What happened the last time Spurs were relegated and are there lessons to learn?
It was a big shock when Keith Burkinshaw’s talented side went down in 1977 – but will the current team avoid the same fate?

Flipping cheek if that’s true from Simons as he’s hardly been pulling up trees!
Kudus has also been arse apart from in the first few games.
EXCLUSIVE: Xavi Simons agent looking for a move to league 1 because Championship too difficult for him.
All of them then
think a number of players will have to go, especially the ones who have been crap……….erm is that no all of them! There’s not one of who has been consistently good the whole season! Yes injuries have been horrendous but we should still have a enough quality to be further up the league! As for the post re Kudus & Simons (if true) if they had been top quality they wouldn’t be with us, there’s a reason they’re there in the trenches
be quite honest are they two going to be relied on to get us out of them? If the worst happens again the two aforementioned away to Stoke mid February 2 nil down 20 to go kudus & Simons over to you……. 
Good article. All the same things happening now. Good players not replaced, constant barnies with players/fans, players scared to play at home. The Jennings comment of 'relegation did not just happen today, its been happening for 3 years' could easily apply to now but maybe substitute 3 years for 8.What happened the last time Spurs were relegated and are there lessons to learn?

There is a European Final defeat at the centre of both of them. Rotterdam in 1974 was our first defeat in a competitive final in 92 years of history and I think that scarred Bill Nick which led to his resignation early in the 74/75 season.
After the Glory, Glory years in the early 60s, the trophies dried up and the 1967 FA Cup was our only trophy for the remainder of that decade. In 1970, Bill Nick sold off an aging Jimmy Greaves in part-exchange for Martin Peters (who was the best locksmith player in the game at the time) and that bought us 3 trophies in 3 seasons and we nearly made it 4 out of 4 but for that defeat to Feyenoord.
For Poch, the golden team of 16/17 seems to have been the pinnacle but, despite the mismanagement from above and the signs of decline starting to creep their way in, we fluked our way to Madrid in 2019. We lost what was ultimately the last throw of the dice for the Pochettino era.
And so began the All or Nothing era and it looks like we've finally got down to the nothing.
Our current situation was highlighted under Pochettino regards squad, Conte stated we had a loser mentality, Postecoglou recently quoted we were cheap & cheerful all has gathered into the perfect storm which the club finds its self in…….they’ve brought in on its self. Levy quoted two things first the spending power of city, Chelsea and now the puddledrinkers down the road wasn’t sustainable it would crash , Mm well I don’t see any other BIG club toiling at the wrong end of the league table and he also said our new stadium would help us compete with other clubs for the best players increasing revenue which would be invested in the playing squad……again crock of shite! how ironic the club run best financially is the one that’s going to suffer for it
If we do go down , watching quite a few of the championship channels , they’re not too bad , obviously bias but not ridiculously so
Would it mean that we’d get this legend more often on our tv ?

When very successful ex-pros such as Rooney, Neville, Keane etc. come out and blast your commitment and fight on The Overlap you’d think that’s all the rocket these players would need.
If Romero had anything about him he’d call a team meeting, sit them down and make them watch those sections on us. He should then say ‘Are we going to prove these fuckers right and go out with a whimper, or are we going to fight for every ball and really show them?!’ (Of course he’d have to make sure his translator was on hand eh
Richard Arlison
)
Unfortunately I’m not sure they have the mentality for that and are just as likely to sulk even further. I’d love them to prove me wrong though.

Typical of the squad for the most part. Full of over inflated egos and players that think they are way better than they actually are
Was Milesy cross-dressing before the game and forgot to remove his lippy?!If we do go down , watching quite a few of the championship channels , they’re not too bad , obviously bias but not ridiculously so
