Tottenham Hotspur's season has collapsed into chaos as they fight to avoid relegation, with thousands of fans abandoning Thursday's 2-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace. Interim manager Igor Tudor has lost three straight games since replacing sacked Thomas Frank, leaving Spurs just one point above the drop zone. The club's decline from Europa League winners to potential Championship contenders has left supporters questioning who bears responsibility.

Former chairman Daniel Levy's 25-year reign ended amid criticism over financial restraint despite spending £979m on players since Pochettino's 2019 departure. The wage bill of £248.6m trails other Premier League 'Big Six' clubs, while his 12 sacked managers have reached 16 semi-finals without major trophies. Former Spurs goalkeeper Paul Robinson argues the problems have been building for years, with Levy employing 'win now' managers like Mourinho and Conte but failing to provide the necessary squad investment.

Pochettino's 2019 departure marked the beginning of the end, with Robinson noting Spurs should have backed him after the Champions League final. Key injuries to Kulusevski, Maddison, and Solanke, plus the sales of Kane, Son, and Johnson, have crippled the squad. With Tudor's future already in question, the club faces a stark choice: rebuild from potential relegation or continue the downward spiral that has seen them fall from Champions League finalists to relegation candidates in seven years.
