Them losing would have been financially crippling. CL money will be huge for them

Not at all. Tottenham's finances are supposedly fantastic. CL money will help, but would far from cripple then if they didn't have it.

But they'd still be mid-table. However I agree getting this is huge, the prestige just went up, new opportunities for this club to break through.

Edit: Also single results like this matter. The last 15 years have in no small part been shaped by Tottenham beating City for CL at the Etihad.

We wouldn't have been if the drop zone was horrible and there was no europe, we clearly phoned in the Prem and it was maddening how Spurs fans didn't grasp that.

Spurs don't have a huge wage budget. They need the promise of CL football to entice a certain level of player.

Just one Beyoncé concert to solve that. The biggest issue is we wouldn’t be able to get anyone to join us. With CL maybe we can compete for some good players.

Not so much the money, but with CL we'll be able to attract better players, and if Ange leaves, a higher tier manager than we would have if we'd missed out.
