Just thought I'd take time to say thanks to Spurs for being a part of the occasion and generally being good losers considering how much hurt they must feel.
I took a little gander at one of their fan forums and some seem to think they will have 200m to spend this summer to rebuild ' do a Liverpool' and that all will be good.

But I'm not sure they will be able to replicate what we have done and bounce back. For starters, some of their players are on ridiculously low wages, which will soon change as their agents bang on Levy's door. So that's one thing, increase the pay of the current star players and then they have to find replacements for those that already have one foot out the door.
Totally different from Liverpool's situation. Over the last two years, FSG has carefully been renewing our best players contracts. Last season when we lost we weren't in trouble of losing any of our players (Emre aside) and we were already halfway through addressing the issue of rewarding our key players. I think now its only really VVD and Milner that need their contracts redoing. Being in that situation meant Klopp could concentrate on getting the best out of a settled squad.
Spurs job is two-fold, firstly increase wages to key players who are earning less than the market level and then bring in star players to make the team better than it is now (and do all that whilst paying off the mortgage on a 1 billion pound stadium) I think Spurs fans underestimate the value of contracts and wages, I believe Klopp recently said that we wouldn't be going crazy transfer wise because the bulk of the finances was being spent on contract renewals. I think Poch has all weighed up in is head hence the strange comments he was making before the game. Will he walk? At least if he does he won't be at the wheel at united lol
On another note people saying we have to worry about our front three being swayed away by the likes of Munich, PSG, Barca and Real, however, I think Spurs Son is going to be this year target more so than any of our players. I for one would love it if Liverpool were at the front of the queue for him, he is a massive threat of a player, Sonaldo!
