I would say five, as Leicester are up there. Spurs have the potential to go into freefall if Kane and Son leave. Plus if Nuno plays negative football, that won't go down too well.

Leicester are very good. Well run, well coached, good balanced squad.
Sorry to hear we're in agreement, Greppers! There's probably a support group.

It's okay. I agreed with Dio once but seem to have made a full recovery

5th twice. I hope we're able to break into that top 4 next year but the 4 above us have bigger financial resources so.........5000 to 1 shot?

Leicester are a well run club and seem to be inching above Spurs based on the Mourinho years but surely that'll be short lived once stadiums are allowed to reopen. Spurs' new stadium should generate enough Finances to ensure they're firmly in the top 4/5/6 talk.
Neglecting the squad when the stadium was being built was bad enough, but sacking the manager who kept delivering top 4 in that time was inexcusable.
Lots of money at Chelsea, the Manchester clubs and Liverpool though and that'll be tough to breach.

Bums on seats isn't what generates money.
It's TV revenues and cash from overseas investors.
How many shirts can you sell in foreign countries, and Leicester have cleaned up in the lucrative Thai market

It helps that the owners are duty free billionaires. I’m told there’s a Leicester club shop at almost every airport in the Far East.

Pre-pandemic, about 10% (just under £15m) of Leicester's revenue was from gate receipts, and 60% from tv rights (£107m).
To put that in context though, Man Utd's ticket revenue was over £100m. Spurs likely over the £100m mark from tickets too once things re-open.

I think you might be slightly underestimating Spurs' stadium improvements trumpton, it's not gate receipts that will (could) make them more competitive.
There's the 25k extra (London tourist) seats, along with the associated merch sales.
Concert venue
Boxing
NFL sales
All the property bought for development in the surrounding area.
Whether or not ENIC invest enough of this into the team remains to be seen. I expect top 4 will be the target as that brings the CL revenue, maybe just maybe trophies may follow?
I see the Nuno appointmemt as a bit of a reset post Mourinho until all the Covid nonsense passes.
