Maddisons now out for a few months, Udogie and Romero out for a bit, City coming up. Ultimately I don’t think they have the squad depth to keep the charge going.

But sure they undoubtedly had a good run but I guess people were right, City are inevitable…

    The comparison to Klopp’s rebuild if insanely far off. The team he took over didn’t have a 1/4 of the talent of this spurs team.

      Hey, I’ll take your word for it – I’m not an expert on that rebuild.

      Was just talking timeframes, not asserting deep equality. I can’t imagine any two rebuilds could ever be comparable apples to apples.

      Those were the first two rebuilds that came to mind when thinking of rebuilds that I’d ultimately consider successful which were tactically driven and not bolstered by a petrodollar takeover.

      I don’t think that invalidates my point that a two-season rebuild timeframe is decently ambitious, and winning the league within the starting season isn’t a reasonable benchmark or priority for a successful rebuild.
