Arsenal legend does not want Tottenham to be relegated this season | OneFootball

Ian Wright “has no hatred” for Spurs and hopes they survive the drop

Ian Wright has insisted he does not want to see Tottenham relegated this season.

After West Ham beat Fulham and Nottingham Forest picked up a shock point at Manchester City on Wednesday night, Spurs are just a single point above the bottom three.

Their game in hand comes tonight at home to Crystal Palace, in what feels like a monumental match in their season.

With Arsenal firm favourites to win the Premier League title, it is shaping up to be a disastrous campaign for Spurs fans.

I've never had a hatred of Tottenham ... I don't want to see them go down, no chance

However, Wright hopes the club avoid the nightmare scenario, despite his Arsenal allegiances.

"People talk about Tottenham going down this season, there's a chance," Wright said.

"I wouldn't want to see Tottenham go down. In this moment right now, I watched them the other day, absolutely they could.

"But I wouldn't like to see it. I've never had a hatred of Tottenham. When I was younger, I was always Glenn Hoddle. I loved Glenn Hoddle and I still do. So I never had a hatred for them.

"It's only when I went to Arsenal that naturally comes in. I don't want to see Tottenham go down. No chance."

There has been significant upheaval off the pitch at Spurs this season.

Daniel Levy was removed by the ownership in September as the younger generations of the Lewis family increased their influence at the club.

However, progress in terms of results has been non-existent and the decision to sign only Conor Gallagher and teenage left-back Souza in the January transfer window looks to be a major mistake.

For Spurs to compete with the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City, Wright believes a change of ownership is required.

"Now that Daniel Levy's gone, they can't blame him," he said.

"It's the Lewis family. They've got to change the ownership. It can't be [Levy] now.

"You need an owner who can come in who's got that [Roman] Abramovich energy. He wants to win on the pitch and Tottenham have got everything in place."
