I know that Spurs' second-string players aren't good enough but they can get at least 6 games of match practice in Europe (before being knocked out). while Spurs also get some income.
And what is that "something" if you don't mind ...?
8th place?
A fucking good hiding
Perhaps he meant a meaningless, late consolation goal.
No, it will all end in embarrassment again, the players need a rest after a hard summer watching

I actually fully agree! However, my attitude as a supporter doesn’t influence what happens on the field. The attitude of club and players do. So ideally yeah we’d be in as many comps as possible and believe we can win all of them. It’s just simply not how the club have acted recently. I hope they change too.
I'd argue that fan attitude can influence the players.
If our fans go into games giving a damn and sending those signals from the stands, that is going to directly feed into the players. But if we don't care then that is also going to feed into the players. We are seeing it already since our fans don't give much of a damn about the smaller European trophies and the domestic cups. It feeds into Levy's CL or nothing mantra that the players get spoonfed as the goal for the season.
awful competition, it truly is.
But i think Spurs the size of the club it is now need to be in a Europian competition of some kind, and it's another trophy to compete for albeit total mickey mouse and not much more respectable thant the Audi Cup.
And it could be used to blood just one or two youngers with senior players which could be benficial.
clicked no by accident. Maybe my subconcious

How so?
I was 100% against being in the conference league next season.......but then I remembered that from next year fifth place can potentially get a Champions League spot.
In order to do that it goes to the team with the best coefficient in the league outside the top four. Therefore we have to keep that coefficient up, which means being in the Conference League is better than not.
edit: sorry, that's wrong. Coefficient for fifth was changed.
The European governing body said a fourth place would go to one country's domestic champions by increasing from four to five the number of teams who qualify via the 'Champions Path'. That is Uefa's name for the qualification process for domestic champions who do not automatically go into the group stage.
Uefa, though, rejected a proposal to allow clubs into the competition solely on the basis of past performance - something critics argued would have favoured 'bigger' names and provided them with a safety net if they performed poorly in a season.

Regardless, we should always maintain our coefficient to get easier games and progress further. Therefore I'm in.

Mr Levy how about getting some new players?
Levy
Well the team failed to get into Europe and with the numbers in the squad you will have problems keeping the whole squad happy just playing once a week. Just look at Chelsea and they had Europe. no we must sell first.
New Manager
But without new players we will struggle like last season and there are midweek fixtures in the domestic cups and occasional PL matches. You will not get rid of some of the fringe players until the end of the window leaving no time to get better players in.
Levy
Well if only they are qualified for Europe I would have bought first like last summer but the only way of convincing Sanchez to leave is the likelihood of no matches at all.
No we need to be in Europe. We won the UEFA cup when it was considered a third rate cup after European Cup & Cup winners Cup. Just make sure we take it seriously.
Who has had the better season this year?
The team that finishes 8th or the Team that say finishes 15th and wins the Conference. Just think all those Spammers that can taunt us that they have won a trophy more recently than us. Hopefully they will not win it.
