Regardless of anything, Tottenham Hotspur are still at their own level, they are not better and not worse even though they finished in the bottom position of the Premier League standings, but last season they were able to win the Europa League title, which was enough to make them confident again.
However, there was a big decision taken by Tottenham Hotspur management, namely firing the coach who was able to give them a trophy after years of chasing it, so Tottenham Hotspur management wants change and wants their team to perform better next season with the decisions they made, but I don't think that will be realized.
Exactly, I don't even understand why people are just bothered about Tottenham and them finishing below 15th, so long as I'm concerned Tottenham is in the category of Aston Villa, Everton, Leicester City there's nothing spectacular about them and I wonder why people are categorising them as a big team. Tottenham is an average team and they also do what average teams does. It will take them another long time before another trophy will come that's how average they are.
This is Tottenham worst season, everyone agrees. But if you look at the landscape of the last decade, I think it would be unfair to call Tottenham a mediocre team. We can see that Tottenham are one of the teams that consistently compete in the top four of the standings, they have managed to finish in the Champions League zone five times. Generally, Premier League observers put Tottenham in the big six, so it makes sense why many people are impressed to talk about their current decline.
