We asked for your thoughts and feelings as Tottenham avoided relegation to the Championship on the final day of the season.
Here are some of your comments:
Ricky: There’s a time for post-mortems, analysis and frustration with the board, but it’s not today. The boys did us proud. COYS!
Robert: A mixture of exhilaration and relief. We were by far the better team in the first half, and fully deserved the one-goal lead. Second half, we got deeper and deeper and the nerves were plain for all to see. But we got over the line, and that’s all that matters. Now, the real work starts to make sure this situation never happens again.
Jeff: A diabolical season. Being 17th for the second year running is just unacceptable and speaks to years of utter incompetence in leadership, ownership, management and recruitment. To borrow a phrase, it’s time to “drain the swamp”. There needs to be a cull of senior management and we need to get rid of all the dross and malcontents in the playing squad. Simple as that.
Michele: They truly do not deserve to have been saved. Lifelong Spurs fan, but this season has pushed me to the edge. An embarrassment and can now only hope someone somewhere has learned a massive lesson. Have a clearout. Do what is necessary and spend, spend, spend or we will surely be in the same position next year.
Chris: Now is the time to look at the coaching and medical staff. The injuries the team has suffered both this season and last can’t be all down to bad luck. Something is seriously wrong on the fitness side of the team.
Brian: Relief that we will have a chance to reset and we already have a top coach in place to oversee it. A pair of outsiders deserve maximum credit for our survival. Joao Palhinha scored the two most important goals of the season. Antonin Kinsky’s rebirth continued with another fine save. Some changes needed, but who cares right now?
Carol: Absolutely delighted that we escaped relegation, but this must not happen again. We now have a manager who we can all get behind and he must be given the means to bring new players in and get rid of dead wood or whoever doesn’t want to be here. A lucky escape indeed.
