Spurs in the Champions League!

Well, as you all know, Wednesday's fixture at the Eastlands was the play-in game for the Champions League. I couldn't see losses to West Ham or Burnley happening for either of these sides and neither could a true Premier League fan. It was to be the play-in game. 

However, that match is over and due to the result, Spurs will host 2010 Champions League football, no matter what the result at Turf Moor. If Fulham were to field even one member of the side that will travel to Hamburg, they would stand a chance at the Emirates and Spurs could pass their North London rivals. However, that won't happen and Spurs are destined for fourth. An exciting Premier League season is over; in all three races.

Now the question is: What does the future hold for Tottenham?

It is a question without a definite answer, we will know come this time next year but for now, we can predict. Were Harry Redknapp to go pick up Fernando Torres, Xabi Alonso, and Steven Gerrard, Spurs could go to, let's say, the quarterfinals in Europe. They would qualify for Europe again and soon be buying the best in the world and challenging for the BPL crown. However, both you and I know Harry Redknapp. He may buy the likes of Scott Parker and John Carew but this will not make Tottenham a Europe-worthy squad. Knowing their beautiful style and Harry Redknapp's buying abilities, Spurs will reach the group stage and possibly reach the round of 16, but no further. As for the Premier League, 4th spot will stay open for years and Villa, Spurs, City, and Everton will all challenge. Tottenham will occasionally challenge for Europe but they will not be, at least in my opinion, be the side Harry wants them to be.

Now, you tell me, what is your opinion on the question; What does the future hold for Tottenham?
