So we're 3/1 to go down with the bookies, some shorter than that.
Feels about right to me.
Criminal mismanagement, and to think that while they're fucking us on the pitch, I'm also locked in a battle with the club over a repair/replacement of a £107 club shirt that was terrible quality and fell apart twice in 8 months. I've told them I'm willing to cancel my membership (of about 30 years...) and son's membership, and won't buy anything again from official club shops, and even mentioned that I'm a senior figure in the world of customer experience who speaks at conferences on the subject... but they'd apparently rather save themselves £10 on a repair in the short term, and risk losing thousands of pounds in future sales from a loyal fan. I genuinely can't help feeling that this is the perfect allegory for our club at the moment.

Or another relegation thread.
Total cunts. I've boycotted them. THEY need to earn money from fans. Most fundamentally by giving 100pc on pitch. And then treating fans well at the stadium and on issues such as yours.
That is shocking. Rotten to the core, cunts
To discuss if we can stay up in the championship?
Call me a wild optimist but I really feel we can hold our own in the Championship and become a solid top 10 team.
Yeah I called it out a long time ago but was told by many it was the manager's fault.
Newcastle and Villa obviously went down within the last decade. But neither did it off of a title winning season.
Pricing in the Champo will be interesting won't it!! Because I for one will not be paying £50 odd for "membership" ... ie the right to buy tickets, 20k of which will be unsold every week!
I really wish fans en mass would resist the gouging.
Exhibit A.
Exhibit B.
Thomas Frank's praise of Woolwich reportedly rubbed the Tottenham squad up the wrong way. Sacked Spurs boss Thomas Frank reportedly would not stop talking about Woolwich to his players, so much so that there was a feeling of “just shut up about Woolwich.”
Well you can't say they're not putting the foundations in place to help us back up next season.....

Championship play-offs: EFL likely to opt for six-team expanded format in 2026/27 ahead of general meeting
EFL clubs are set to decide whether to expand next seasons play-offs in a general meeting next month; The current format involves the four teams that finish directly below the automatic promotion places; The Premier League has some concerns that it may dilute quality
Yeah, I looked at tickets for tonight and it's half empty. They're trying to charge £63-£100 for this match, and ain't no-one paying that for a team playing like we are this season - but because 70% of the stadium is Season Ticket sales now, they can't drop prices to fill up seats so we end up playing to empty seats.
This is availability for tonight's game in my usual area:
Bring back Dele. Why no? Absolutely nothing to lose. Get it done.
It boggles my mind that we lost 22 games last season and still didn't get pulled into a relegation scrap despite finishing 17th.
I'd rather play some of our youth who are in some sort of game time rhythm.
Those two have very punchable faces.Well you can't say they're not putting the foundations in place to help us back up next season.....

Yup. A lot of our players seem to think that relegation won't affect them. They probably imagine that they'll just get moves away. Ignoring the fact that this will be on their CVs just as much as the EL win will.
Jack Pitts-Brooke actually wrote about it recently in the Times.
Nobody is going to save Spurs but these players. They have to start performing
The reality is that if the worst happens over the last 10 league games, it will mark the reputations of this group foreverwww.nytimes.com
At last this is being picked up by a journalist!
It's what a hell of a lot of us have been saying for years!
I really think the club, stadium and shirt is too big for a lot of these players, if not 90% of them. They just dont have the minerals for it.
It's almost like we don't have a CEO!Yeah, I looked at tickets for tonight and it's half empty.

I mean, even on a straight commercial level FFS! We are at risk of losing c£300m odd (more if we don't come straight back up). One mitigant is to have a full stadium rocking. Maybe, just maybe, make it £10 for the youth of Tottenham and ram the place???
oh wait, as long as some Insta slag at the training ground creates "content" we'll be ok??????
