since Ramos took over, Spurs are averaging 1.47 points per game in EPL play, over 23 games.
under Jol for the last 2 seasons, and first 11 games this season, Spurs averaged 1.54 points per game, over 87 games.
So Ramos or Jol in charge, thats pretty consistent play over the last 3 seasons, and good for about 55-60 points each campaign, depending on the how the breaks go.
After watching the team recently, and in light of these numbers, I have to wonder what reason there is to believe that this team can ring up 70+ points next year and challenge for the top 4. I add to this the assumptions that Berbatov is gone and King is finished as a regular contributor. Keep in mind that even if these two assumptions are wrong, even with a healthy Berbs and King half the time we've never been a Champions League club.
