Given that they have a grand total of 2 league titles (the last 60 years ago), I can see the reasoning behind this. History is often a stick used to beat us, often it really means historical trophies won. In which case the likes of Everton, Villa, Wolves may be miffed to be left out of the party.

Huddersfield Town have more top-flight titles than Tottenham Hotspur, so maybe they have a claim too.

I can't disagree that Spurs have no right to a place in a closed shop super league.

But the truth is that......

......neither do the other 11 clubs.

It's bullshit.

I wonder if there is a clause in his contract regarding winning trophies and if he wins the LC it could cost Spuds more to get rid.

Haha. Said the same to the Mrs when we heard the news.

He was never the right fit for Spurs. Poor choice by Levy.

Forest would have a decent claim too -

Funniest I heard was Spurs joining the ESL is like Bananaman wanting to become an Avenger.

Bodger's wants the job.

Fits Levy business plan. Sell Kane, buy nacho...

They sacked mourinho to keep Kane at the club but now they might have to sell Kane to pay for them sacking mourinho. Marvellous!

He'd be an idiot. Spuds are a poisoned chalice. Where he is there is no pressure, nobody expects Leicester to be where they currently are (forgetting the totally one-off title win a few years back). Top four is a bonus for the club, whereas Levy would see it as the minimum required.

If Bodgers stays put he'll always be the darling of the Leicester fans: if he goes to Spurs he'll feel the pressure after a couple of defeats immeasurable.
