Back the academy.
Get players wanting to play for the shirt.
We don't need 40m-60m mercs.
Back Moore, Vuskovic, Hall, Williams-Barnett, Phillips, Dorrington, Donley and Lankshear.
Get some fucking pride back in this club.

A lot less cunts in it.
Hopefully we sell/let go
Sarr, Romero, VDV, Porro, Udogie, Bentancur, Solanke, Richarlison, Vicario, Palhinha, Kolo Muani, Gallagher, Dragusin,
Expect to keep: can’t see Kulusevski or Maddison leaving considering their injuries
Kinsky, Spence, Danso, Vuskovic, Philips, Souza, Bergvall, Gray, Maddison, Kulusevski, Odobert, Lankshear, Melia, Moore, Williams-Barnett, Olusesi,
Wouldn’t mind keeping but expect they will go:
Kudus, Tel, Xavi
We will need passing midfielders, wingers and maybe a new striker.
If De Zerbi keeps his word then something like the below which I can live with.
Kinsky
Spence Vuskovic Danso Souza
New DM Gray
Odobert Maddison Kulusevski
New Striker

There is a less than 0% chance that Vuskovic is coming to play Championship football when the likes of Bayern and Barca are sniffing about, add the fact he's going to be in the biggest shop window in the sport for the summer.
Can't see Gray staying either. He left Leeds to go and play PL football. The rest of the team I can see happening, although I think they probably get Trafford regardless. Unless Newcastle go for him, we're probably the biggest draw he gets, and as much as everyone loves to say we're going down forever, it's more than likely we come straight back up, and he knows it.
Also think Tel will be there as I don't see a big queue for him and he'll do okay down there. Solanke too.
I too think Vuskovic will leave. I hope I am wrong though- would be great to see him with us next season, wherever we end up.
Me too obviously, the only one that looks capable of being legitimately world class, and for that very reason, he gone. ENIC will pay themselves on the back for a great job with him. They basically acted like brokers to get him from obscurity to a top club, and they'll make a shit ton of cash doing so.
Vuskovic will be sold (or loaned out) and Spence won't stay either but the rest I can see happening ( hopefully keep Devine).

FFS. Vuskovic is not playing Championship football. Neither is Danso or Gray and Bergvall isn't sitting on the bench in the Championship. Finally, both Maddison amd Kulusevski on big wages will not be playing in the Championship. Give your head a wobble.
Ok then we will just sell the whole squad and stay in the championship. Great plan.
Yeh tbh we will probably just loan him out again in the hope we come straight back up.
The money we get for all the other players means we probably don't have to sell him.
or even worse
see Leicester City
Danso and Gray could easily stay. After selling the others we could just tell them they're staying and tbh I don't think either would kick up a fuss.
We're not going to sell everyone it doesn't work like that.
Vicario, Romero, VDV, vuskovic (loan) Udogie, Porro, Spence, Bentancur, Gallagher, Kudus, Xavi, Tel (loan or permanent) and Richarlison is enough.
Wouldn't even be surprised if we somehow kept Solanke and Sarr tbh.
Maddison post ACL ain’t going nowhere nor is Kulusevski. We have to hope both of them find their fitness for next season.
I never want to see any of them again in a spurs shirt. They have no pride in our badge.
I will give gray, bergvall , Kulu and Maddison a pass. The rest can all get to fuck.
Oh and especially Romero. Tired of this green cross code mother fucker. “ stop look listen “ every time he gets the ball.

No, we will sell/loan most of the squad and buy/promote players to get us promoted back to the PL. I don't think you understand the gravity of relegation.
In the last accounts we generated about 560m in revenue. The PL revenue is about 150-200m and that drops to about 60m in the Championship. You can then take off another 150m in commercial revenue. So we'd be lucky to generate about 300m in the Championship. Player wages last year were 260m. Nobody knows if there are relegation clauses but either way we will have to sell. Then factor in that most of our players are full internationals and dont want to play second tier football. When Villa went down they sold/loaned 16 players. Anyway, why do you want to keep these players? They've been dreadful for two seasons.
We have tons to sell or release without hitting Gray to make money and cut wages.
Romero, VDV, Udogie, Porro, Vicario, Bentancur, Richarlison, Kolo Muani, Solanke, Sarr, Palhinha, Bissouma.
That is 12 players already accounting for around 50% of our wages. You don’t sell what you plan to build you future team around. You sell those without a future at the club first. Newcastle cut around 50% of the squad when they went down and came back up the following season, I expect if we aren’t dumb that will be us.
Edit: could add Gallagher on to that.
