SpuROFLs

[Winston Biscuit]

Currently on track to match their worst league finish in 31 years.

I presume Postecoglu will be gone in the summer.

Daniel Levy steps down as Chairman

[Brogue]

Huge.

He’s taken them to the 8th most valuable club in the world according to the Forbes list in 2024.

Whether spurs fans Love him or hate him. He’s has turned them into a an economic powerhouse

[genome]

Sounds like he was pushed out according to the Beeb, by Joe Lewis's children who will be more active in the running of the club. Vivenne Lewis the key figure. Says sporting success hasn't been good enough, which to be fair, is not wrong

For all of the good Levy has done for the infrastructure and increase in stature since 2001, sporting success hasn't been one of them lol

[Double C]

This is definitely an anti semitic act

Whilst true, seems a bit harsh just months after they won a major European trophy, he's appointed a very highly rated manager and seems to have invested well, but am sure he'll be paid off handsomely and find a new highly paid position elsewhere, so all good.

More or less harsh than him sacking the manager who won the trophy?

You’re right though, for all the Spurs fans complaining about him, he’s left a great platform for his successor(s). No excuses for those that take over now.

Enic reject 2 'preliminary expressions of interest' from groups looking to buy Spurs

one was a Chinese consortium and the other was a consortium headed up by Amanda Staveley

To be fair, I don't blame them. We all know about a Chinese owners but Staveley is heavily involved with Saudi Arabia and I don't think Saudi ownership has been the golden ticket Newcastle fans were expecting either.

To be fair to Enic, I think it's a wise decision to say bugger off to both.

One point above the relegation zone now...

[Stranded]

One point above the relegation zone now...

As amusing as it would be, they will stay up. Forest will drop with Burnley and Wolves.

[Winston Biscuit]

crikey

Tonight:

Weekend:
West Ham Vs Man City
Liverpool vs Spurs
Palace Vs Leeds
Forest Vs Fulham

Spurs could realistically be in the relegation zone by the end of the week.

[Winston Biscuit]

1-3 down at HT, with a man sent off, and their fans are leaving the stadium

Not so much sneaking out as evacuating

If Spurs did go down, surely it would be without parallel? Big clubs like Leeds, Newcastle and Villa have been relegated, but Spurs have been close to the summit in the past decade where the financial gap between the "haves" and "have nots" has grown drastically compared to the other examples mentioned. They have one of the best and most lucrative stadiums in Europe and have the commercial income that reflects the aforementioned disparities that now exist in the game.

I think it would be a significantly bigger story than all previous "big club" relegations.

They're competing in the Champions League this season too. The other big clubs going down haven't been in the Champions League in their relegation season and most were slower declines than we've seen with Tottenham. Leeds was fairly quick, but that was caused by poor finances, whilst Tottenham have some of the best financials in the world.

It could well be one of the biggest from any major footballing nation, not just England. There have been some big relegations in Germany (Schalke; Hamburg; Bremen) and Spain (Espanyol; Atletico; Sociedad) this century. None of these are directly comparable to Tottenham either.

The biggest club from a top European league that's been relegated (biggest at the time of relegation) appears to be when Milan got relegated in 1982, but that came a season after a promotion when they were demoted to Serie B for match fixing.

I do feel Tottenham would financially dominate the Championship to the point of easily winning the title though, in a similar way to how Birmingham did so in League One.

Saw a BBC article about a potential £261m decline in their revenues (about 43% lower than being in the Premier League) if they did end up going down though. A projected revenues of £348m, on top of player sales, would mean no-one could even come close to competing. Apparently they've got 50% relegation wage drop clauses in their contracts too.

I'd imagine our points record would be under threat.

[Royality creeps In]

The amount of their fans having a meltdown is hysterical. (Jamie O Hara, Expressions etc)
If Arsenal win the Prem and they get relegated it would really push them over the edge
