The very fact that this post ( see above) exists is a reason for reasonable supporters ( aka funders)
to start asking “ why this is happening” ?

How unreasonable a question is that ?

Seriously.

It's very reasonable, but I am also 100% certain that for now, everything must be focused on positive energy towards Tudor and the team.

A club of our size should be brushing aside many of the lesser lights with all due respect to these clubs, and being able to compete with the top sides.

Too many poor decisions, including the retention of an incompetent manager for too long and then failing to spend when it was needed in January,, have undone us..

But the full beam of ire is for tomorrow, and once we are safe.

Same as us to West Ham of course. It’s why if we somehow win Thursday then and they lose then I think we are probably ok because we should pick up a few draws here and there. Lots of ifs and buts there though.

Yeah that’s the thing, if we can get it to 7/8 points it’ll be too much with less than 10 games remaining.

Trouble is that should we lose tomorrow and to the dippers it won’t be 7/8. It’ll be 1 or worse.

On the topic of relegation I'm fully going off the deep end. I'm beyond depression, anger, bargaining and denial and entering the acceptance phase.

I enjoy novelty and if Spurs aren't gonna win anything soon and be fucking shit in the PL, maybe a year (and please let it only be a year) in the Champ as a kind of reset would be fun from a fan perspective. Loads of old Spurs fans say the year in Division 2 was the most fun they ever had and I reckon if we can get straight back up it could end up being a really memorable, insane year that we'd look back on fondly.

For the club as a whole it would be a fucking disaster and bad on every level, but as a jaded fan who is growing utterly sick of watching this pathetic excuse for a team week after week, I'm starting to come to terms with it and hopeful it would make me actually enjoy watching Spurs again.

Get Moore, Vuskovic and some of the other loanees back, sell all the cunts that hate playing for us, get a manager that will play fun, attacking football like the guy from Boro (or Poch if he'll step down). Proper rebuild shit with a core of young players that actually want to play for Spurs.

Yeah, there is something in this. It would also reflect terribly on the "25-26 Unmentionables", What an utter shower of wanks

No longer living in London it’s much easier for me to accept relegation. I would absolutely hate it for the match going fans and people who are intimately involved with day-to-day banter from other fans. Not sure I could go to work the day after relegation to be quite honest

But aside from them, everyone at this empty husk of a club deserves relegation. I truly do mean everyone, from ownership, board, corporate execs, Lange, Vinai, everyone involved with the footballing operation from staff to players all deserve it. Absolute shitters who have run this club into the ground with their lifelessness.

Thing is- weird stuff happens at the end of the season when some of the teams and players stop having anything to play for and are less motivated. We don't want to be depending on our opponents performance as much as possible going into the end of the season.

Agreed.

West Ham, Forest, Leeds have players who have been in this situation. They know they need to fight. They also have fully fit squads. Our squad seem far too delicate for this battle. They'll turn up for the UCL games but in the league they look terrified.

UCL is an unneeded distraction for us as well. It'd be very Tottenham to lose to Palace and Forest but beat Madrid over 2 legs. The only silver-lining is Forest and Palace also have European football.

I'm terrified of tonight. City should put Forest away, but West Ham are capable of taking something off Fulham. As long as we win it doesn't really matter what they do, but I don't trust us to do that.

It does matter - if both us and West Ham win, then there’s no change.

We win, they lose,, pressure is off and we are always at least defeats ahead of them and they are quickly running out of time. Every point we collect with a 7.5 point gap strangles them

I agree - the players were much more motivated by Ange than they ever were by Frank who killed their creative spirit

The players would walk over broken glass for Ange but won't for Tudor

Yep - We had won the Europa, the club were on a massive high. We could have bottled that and gone into a season with a fresh start. Ange would have convinced players to join us. He's a great motivator.

Now we're a shell of a club.

tbh I think if we lose tomorrow there is a case for bringing Ange back for the rest of the season. I think Ange was a disaster, but the buffoons in our squad relate to him. They might just get a couple of wins with him. Maybe Keane is a better bet, but I think if we lose to Palace without showing real improvement, there is a case for one last roll of the dice. I was a solid Ange-out guy btw. He's a crap manager, but has the "up and at em" thing going for him.
