Tottenham director Sir Keith Mills believes their stability can help them in the title race this season.
Mills believes, with Andres Villas-Boas taking charge of his second season, it will give them an edge over the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea, who are all bringing in new managers.
He said: "It will take the three new managers - Jose Mourinho's gone back, so he counts as new - a bit of time to settle down.
"They've mostly inherited their squads, the previous managers did things slightly differently and that may just be unsettling enough. We all know that in sport things unwind pretty quickly.
"Tottenham are in a very good place. We're optimistic this is going to be a good season and I fancy our chances to get one of the four Champions League slots."
