I think Spurs are actually in quite a good spot in that they're bringing back a team that is young, but has experience playing together. Fill in a few of the holes and they should be in a good spot to challenge again next year.

Liverpool will spend, but I doubt they'll be spending 'big.' We're just not in the same Revenue Arena as any of those clubs. We dont have a Middle Eastern Sheik or Russian Oligarch or huge lines of credit to sign the cheques.
And I'm not disputing that Spurs are in a good place going into next season, I'd just expect to see significant improvement at the top next season as well as the 'new manager bump' and its going to be a lot harder.
Spurs will also have to deal with competing in the Champion's League at the same time as the PL, its no Europa, you cant just throw out the Reserves and call it a day.
So while there will likely still be flux and Spurs and Arsenal can do some damage and make some noise, this season the title was easily there for the taking so I dont think it as too much of a stretch to call it a missed opportunity for North London.
