Tottenham Hotspur is finding itself in precarious financial waters as their attempts at cost-cutting have not yielded the desired competitive results. Historically included among the Premier League's 'big six', Tottenham's claims to this status have been waning, especially given their meager accomplishments in the last two decades, with only a League Cup and a UEFA Europa League title to show for their efforts. Last season, the team barely avoided relegation, finishing in 17th place and maintaining a slim 13-point buffer from the relegation zone, but current circumstances put them even closer to disaster as they now sit at 16th only one point ahead of the relegation spot occupied by West Ham.
