When Ange Postecoglou steered Tottenham to 17th place in the Premier League, balancing on the relegation zone, the supporters were dejected and angry. Yet, with Leicester thirteen points behind them, Spurs supporters did not have to fear relegation and instead enjoy their success in the Europa League. Ten games before the end of the 2025/26 season, the supporters, who have not been out of the top division since 1978, realize that the possibility of relegation is very real. The only bright spot for the club is that former chairman Daniel Levy, who reigned for 25 years before stepping down last year, created a structure in case the unthinkable were to happen.
Igor Tudor is in the process of bailout as the new Tottenham manager, but the 100 per cent certainty of relegation he gave Spurs supporters at the time of his appointment has yielded zero points in two games. With this, Tottenham are once again balancing above the relegation zone, but with only four points down on West Ham in the relegation place and a loss from the first two Tudor games, Tottenham are now a real relegation contender.

A disaster for the club, but it is worth noting that former chairman Daniel Levy has made sure that the club does not bring salary expenses adapted to Premier League play into the Championship elevator.
Because according to The Athletic , Levy made sure to bake in a clause in the contract of most players about close to halving the current salary in the event of relegation. No player thought this clause would be relevant.
