Gary Neville has had his say on Tottenham Hotspur's relegation battle this season as they face a stunning drop into the Championship under Igor Tudor
Gary Neville has suggested that Tottenham Hotspur's potential relegation could be "very good for the Premier League". Spurs are teetering just a single point above the relegation zone with nine league matches left to play.
The North London club's performance has taken a nosedive under temporary head coach Igor Tudor, who has suffered defeats in his first four games at the helm. The pressure on the ex-Juventus and Lazio boss ramped up following Tuesday's 5-2 drubbing by Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
Tudor is now preparing his team for a trip to Anfield to face Liverpool on Sunday, with Tottenham potentially slipping into the bottom three if West Ham and Nottingham Forest secure victories in their preceding fixtures.
Ex-Manchester United defender turned pundit, Neville, shared his thoughts on The Overlap podcast, suggesting that Spurs' potential drop could benefit the competitiveness of England's top-tier football league.
He said: "I refuse to predict relegation. I hated it, the idea of seeing a club go down.
"But I must admit seeing Tottenham go down wouldn't be great for Tottenham fans and I think Tottenham are an amazing club, but it would be very good for the Premier League from a competitive perspective and the idea of Leeds staying up, of Sunderland staying up.
"I'll tell you what I was more worried about at the start of the season, that every club which came up was just going straight back down again.
"I think the Premier League doesn't necessarily need Tottenham to go down, but it needs clubs other than the ones that come up to go down.
"It would be sad to go down, but maybe they've had it coming."
Despite expressing his thoughts on Spurs' possible relegation to the Championship - the 51 year old doesn't foresee such a scenario unfolding for the North London club.
He added: "I don't think they will go down.
"If you're going to make another change, that for me will probably need to be today or tomorrow because you don't wait."
