Tottenham Hotspur are in real danger of crashing into the Championship. The dismissal of Thomas Frank hasn't seen any improvement, with interim boss Igor Tudor now feeling the heat following consecutive losses to Arsenal , Fulham and Crystal Palace .

There's talk that Tudor could be ousted before Spurs resume Premier League action at Liverpool on Sunday. Europe seems like a distraction as Spurs strive to avoid descending into the second tier for the first time since 1977.

It's evident Spurs are NOT 'too good to go down'. Here's a compilation of what top pundits are saying about the club's plight and where it would stand on the list of Premier League shocks if they do tumble into the Championship...

Via Betfair, the Newcastle legend said: " Tottenham are in big danger of getting relegated now. When I saw them against Newcastle, I thought there was a real prospect of them being relegated because I just didn't see any fight.

"I didn't see any desire or any attitude from the Spurs players, particularly in that first half on Thursday [against Palace]. I think that encapsulates what they are; they're a mess, both on and off the pitch. You can tell confidence is fragile. I know they've got injuries, but everyone has injuries.

"And if they go down, they deserve to go down because it hasn't just happened this season. It was last season where they finished. We all thought that can't happen again, but it has, so they can only blame themselves."

On his Presents YouTube channel, the ex-Manchester United defender didn't mince his words, saying: "They're going down. Even the manager says we've got to improve in every area, including the brain.

"If I was a betting man, I'd bet on Spurs going down, given where they are confidence-wise. I don't see where they're going to pick up points, their record is horrendous."

Following the 4-1 loss at Arsenal, he commented on Sky Sports : "They [Arsenal] were so much better than Tottenham, it was like two different leagues. If Tottenham aren't careful, they might be in a different league. They cannot keep performing like this."

The former Spurs forward told The Sun: "It would be catastrophic if the club got relegated. A massive club like Tottenham, you look at the infrastructure and everything..

"I have been in both situations. Of course, the pressure of trying to win the league or finish in the top four is a lot of pressure.

"But I do feel like it is maybe a different type of pressure [at the bottom] when you have maybe not experienced something like this before. It is going to be tough."

In his Telegraph column, the Sky Sports pundit said: "If they drop into the Championship it would be the most shocking descent of the Premier League era, and the most embarrassing for a club of such wealth and stature since Denis Law's back-heel for Manchester City sent Manchester United into the old Second Division in 1974.

"There is no escaping the shadow of the dreaded 'R word' at Spurs. Relegation is possible. Add 'ridiculous' or 'reprehensible' and plain 'rubbish' to the valid descriptions of their record over the past 27 months, which has led them to this perilous situation. Spurs' abysmal form since they were top of the Premier League in November 2023 defies belief."

The former Spurs midfielder told 10Bet: "Yeah, absolutely [Spurs can go down]. They have got to find a way out of trouble for sure. It's been a terrible season.

"We've got some tough fixtures coming up and we need to pick up some points. We've got enough good players in the team to find a way of winning.

"Even with all the injuries that we've got, there's still enough decent players to not get relegated. And that's all it's about this season, sadly in the league, not getting relegated."
