Some of us have been there and got the T shirt. If we do go down, I can guarantee for the majority it will be one of your best times supporting Spurs. It’ll be football as it was meant to be. Dodgy grounds, dodgy pies and some of the hardest firms you’ll come across. COYS! TTID!

I wasn't there last time, but I can totally see this. I can see that if we get Poch, get rid of the wankers, and have a great young team with a few proper older fighters, then it could be a lot of fun. I hope they renovate the stadium to make it like a cattleshed inside with cheap pies etc. as you say.

Getting rid of Levy after the season had started was dumb as fuck, no doubt about it. For better or worse he ran every aspect of the club, you can't just kick him out randomly and trust in two nobodies like Vinai and Lange. We were not ready to get rid of him.

If Levy were still here, he'd never have let Frank stay so long or failed to sign any attackers in January. He would have acted. That doesn't mean I absolve him of his crimes against the club that have led us to this point.

Probably, but the way people are talking about him you'd think he was the one keeping everything together.

In reality he left us with the team that are in this position. Sure he would've sacked Frank and signed someone in January but that probably takes us up to like 15th at best, which is hardly a ringing endorsement.

Levy on a legendary redemption character arc

He created a situation where we would be left praising him and hoping for his return

The bald genius was playing chess whilst we playing checkers

It's a good PR move tbf.

Leave us a mess, and then have the people succeeding you be even worse for not fixing the mess that you created.

And then have fans praise you for it.

We have Leeds and Forest at home and Wolves away.

Win two and draw the other and we'll most likely stay up

It's that simple

Liverpool, Villa and Chelsea just write off.

Everton and Brighton at home, we need at least a point from either of those two so can lose one.

Sunderland away - probably a loss.

That gets us to 37 points

We can afford another four losses max and that's it.

We're not beating any of those sides.
 
Found some “Welcome Home” spurs flags in the loft.
From the Palace game back in 2019.

Fuck me that was a good night out.

Will keep them in reserve for when we make it back into the Premier League!!

COYS

Levy is like the film the Death of Stalin. When Stalin dies no one know what to do because Stalin ran everything and hired idiots around him who wouldn’t threaten his power.

Most modern clubs that are run properly aren’t depends on the whims of control freak. Levy had to go but being left with Lange is basically inevitable almost. Club needs to hire a properly CEO and a proper DoF and build out a proper back office.

ENIC are a joke of an owner.

If we get relegated this is what happens

Vicario sold back Serie A for around 20m
Kinsky probably stays along with Austin. Those two plus a more experienced keeper battle it out for #1 shirt
Porro will be sold but no idea who to. Maybe Villareal type signing 30m
Romero sold to Athletic Madrid for around 55m
VDV sold to Liverpool for around 60m
Danso sold to Lyon for 20m
Phillips returns from loan to play
Dragusin sold to Udinese for 15m
Spence probably stay as nobody is buying him and I doubt we can loan him
Vuskovic sold to Bayern or Real for 75m
Takai stays
Udogie sold to Atalanta for around 20m
Davies out of contract but offered one year deal to stay and captain team in Championship
Souza stays but continues to look bewildered
Bentancur sold to Betis for 15m
Gray loaned to Leeds for one season
Bissouma out of contract and leaves
Sarr sold to Marseille for 10m
Kudus sold to Everton for 40m
Kulusevski sold to Milan for 30m
Bergvall sold to Chavs for 50m
Devine stays
Palhinha loan terminated and option to buy no taken up
Maddison sold to Coventry (assuming they come up) for 20m
Gallagher loaned to Villa or Newcastle
Simons sold to Dortmund for 45m
Scarlett, Lankshear, Melia and Wilson become our Championship forwards
Tel loaned to Lens or Lille
Richarlison sold for 15m to Fluminense
Min-Hyeok Yang stays
Solomon stays
Solanke sold to Brentford or Palace for 40m
Odobert stays
Moore stays
RKM loan terminated

So this is what we have

Kinsky, Austin, Phillips, Spence, Davies, Takai, Souza, Devine, Yang, Solomon, Odobert, Moore, Scarlett, Lankshear, Melia and Wilson. Add in some more players from the Academy like LWB and that's your squad.

Looks like we've been planning for the Championship for a long time. Need a few CMs with experience of the Championship and off we go. Plus should be able to get in around 500m and a lot of wages off the books.

If that's the squad we'll be sticking around in the Championship for a very long time

Are we capable of this still?

I’ll be at the Atletico game, sat in the home end… I’ll be interested to see what our away fans are like. Usually they are amazing. After we took the lead vs Palace, the stadium sounded good.

Honestly think Spurs fans are going to have to flip their mentality out of the doom and gloom . If relegation guaranteed new owners I could understand but they are more likely to try and come back up before they sell anyway.

You are saying a player under contract will simply refuse. You are suggesting we will simply sell on the cheap to keep him happy. ENIC are many things but they won’t sell a player on the cheap if they want to retain him.

Youd have to worry about his commitment to the cause tho - thriving in the Championship will require a lot of hard graft - which in turn will need a lot of self motivation - which is a worry.

The ownership have systematically killed off this level of support over a number of years - bit by bit, they removed the bricks of the soul of the club and replaced them with plastic

I keep on seeing tweets from Everton fans feeling sorry for us. Makes sense since they can really relate.

And they are right, fans aren't the problem but we could unite and try to be part of the solution. It's hard but I'm pretty sure Everton were in an even more hopeless position when they stayed up.

No of course not.

1. Scousers are a different breed. All they have is football
2. We've long sold out to Korean day trippers in our corporate bowl so dont expect any rabid fervour from the stands
