As a Spurs fan, I hate to be pessimistic but this is it for us. Shame because we truly were stopped in our tracks of reaching some future success.
Bale has already hinted at leaving. In other words, he was being professional in saying "If we don't make CL, I'm out of here." Modric will go, maybe to Real Madrid or Chelsea. Although he will be greatly missed, I won't be too fussed after his issues last Summer and Chelsea. VDV will probably go to someone bigger, as with Adebayor. Ekotto will also want to leave. This unfortunately is the harsh reality of the situation. Its really sad because we truly deserved to be in the CL. Yeah we flopped, but we played the most exciting football of the season. I also think it is unjust considering Chelsea are such a scumbag team. Part of me has already re-adapted to mid table finishes months before the new season has started. At least the last 3 years were pretty fun.
I think we should just focus on building a new stadium to attract big buyers and players, and try to stay consistent in perhaps the top 10 of the table until we have ground again. This has held us back years I believe. I think it may take 10 years + to attempt to win anything/top 4. I do think there should be changes to the UEFA ruling though, this is completely unjust and unfair.
