What's the prize money per league position these days? Used to be a couple of million quid per place I'm sure so more than that now I'd expect.

Jumps are inconsistent, sometimes about a million sometimes several. Last year’s here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c24qmlm88d7o

Ah but that includes TV money as well

Yeah I mean there's a stark difference between battling relegation all season and a team that is already safe, having nothing left to play for and just downing tools for the remaining games. We ourselves have taken advantage plenty when we had something to play for in past seasons in the last few games when likes of Fulham, Brentford etc were already on the beach. 

 

Yes it's awful and on paper and finishing 16th/17th looks horrific, but let's not try and twist the narrative like we were ever in danger of going down or have been in any kind of relegation battle. 

 

We were in the latter stages of all 3 cups we were in, and up til the last few games, in the hunt for European places still. The wheels have come off spectacularly and the team is now just limping to the end of the season. 

 

Not acceptable and poor from all involved to allow that to happen but plenty of context to be applied if we do finish 16th/17th.

We’re obviously not going down, Spurs haven’t won a league match this calendar year

 

But I don’t understand how so many seem to be able to write ‘we’re only X points off 5th/6th’ all season, but when we’re three points off 16th with five fixtures to go - fixtures we took three points from last season - it’s because we’re a bunch of pissy-pants over-emotional fannies

 

I’m not anxious or emotional about any of it - it’s pretty obvious we could easily finish 16th.  It’s also increasingly obvious that there is no level of shitness for some where Howe takes a scintilla of accountability for it.

To be fair I bumped this in September. 

 

Ended up not far off. We are one of the worst sides in the league this year, ironically those early Woltemade goals saved us.

If Howe survives the summer, we are the Spurs of next season fyi

But how many managers have Spurs gone through?

 

I would re-phrase that and say if the whole NUFC Management + Owners don’t get there shit together over the summer then we become the Spurs of next season.

Don’t think anybody has said we’re gonna go down or that, just that we realistically could finish 16th. 14th would be rank but 16th would be fucking awful like. 

Anywhere from 14th down would be a disastrous season tbh

8 points off relegation 🤦🏻 can see that being 2 or 3 by the end of the season

I’m worried it might be closer than that

Yeah wouldn't disagree, think we need another 2 points, and the way things are, I'm not sure we'll get them

I honestly don't think we will and if we don't well can't say we don't deserve it

Starting to get genuinely worried we might end up going down.

 

We could definitely be the 3rd worst team in the league ATM.

 

 

 

Could?

42 definitely points stays up, aye ? 

 

No need to worry is there ?

 

Asking for a friend. 

 

 

02/03 West Ham relegated with 42 points in 38 games. I think it's the highest record for a team to relegate

West Ham are six points behind Newcastle (I suppose 7 with GD) and have a match against them. There is no world is which we are safe from finishing above this team. This is a relegation fight if we lose today; without question.

3rd? I don't think we'd beat a single PL team atm. Half the championship would turn us over. It's pathetic.
