The table ultimately doesn't lie and a poor string of results against teams battling relegation has ultimately cost us. I blame Levy for not investing in our squad in the summer, especially in regards to signing a striker. he was always happy to spend before we got into the champions league but as soon as we got in it, he only spent 7 million in strengthening our first team. I don't know how you will fare in europe, but with your resources you will undoubtedly be able to sustain your league position. If you asked most neutrals they would say spurs are a much better team to watch, playing 3 defensive mids is one of the reasons why, but results matter.
Levy not investing?

Yeah Levy and Spurs have spent *uck all?
If anything it looks like you've spent what you don't have, hence the desperate need to move to the olympic stadium and sell whl. This would be great for spurs, but it isn't going to happen, so Modric, Bale and Dawson will all be sold this summer if, as likely, ucl football isn't secured, 5th, or 6th isn't really an issue as the euopa league is a major distraction rather than a worthwhile trophy.
