Financial sustainability? A reason to sell of our players and be somewhat justified in doing so. Selling off players and generating immediate cash flow without anyone batting an eyelid because we are relegated and the expectation is we sell players.

I think thats part of it but there something more sinister at play which I can't explain. Something that benefits the people up top financially.

I honestly think that's just fanciful and inaccurate.

Incompetence has led us to this current situation, and a really big dollop of complacency, allied to overseers in name only.

And January was the most astounding show of ineptitude I can recall. To sell Johnson, then to compound it by failing to cover his loss and the injury to Kudus was mind numbing.

But to consider all this as being financially beneficial to those at the top, given the risks, and subsequent cost of getting us back into the PL, is allowing the mind to run away.
 
I have thought a lot about whether this whole situation has been intentionally constructed by the people running the joint

And there are so many signs that point to it but if they were genuinely trying to get us relegated surely they would have just left Frank in charge to finish off the job?

I think they are just a disaster cocktail of incompetence , arrogance and delusion
 
"Spurs does crazy things to people. You put that club into any sentence or any issue, and invariably they all come here and try and diminish as much as they can… …But it’s Spurs mate, they love it, they love it"

Maybe they are hoping for relegation because they are trying to get Levy to sell his shares back to the club so ENIC have full control for an eventual sale #clutching

We lose around £250m if we go down though through TV money, sponsorship money, gate receipts will be less this time around and no European football.

If they wanted immediate cash flow then they could sell off our players if we stayed in the league regardless, also this is at a risk if we come straight back up next season which is by no means a guarantee at all.

And who's going to buy them? And how much will they bring?
Not 250 mil...

WTF is this? Seriously.

Occam's razor is slitting its wrists right now reading this...

It's just incompetence and hubris - not a sinister conspiracy.

I doubt the higher ups want to devalue the club by getting relegated. They just failed in a bad “moneyball” experiment. The looked at the model of financially successful mid table clubs and attempted to follow suit.

We don’t complain because we are not run by people who want to win no matter the cost, we are run by real estate developers. In some ways I don’t even blame the referees for the lack of protection and inconsistent decisions (like many other lower level clubs face). The 9th most valuable club in world football and we have no real desire to win.

The owners want to squeeze the fans for every last pound without reciprocating with a competitive product.

I'm saying I believe there's something underhand going on that will come out a long time from now. Something that can't be explained logically but literally every sign points to it.

I don't buy this "they're just incompetent" theory. Naturally when someone is incompetent and doesn't have the foggiest about what they're doing they will just decide things based on the general consensus. Our board are not football people we accept this but literally every decision they make goes against what 99.99999% of the fanbase want. That's not the actions of someone incompetent.

Yes I am aware on face value we lose revenue but I'm saying I won't be surprised if it's a big money laundering scheme and these higher up people in these powerful positions think and are advised on things us normal people can't comprehend.

I don't understand how the TV commentators, all the fans in the stands, and the ones at home all see it one way and somehow VAR goes the other way. Its crazy

They spent years selling us VAR as the tool that will end all controversies and make things 100% right. While they actually were sneaking the ultimate tool that will allow the powers that be (League, TV, Betting companies, etc) control outcomes of matches and even season. Football has become un-enjoyable, dull, depressing, and full of worse controversies instead. They don't care though since they have their control in place now and will never relinquish it.
We are getting relegated because we are the latest piece of sensationalism and big-story manufacturing that media always dig for, and betting companies collect $$$$ on.
I am actually starting to really think there is an insider rat or some sort of hidden operation to impact our injury situation as part of this scheme of creating this huge story.
A book will be written 15-20 years from now that will reveal the 2016 title robbery, and 2026 relegation.
