Kevin Campbell believes Nuno Espirito Santo is going to be sacked by Tottenham at the end of this season because he will not get them inside the top six.
The Athletic revealed earlier in the month that Tottenham has a clause in his current deal that would see them sack him at the end of this season without compensation if they finish outside the top six.
With this in mind, Campbell thinks the former Wolves’ boss is playing a losing game and they will boot him out of the club at the end of this campaign because his team will not make the Europa League places.
The former Arsenal star believes Tottenham’s form and that of the clubs around them will see them struggle to end this season in at least the 6th position on the league table.
He believes the Lilywhites need continuity and faults their constant changing of managers, but also knows Daniel Levy will only do what he feels is best for the club.
Campbell told Football Insider: “I don’t think they will get top six.
“When you look at the teams around them, their form and the fact that they didn’t finish in the top six last season – it doesn’t bode well. Yes, they have finished their previously but this league is relentless. Teams are strengthening left, right and centre. Anyone can beat anyone so it is not a given.
“Wouldn’t this just be typical. They don’t finish in the top six, he’s trying to build something and they get rid of him for somebody else. That would be typical.
“You need continuity sometimes. Daniel Levy is Daniel Levy though. He is going to do what he wants.
“There seems to be a lot of issues at that football club. What is going on behind those corridors?”
