Tottenham second most-backed side to be relegated with punters lumping on 55/1 shot with Harry Kane future in doubt
TOTTENHAM are hoping the appointment of Ange Postecoglou as manager can kick them on to win silverware and get back amongst the Champions League spots.
However, only Luton Town have been backed by more Betfair punters than Spurs to be RELEGATED in the new campaign.

Spurs are currently seventh in the outright odds to be the Premier League winners next term.
But it appears the ongoing transfer saga involving Harry Kane hasn’t just put punters off that selection, but has also saw them swarm to back Spurs to go DOWN.
The 55/1 odds on offer from Betfair will see some take a speculative punt, though they are as big as 40/1 to win the league, making it almost as likely.
Postecoglou has already secured the services of James Maddison, Manor Solomon and goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario in this transfer window.
While Pedro Porro and Dejan Kulusevski are now permanent signings after loan spells last year.
But it’s Kane’s future that continues to dominate the headlines and his involvement – or not – next year will have a significant impact on Spurs’ success next year.
Bayern look set to test the Tottenham resolve further having had their first bid rejected and second bid seemingly going the same way.
Postecoglou revealed he’s set to sit down with the England captain this week having had no assurances over his future, with reports of a new contract also floating around.
As a result, punters are latching onto the 55/1 odds for Spurs’ unlikely relegation next season, with only Luton Town (1/3) backed more.
Wolves (10/3) and Everton (7/2) are next most backed, just ahead of new boys Sheffield United (8/11).
Chelsea – under Mauricio Pochettino and at 250/1 – follow them.
