    Always said too big to go down but they did finish 17th last season alarm bells should have been ringing. 

    They finished on 38 points, granted they got a trophy in the shape of the europa league but the domestic football was crap. 

    As others have stated above if they dropped they could be a car crash for a season or 2 massive slump in revenue and every team would want to have a go at them. 

    I think they will bring in dyche and pick up the 2 wins they need. 

    West Ham to come down would suit me just aswell as haven’t been to there ground yet.

    Think they'd be fine - would be a bit like when Newcastle came down, they'd get good money for quite a few players then spend half of it on players who'd be very good in the Championship.

    Nobody in their right mind is going to be crawling over themselves to take over with a potential relegation on their cv - unless there is a significant financial inducement.

    Even if they go down they have the consolation of coming to NZ for a game against Auckland FC in late July.

    Stuart Pearce.

    It is in the British constitution that a Tudor must be succeeded by a Stuart.
    That won’t end well…

    Spurs would definitely get promoted straight back to the PL. In a league where Millwall are on the verge of automatic promotion and newly promoted Wrexham can spend 35m to be in play off contention, i really don't think Spurs would have anything to worry about.

    They'd be able to cope with the huge drop off in revenue by selling players. They would probably be able to bring in at least 300m+ from sales, and could spend 100-130m on buying a team of good players for this level. That would dwarf what any other team would spend.

    Every club in this division can put out a team of good players. The only difference Spurs will have with their team under your scenario is that theirs will have cost them a lot more and their fans will get pissed off with them a lot quicker.

    If they come down you'd would want to play them early in the season and give them a massive reality check. 

    Probably have the likes of Lankshear, Yang and Donley all in their side who would have championship experience from this season but some of the bigger names that can't get moves will be in for a massive shock

    Sure, but their spending in the PL dwarves that of clubs like Brentford, Bournemouth and Brighton

    They've also got Phillips at Stoke, Devine at Preston and Mikey Moore at Rangers who will all be there. Decent young players who will all have experience.

    Then they will just go out and buy some of the divisions better players, for example if they wanted Fatawu from Leicester, he'd probably jump at the chance to join. Could probably get a player like Piroe or Tanaka from Leeds who aren't needed there but were quality in the Championship. 

    Of course every club would raise their game for Spurs, but good players will sign for them because of who they are. I think they'd be absolutely fine.

    Whereas if WetSpam go down they really could struggle with their ownership and ground etc?

    Seen a few comments wanting Redknapp - he's even older!
    ‘Arry was interviewed at the Cheltenham Festival a couple of weeks ago. He definitely seemed very keen to get the job…although he did then add that he’d be signing Peter Crouch, Luka Modric, Jermaine Defoe & probably Niko Krancjaer 😉

    They'll never struggle with the ground while someone else is paying for it.

    Just so glad that Spurs are taking the qualification for the Championship League really seriously. 
    Rooney is the man to get them over the line.

    Isn't he a manager who gets a reaction from players though? Intense, high standards etc.

    Probably not what they want long term as he falls out with players, and also the board, but he should be ok to keep them up, as there's only 7 weeks of the season left.

    You're using the lyrics of a song that includes "baby's" instead of "babies" to make a point about spelling and grammar?

    Hey I only copied and pasted it, they aren't my lyrics, but i've credited the songwriters, the idea to post here was mine tho, but not particularly to make a point about spelling and grammar, more one of levity.

    Not immediately, he's an intricate systems guy who needs time to build up patterns of play and requires every player to be good on the ball. He isn't getting that with those Spurs defenders

    Isn’t that what Tudor was meant to be known for?

    I think he's the sort of manager to need a pre-season to implement his style of play - I said before they appointed Tudor thatI thought De Zerbi would be a terrible choice for that reason, I think it would be an even worse one 7 games further on.
