Martin Jol admits winning
a trophy is the only way to satisfy the demands of Tottenham
Hotspur.
Though Spurs have been unable to challenge for UEFA Champions
League qualification like last season, the club have enjoyed
lengthy runs in the cup competitions this term.
Spurs reached the semi-finals of the Carling Cup, and also advanced
to the quarter-finals of the Uefa Cup and FA Cup.
But Jol accepts that, while some clubs would consider those
achievements to amount to a successful season, it is not the case
at White Hart Lane.
"First we wanted to compete, to be in Europe and now we want to
have the structure for Europe, and that is something hopefully for
this year or the year after," said Jol.
"At any other club, if you play two quarter-finals and a semi-final
in a season they would be satisfied.
"Here they want to win something. I know that and can live with
that.
"The whole fanbase and the board. They can tell me whatever they
like and say we did well, but you can see it in their eyes that
there is one big thing - we want to win something."
