New interim head coach Igor Tudor is confident that Tottenham will stay up for sure, and Spurs fans will be hoping that the Croat’s confidence is not misplaced.

How long have Tottenham been in the English top flight?

The Athletic have revealed that Spurs have been in the top division of English football since the 1978-79 season, which is the fifth-longest run without going down.

That means the Lilywhites have been in the top flight consistently for 48 campaigns in a row. That is only bettered by Arsenal, Everton, Liverpool and Man United. It also encompasses a whopping 1,866 league games and 2,841 league goals.

Spurs last tasted relegation in the 1976/77 campaign. Should Tottenham go down this year, the club would endure its lowest point in nearly half a century; something that an entire generation of Spurs fans have never experienced.

Jamie Carragher believes Spurs may be on the verge of a catastrophe

While Tudor is confident that relegation is not a possibility for his side, one pundit insists that Tottenham are certainly not too good to go down.

Jamie Carragher suggested that Spurs’ struggles at home make relegation a real possibility, claiming that there is little evidence to suggest that the Lilywhites can pick up wins in N17.

Relegation would have massive financial consequences at Tottenham, potentially putting the club in a major black hole.
