Tottenham faced relegation from the English Championship (second division) after an endless fall. Frequent managerial changes and failures, players' lack of fighting spirit, and management's incompetence are all overlapping, leading to the worst period in the club's history. In response, fierce criticism is also pouring in.

England's "The Sun" strongly criticized Tottenham's leadership and the team in a column titled "Tottenham's Fall: A Catalog of Figures Made Over 7 Years."

The media pointed out Tottenham's current situation, saying, "The worst thing about soccer is that there is no sense of justice." "Though the club is falling as if it were being sucked into a sewer, those responsible are not suffering at all. Rather, the players' agents are selling players across the English Premier League (EPL) and Europe, collecting "compensation" for failures such as huge transfer fees and salary increases.

What makes Tottenham fans most frustrated is that the scale of the disaster from the board to the squad is enormous. The media said, "I thought it was at rock bottom when I fell to 17th place in the league under coach Enze Postecoglou last season, but Thomas Frank, who took the helm afterwards, stayed in place until the team was completely destroyed."

At the same time, he also criticized newly appointed interim coach Igor Tudor. "The bigger problem was next. The board appointed Croatian coach Igor Tudor on the recommendation of former general manager Fabio Paratici, who left for Fiorentina. Tudor's life span was "28 days like a house fly." He added that his tactics and player selection, which allowed only nine runs without a point in three games since taking office, are 'catastrophic.'

The attitude of the players on the ground was also on the cutting board. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is in intense indecision and panic, while captain Christian Romero has already been disciplined for the fourth time this season alone. Mickey van der Penn also collapsed in a fatal Red Card against Crystal Palace.

The media said, "It is easier for players to blame the referee and hide behind conspiracy theories than to take responsibility for themselves." However, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, who missed the entire season, Archie Gray, who sacrificed despite wearing mismatched clothes, and Dominic Solanke, who missed due to frequent injuries, deserve to avoid criticism.

The Sun stressed that the real responsibility for all this lies with the leadership. The media hit directly, saying, "The club, which will earn more than 600 million pounds (about 1.18 trillion won) this season, is heading to the second division due to Chairman Daniel Levy, ENIC Group, and the leadership."

"This is a nightmare made over seven years, and the flaws in the recruitment and transfer strategy, which have been hidden by the brilliant performances of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, have now been revealed all over the world," he said.

Meanwhile, unlike Tottenham's current disastrous situation, Son Heung-min, who left for the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) after last season, is flying fast. Wearing an LA FC uniform, he is active as he is quickly reborn as a league superstar. Last season, he played in 13 games even after joining the team, scoring more than one offensive point per game with 12 goals and three assists. In this season, he has been showing overwhelming performances with one goal and five assists in five official games since the opening of the season.
