'Tottenham will only win five games.'

It is a story that goes beyond shock and even fears. Amid experts' opinions on the prospects of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2025-2026 season, which will start anew, there is a bewildering, shocking, but also a terrible prospect that cannot be overlooked.

In the new season, Tottenham cannot avoid relegation as they can only win five games. This is the prospect of coach Jack Wilshire, who served as acting coach at the end of the season while coaching Norwich City in the 2024-2025 season.




British media TBR Football reported on the 18th (Korea time) 'Wilshire, the former acting coach of Norwich City, gave an absurd outlook on Tottenham's performance next season. The forecast came shortly after the EPL Secretariat announced its schedule for the 2025-2026 season.

The EPL secretariat confirmed and announced the schedule of a total of 38 rounds and 380 games to be held in the 2025-2026 season. Tottenham, where Son Heung-min is a member of 'so far', will play its league opener against promoted team Burnley at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at 11 p.m. on August 16.

As the first opponent is a team that has just been promoted, it may be considered that the luck of the match is okay. Thomas Frank, who was recently in charge of Tottenham's leadership, including chairman Daniel Levy, will direct the game. Tottenham suddenly replaced coach Enze Postecoglou, who won the UEFA Europa League (UEL) title in the 2024-2025 season, his second year in office, and kept his 'second-year winning jinx'.

It was a great achievement to bring honor to the team for the first time in 17 years by winning the Europa League, but the problem was that they completely gave up their league performance in return. Postecoglou placed his team fifth in the league in the 2023-2024 season, his first season in charge, but in the second season he was no longer able to elevate it from 17th in the league. Instead, it earned the valuable fruits of winning the Europa League.

Although ranked 17th, Tottenham will play in the Champions League next season as the Europa League winner. Encouraged by this, Chairman Levi unanimously dismissed Postecoglou after discussions with Boardjin. At the same time, he revealed to the world his grand aspiration that "our goal is to win both the EPL and the European Champions League".

Strong leadership is essential to win the EPL and Champions League. However, it is questionable whether Frank is worthy of him. Coach Frank has never won a title in his manager's career before. Therefore, there is a lot of criticism about the reason for the replacement of Postecoglou, which chairman Levi said.

Anyway, what is important right now is how good Tottenham can do under Frank. You have to take into account that you have to play both a tight league schedule and a Champions League schedule. Another variable is that Son Heung-min can win in the summer.

In consideration of this, the expected results came out. Wilshire predicted Tottenham's 2025-2026 season. TBR Football said 'Wilshire was asked to make wild predictions about the new season with other experts in an interview with The Sun.

Walsh gave a cold and harsh outlook. Once he expected Arsenal to win the Champions League, he made a ridiculous prediction about Tottenham. Wilshire believes Tottenham, which ranked 17th in the EPL in the 2024-2025 season, will not achieve a very noticeable performance improvement in the new season.

Wilshire, in an absurd prediction for the next season with The Sun, said: "'Arnall will win the Champions League, Tottenham will only win five games.

It is a shocking prospect. Just five wins in 38 rounds in a season means 'demotion'.

In response, TBR Football responded, "'If it were any other time, it would be criticized as a really absurd speculation, but it is convincing because Tottenham ranked 17th last season.'" Tottenham was already one of the worst teams in the EPL last season. In addition, the situation may be difficult to improve because the schedule for next season's Champions League games has become tighter.'

It's the first season Frank leads the team. The team is currently undergoing a complete reorganization according to his preference. Son Heung-min is also quite likely to leave the team in the summer transfer market. In this case, we have no choice but to accept that Tottenham's power has plummeted.

In addition, although chairman Levi trusts him greatly, coach Frank has rarely ranked at the top of the EPL, let alone won the championship. Because of this, Coach Wilshire's prospects no longer sound like 'crazy jokes'. I wonder if Tottenham will be able to avoid relegation and produce meaningful results in the 2025-2026 season.
