Player Valuation: £70m
I suspect so.
They have had chances to get away...and for a while seemed to, but the last five or six weeks have seen them get stuck while West Ham, in particular, have been changing the narrative of doom around them.
Spurs have too many expensive players to fail to get the points they need, in my view. The likes of Richarlison will come good eventually. Forest, too, have enough good players - costly ones. While football is not efficient in economic terms, as recruiters don't have perfect knowledge, you can generally say that the more expensive a player, the better he tends to be all things being equal. In general. West Ham's players weren't cheap either. Leeds's, by comparison, were. In a four-way battle with better funded clubs, their only hope is they outperformed their budget vis-a-vis the others...
I think that could well play out now. If it doesn't, it proves how economically inefficient the recruitment at the club that goes down was. So that would be a richly deserved relegation for the club in question.
