I'm hoping they don't go down, we can always rely on Spuds for some points. |  |

To be fair bigger clubs than spurs have been relegated in the past such as swindon, oldham and Barnsley and none of them returned |  | | |

I assumed they did last time it happened too, so I checked and was surprised to see that they finished 3rd, with a certain John Duncan as top scorer.
Very different times though, so, yeah they will. |  |

Thank goodness we look set for promotion - McKenna would be a perfect candidate for them |  |

Why? Because they are Spurs? They might just as I thought dirty Leeds might - and did last year, but watching them today and on a few occasions, they’ve looked weak and gutless. |  | | |

They'll possibly be forked from an FFP point of view, if the claims that their contracts don't include relegation clauses are correct.
According to Capology they've an annual wage bill of £137m, with six players earning in excess of £150k per week.
With a £95m loss last year, they're going to be rather up against it next season if they do go down.
Unless, one assumes, they go for a 'sh*t or bust' approach next season, and gamble everything on bouncing back, and avoiding EFL repercussions. That never goes wrong, does it? [Post edited 12 Apr 15:45]

Surely they will sell a lot of their players, most won't accept playing in the Champ anyway.
You'd think they would raise £100m+ from sales, even if they're not getting top prices.
Then they could go and buy the whole Noj team, because as everyone knows, they're the best players in this league. That would only cost them £5m or so. |  |

That'll be the interesting thing - how much below market value they end up being forced to accept for players who don't want to be there, they can't afford to keep, and who may end up with no offers that beat their current Spurs T&Cs (assuming no relegation clauses). | |

The players they have don't want to play for Spurs in the PL so they won't stay around for Championship football.
Also goes to show it is not all on the managers, the players must be held accountable for how poor they are. | | | |

I don’t think they will.
They’re a really badly run club. They’ll have the largest budget but they’ll also have a target on their backs every week.
Assuming they get relegated of course. Which would be hilarious. |  |

Yeah I think even if the majority of their bigger names leave they’ll have a good few that remain and then add in Mikey Moore, Ashley Phillips and other young players and they’ll have an exceptional championship squad (and they’ll also be able to buy the best players in the league if they wanted to). |  | | |

I think a lot will depend on what (if any) relegation clauses there are, and the deals that might be available elsewhere.
Gallagher, Maddison, Romero, and Simons are all on between £170k and £200k per week, with between two and five years on their contracts in the summer. I can see Spurs' summer getting interesting if there are no relegation clauses in their contracts, and nobody is willing to match or beat their current terms. Especially Maddison, who's 30 in November and is out for the season with an ACL - he might never again get terms as good as those that he's currently on. | |

They won't be in the Championship. When they are relegated they will form a breakaway league with other big European teams that have been relegated like Kaiserslautern. |  |

Spurs starting eleven cost £360 million. |
If they go down, and there is a decent chance as it stands, it will be a huge thing. Really struggling to think of a bigger, more established, team getting relegated in modern memory.
No team with their level of funding and expectation to be challenging for top 4. |  |

This is the biggest issue Spurs have. The newly promoted three won't be able to offer those kinds of wages to their players. I can see foreign clubs maybe taking a risk on van de Ven, Romero and Richarlison, perhaps Solanke as well, but beyond that, I'm not sure how they'll be able to offload the remainder to rebuild. | |

Not sure Van de Ven would fall in the risk category - he’ll go to Real Madrid or similar for £70m plus I imagine. They’ll get £200m of sales relatively easily I would have thought. | | | |

The other issue Spurs will have, is that every buying team will know Spurs need to offload high earners, so they will get transfer fees way below what they otherwise might. | |

Leeds is the closest in modern times. Champions in 1992, top 5 in 94 and 95, 98, 99, 2000, 2001,2002, relegated in 2004, relegated to League One in 2007.
In my memory there was Man U, Chelsea and Spurs in the 70's. Aston Villa in 1988, just six years after winning the European Cup and us in 1987.
All of those were when finances were more of an equal playing field. | |

Agree. Newcastle did and Spurs could easily build a much better squad than they had. |  |

Different times of course, but lest we forget, down we went only two years after being champions of England.

Fair point - he's probably their one star player who will generate a lot of interest.
Looking at their squad, it's astounding where they are. | |

They should, but there's no way in hell they'll keep hold of that squad if they go down.
Even if there aren't relegation clauses in contracts (which there might not be - not many people at Spurs will have been looking at the bottom of the table), then big clubs will see the chance to pick off any talent.
So it'll be all change and they'll have to bed in a new team very quickly, which isn't easy. But they'll have the money from all those sales, plus the revenue from even a 3/4 full stadium every week which means they'll be head and shoulders above everyone else for FFP even without the parachute payments [Post edited 12 Apr 21:46]

It'll be fascinating to watch if it does happen (which I hope it does)
A smaller club than us, after all we've one the top division more recently. |  |
