.....................................We have been spoilt in effect by actually punching above our weight over the past 3 years. We know we cannot compete financially & to achieve 5th, 4th & 4th for the last 3 years is some going.
I would love us to get 4th or better again this year, however I will not think it will be failure to finish 5th. Considering we lost Modric, VDV & King for this season, and in some respects not really replaced them yet.

Who said about branding AVB a failure? The season would be a failure not AVB. At least not if AVB goes on to improve in his following seasons, and improve on Harry. That would more than make up for this season being a failure. I'd be more willing to blame Levy should we not make top 4 this season than AVB, but it'll certainly be a set back if we didn't get it, in terms of players we can bring in and stability i.e. players like Bale not wanting to leave.
I think it's silly to say the season wouldn't be a failure with no top 4. Do you think Arsenal fans would see it that way? Why should we be different if we are meant to be competing with them? It comes across as a small club mentality and we shouldn't be emitting that.
Sorry Spurtle it just looked like that was being implied
Not by myself no.
You can't properly judge the man until after about a season, though I'll be having my doubts if we finished like 7th or 8th.

==================
Why after a season? We're 25 games in, we're 1 point off 3rd, 3 away from the team below in 5th, so of course it would now be a failure to finish below the standard 4th spot target from here.
KentSpurt,
I dont think AVB was brought in because of the new training ground, or any other reason than to manage the squad to a 4th placed finish.
We cant write off this season on the basis that he "might" do better next season or the season after - we have to judge on the here & now.
It was a good result yesterday, albeit against a team very much off-form and down to 10 men, especially after Defoe went off (i couldnt see that injury coming, could you? ).
Anyway, onwards & upwards eh?
