Most of Tottenham Hotspur's squad faces wage cuts if relegation from the Premier League occurs. Spurs sit just four points above the drop zone, prompting the hiring of Igor Tudor to steer the team away from danger. Tudor’s tenure begins poorly, with a 4-1 loss to Arsenal and a 2-1 defeat to Fulham, leaving Spurs winless in ten league matches. Pressure mounts ahead of their Thursday clash against Crystal Palace.
David Ornstein reports that Spurs have contract clauses allowing for mandatory salary reductions, potentially slashing player wages by around 50% if relegated. This provision, established before Daniel Levy's exit as executive chairman, aims to protect the club from a worst-case scenario. Tudor acknowledges the team's struggles, emphasizing the need for more quality and determination. The situation is dire as Spurs fight to regain form and avoid the drop.
