Tottenham have rarely had such dark days, having finished 17th last season - albeit winning the Europa League under Ange Postecoglou. The Australian was sacked days later and replaced by Thomas Frank who lasted eight months before leaving in February. Obviously there's been a call for all Spurs fans to be the 12th man against Forest. Tottenham have not been out of the top flight since 1977-78 but are winless in the Premier League since December, with just two victories in their past 21 league games. "The belief that we will be a Premier League club is, I'm hoping, still alive - but the reality is there is no club too big to go down."
