As has been mentioned you lot celebrate finishing second. That speaks volumes in itself. Wenger qualified for the CL x many years in a row and yet the fans aren't happy. Spurs finished 2nd two years in a row, embarrassed themselves in Europe and Poch is the great saviour?
It's a legitimate observation to note that they have a distinct lack of ambition.
You lot are just salty that one of your players has said pretty much the same thing that we have been. Basically, if he wants to win he needs to look elsewhere. They are/were at a unique position in being a few players away from the title and Levy did nothing.
Rose isn't saying anything new. He simply wants to win. You're deluded if you think he's alone in Spurs lack of ambition. From the end of last season.

Arsenal have a net spend of over £200M over the last five years compared to Spurs' £1M. I would also imagine their revenues were much higher prior to the new TV deal, so what point are you trying to make exactly? Spurs do not have the resources to compete with the big-spending clubs, so how on Earth is it reasonable to expect them to have similar results to those clubs? The fact of the matter is that they're punching well above their weight.
I don't blame Rose for wanting to move to a club that has those resources, but to say it's a lack of ambition on the part of Spurs is silly.
