Tottenham Hotspur is struggling in the Premier League, with the team currently in 16th place and only one point above the relegation zone after 29 matches. The club has lost five consecutive games, including a 3-1 defeat to Crystal Palace, and faces a tough upcoming match against Liverpool at Anfield, where it has lost in its last four visits. According to unconfirmed reports from BBC, relegation to the Championship could result in Tottenham losing approximately 261 million pounds in revenue next season, a nearly 38% decline from last year's 690 million pounds, due to reduced income from sponsorships, ticket sales, and TV deals.
Player contracts reportedly include automatic 50% salary reductions if the team is relegated. Managerially, Tottenham recently fired Thomas Frank and appointed Igor Tudor, but Tudor has lost his first three league matches. The Telegraph reports that Tottenham is considering dismissing Tudor and has contacted Roberto De Zerbi as a potential replacement, though Tudor's contract runs until the end of the season.
