He said: “Spurs are going down. Even their manager says, we’ve got to improve in every single area, including the brain. Do you know what I mean?“Like, he must be sitting, he walked in there, Tudor, the manager, and gone like, and thought, wow, the stadium, been walked around the training ground, wow, this is elite. “And then seeing the team turn up and thinking, what, where, what, what is this? I reckon he’s sitting there talking to his mates, going, listen, I cannot believe what I’m seeing here.“I think they’ll go down.”Spurs facing huge consequences if relegation fears become realitySpurs cannot afford to go down this season, given the severe implications that would follow.
