Wayne Rooney has delivered a blunt verdict on Tottenham Hotspur’s relegation fears following their heavy defeat to Arsenal, offering a clear assessment of where Spurs stand.There is no hiding place now for this group of Tottenham Hotspur players, who find themselves struggling under yet another manager following the sacking of Thomas Frank.Igor Tudor took charge of his first match as Spurs interim manager, and it was a baptism of fire, with Arsenal turning the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium into a stomping ground, beating Tottenham 4-1.It was a disastrous second half for the Croatian manager, who saw his side crumble after putting up a fight in the first half, where they went in 1-1 at the break.Photo by SpursWebTottenham relegation verdict as Wayne Rooney reacts after Arsenal defeatRelegation is now the bitter reality for Tottenham, who find themselves four points off 18th-placed West Ham United.Spurs are 16th in the league and desperately need to get points on the board if they are to create some daylight between themselves, Nottingham Forest and West Ham.Tudor claimed that he is 100 per cent certain Tottenham will avoid the drop, and now Wayne Rooney has shared a similar sentiment. Speaking to BBC Sport, Rooney gave his verdict on Spurs’ survival hopes and said: “Yeah, I think they will be fine. I do not think they will get relegated. I think for West Ham to pick up points will be difficult. But they are down there.“They are down there, and they were there last season. A little bit closer to the relegation zone this season. So yeah, I think they will be fine, and I think they are just about good enough not to get relegated.” Position Team Played MP Won W Drawn D Lost L For GF Against GA Diff GD Points Pts 14 BrightonBrighton27 8 10 9 36 34 2 34 15 LeedsLeeds27 7 10 10 37 46 -9 31 16 TottenhamTottenham27 7 8 12 37 41 -4 29 17 Nottingham ForestNottingham Forest27 7 6 14 25 39 -14 27 18 West HamWest Ham27 6 7 14 32 49 -17 25 Spurs warned against complacency as Wayne Rooney compares squad strengthSpurs cannot afford to get complacent, and everyone needs to be on their toes if they are to arrest their slump this season.The Lilywhites are winless domestically in 2026 and have managed just two wins from their last 18 league outings.Injuries have not helped their case, and that could well play a role in what is shaping up to be a three-horse relegation dogfight.Rooney, however, believes Nottingham Forest has the stronger squad, even though he expects Spurs to avoid the drop. Again speaking to BBC Sport, he added: “I think I was watching the Forest Liverpool game today, and Forest have got a better squad than Tottenham.“They are in a similar position in the league. So, I think they are being a bit naive, whether that is the fans or the club, in thinking that they are a top 16 team. They are not, they are miles off it.”READ MORE: Tottenham’s next five Premier League fixtures compared to West Ham and Nottingham ForestThe post Wayne Rooney reveals whether he thinks Tottenham will be relegated this season appeared first on Spurs Web.
