A first-half goal from Joao Palhinha secured a nervy win over Everton, and West Ham's simultaneous victory over Leeds proved irrelevant—Spurs clung to 17th place, the same spot they finished the previous campaign. But the two-point margin papered over a season so catastrophic that even survival felt like an escape rather than a triumph.\n\nThomas Frank's arrival in July was meant to build on the Europa League success under Ange Postecoglou, but his first press conference set an ominous tone. \"One thing is 100 per cent sure, we will lose football matches,\" he declared, a statement that proved far more prophetic than anyone could have imagined. Within weeks, Spurs blew a two-goal lead against Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup and lost on penalties, reviving the 'Spursy' label that the Bilbao triumph had supposedly killed.\n\nThe summer transfer window compounded the early disappointment. Eberechi Eze, widely expected to arrive in north London, instead completed a dramatic switch to Arsenal, while Nottingham Forest blocked Morgan Gibbs-White's departure, leaving Spurs without the creative reinforcements they desperately needed. The sales of club legend Heung-Min Son and Brennan Johnson—the latter fetching £35m from Crystal Palace—further depleted the attacking options, placing immense pressure on a squad already stretched thin.\n\nInjuries then took a sledgehammer to any recovery hopes. James Maddison suffered a full ACL rupture in a pre-season friendly against Newcastle, a disaster compounded by Dejan Kulusevski's long-term absence. With Maddison and Kulusevski sidelined, Tottenham’s creativity evaporated. The £51m signing of Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig was supposed to fill the void, but the Netherlands international struggled to adapt, scoring his first Premier League goal only in December. His season ended in April with yet another ACL injury—the 27th player Tottenham lost to injury during the campaign, a league-high and a grim repeat of the previous season's casualty list.\n\nOff-field missteps deepened the crisis. Yves Bissouma was dropped from a European fixture due to poor timekeeping, and disciplinary issues continued to simmer. The pressure on Frank intensified when he branded Spurs fans \"unacceptable\" after they booed goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario following a costly error against Fulham, a moment that laid bare the toxic atmosphere enveloping the club.\n\nThe January window offered a glimmer of hope with the arrival of Conor Gallagher, but the sale of Brennan Johnson—and the subsequent injury to West Ham's Mohammed Kudus two days later—underscored the squad's fragility. Gallagher brought energy but could not single-handedly reverse the slide, as Spurs endured a 15-match winless league run and a club-record six consecutive defeats.\n\nOn the final day, Spurs faced Everton knowing that anything less than victory would put their top-flight status in the hands of West Ham's result. Palhinha's early goal eased the tension, but the narrow escape has not masked the systemic failures that led to this precipice. With a bloated injury list, questionable recruitment, and a fanbase on edge, Tottenham's near-relegation is a stark warning that the club's financial muscle counts for little without a coherent plan. The 'never again' sentiment may already ring hollow unless radical changes follow.\n\nBased on reporting from Sky Sports.","news","Tottenham survived relegation on the final day, but a season marked by £51m Xavi Simons' injury, 27 injuries, and transfer misses exposed deep club issues.","334061548957863937","326135644956921856","UEFA Champions League Women","0","2026-05-24T18:52:00Z","spurs-near-relegation-51m-simons-injury-and-key-mistakes","Sky Sports","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.skysports.com\u002Ffootball\u002Fnews\u002F12040\u002F13546772\u002Ftottenhams-2025-26-season-how-catastrophic-campaign-unfolded-as-spurs-narrowly-escape-premier-league-relegation","326257534430089216","Eintracht Frankfurt",[56,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69],"326257536078450688","326257808385249280","326222712462643200","326257809152806912","326257534329425920","326257545712766976","326257546392244224","326257534526558208","326257545876344832","326255037950988288","326257545968619520",[57,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81],"Paris Saint Germain","Sheffield Wednesday","Bosnia & Herzegovina","Milton Keynes Dons","Borussia Dortmund","Manchester United","Nottingham Forest","RB Leipzig","Wolves","Crystal Palace","Arsenal","Spurs' Near-Relegation: £51m Simons Injury and Key Mistakes",[84,115,124,143],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":85,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":86,"leagueId":49,"leagueName":50,"matchId":51,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":87,"slug":88,"sourceName":54,"sourceURL":89,"teamId":64,"teamName":76,"teamIds":90,"teamNames":102,"title":114},"Carrick plans five Man Utd signings including Ederson and three midfielders as part of summer revamp, while contract talks with Bruno Fernandes are paused.","337751847408242689","2026-06-03T23:00:00Z","why-man-utd-target-five-signings-carrick-s-midfield-revamp","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.skysports.com\u002Ffootball\u002Fnews\u002F12040\u002F13550597\u002Fman-utd-transfer-news-michael-carrick-wants-four-more-signings-this-summer-after-ederson-deal-paper-talk",[64,56,59,60,61,62,63,65,69,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101],"326257546425798656","326257546258026496","326257545830207488","326257807877738496","326257546325135360","326257546094448640","326257808125202432","326222707404312576","326257545918287872","326257565195309056","326257534170042368",[76,57,71,72,73,74,75,77,81,103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,111,112,113],"Aston Villa","Manchester City","Fulham","Ipswich","Brentford","Tottenham","Hull City","Charleroi","Liverpool","Barcelona","Bayern München","Why Man Utd Target Five Signings: Carrick's Midfield Revamp",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":116,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":117,"leagueId":49,"leagueName":50,"matchId":51,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":118,"slug":119,"sourceName":54,"sourceURL":120,"teamId":56,"teamName":57,"teamIds":121,"teamNames":122,"title":123},"Newcastle United have entered the race alongside Brighton to sign an unnamed winger, intensifying summer transfer competition between the Premier League rivals.","337669298858233857","2026-06-03T17:45:00Z","newcastle-join-brighton-in-chase-for-winger-what-it-means","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.skysports.com\u002Ffootball\u002Flive-blog\u002F12040\u002F13025496\u002Fnewcastle-transfer-news-rumours-and-gossip-live-updates-and-latest-on-deals-signings-loans-and-contracts",[56,59,60,61,62,63,64,65],[57,71,72,73,74,75,76,77],"Newcastle Join Brighton in Chase for Winger: What It Means",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":125,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":126,"leagueId":49,"leagueName":50,"matchId":51,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":127,"slug":128,"sourceName":54,"sourceURL":129,"teamId":130,"teamName":131,"teamIds":132,"teamNames":137,"title":142},"Celtic’s managerial search stalls as Martin O’Neill considers a short-term deal, with Robbie Keane the frontrunner.
