Spurs home build up (inc Spurs Utd)

[Fernandinho]

Poch is a good manager so I really hope he ****s off. With their wage structure, and the best manager they could possibly get ****ing off, you'd have to think they'd nosedive. Maybe a player exodus too, with the likes of Alderweireld, maybe Alli and others (on very low wages for their level) all possible departures.

Despite our recent issues we're clearly on an upward curve imo. Getting rid of Spurs and Arsenal would be very welcome.

It would be mint to see Poch leave for Madrid, that could be the beginning of the end of their upward trajectory and Arsenal holding onto Wenger has set them back 4 years like we did post Rafa.

If Kane get's a yellow tonight he is out banned against us, so there's hoping that!

[Kenneth]

I'm sure he'd find that quite upsetting.

Threshold changed to 10 a few weeks ago.

It did? TIL!

Spurs rarely show up against United and I'm not expecting them to tomorrow night.

Yup, they're utter ****bags when playing United.

While sealing top 4 is the most important, and 2nd / 3rd / 4th is a much of a muchness, I still want us to finish 2nd and above those Manc *******s. Determined to keep looking upwards and not over our shoulders. I think we're the 2nd best side in the league, clearly, so let's ****ing underline it.

4th still means a playoff in mid August for CL qualification though doesn't?
I hate getting the niggling feeling that transfer plans could be affected by waiting all window to guarantee being in CL. Not too bothered about 2nd/3rd but 4th would feel a little bit of let down in comparison.

[Shaggy]

I thought 4th was now a guaranteed qualification for CL proper?

It does this year.

Ah good, didn't know that. Anyway hopefully still on improve on last years place.

[Fosterbloke]

Also, I don't think 2nd, 3rd or 4th mean much because they all automatically qualify for the CL

Yup all qualify this year!

So unless we really need a couple of million quid extra, I don't see any difference between 2nd, 3rd or 4th.

League places impact CL revenue 40/30/20/10 split. Think the pot is around 175 million for English clubs. So finishing second instead of fourth we could another Salah or make all homes ten quid in with the difference.

That's interesting! Fair enough, let's get 2nd (after Man Utd tonk Spurs!)

[Angryred]

A draw in Spurs/ManU match for me & it sets up nicely if we beat Spurs on Sunday to at least consolidate that 4th CL Spot but the hell with that!, let's go for 2nd & automatically qualify as I would regard that as more progress for us under Klopp!

This is how money has been broken down in the past: https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsle...2398575.html#/

The EPL prize money is negligible between second and fourth.
