Igor Tudor has perfect track record as interim manager
Udinese (April 2018): Successfully saved the club from relegation in just 4 games.
Hellas Verona (September 2021): Replaced Eusebio after only three matches. He transformed a struggling side& finishing a good 9th in Serie A.
Juventus (March 2025): Replaced Thiago Motta mid-season to salvage a top-four CL finish.
Lazio (March 2024): Replaced Sarri . He stabilized the defense and finished with 1.91 points-per-game (PPG) average over 11 matches- narrowly missed out on the top six.

I do worry about that more than the two Germans. Would rather even Heitinga take the job than Tudor.
Just typed in Terzic into YouTube and the first video that came up was one of those Masterclass things Frank did - almost gave me PTSD.
Decent talker, more likeable and charismatic than Frank (naturally). Remember he was often described as a very passionate, emotional manager, for better or worse, at Dortmund and thst comes across.
Seems there was some whole culture war over Terzic in the Dortmund fan-base so sounds like he'll fit right in. Definitely sounds more defensively minded than Rose. Fans say he was great in cups but iffy in the league, especially as time went on. Can set up a great defence but struggles to break teams down and attacking can be stodgy. Better without the ball, great in transition but struggles with in-game changes.
Sounds like a better version of Frank tbh. They seem to all love him as a bloke though. Seems like a super passionate die-hard fan they really related to. But he did fall out with some of their legends.
Sounds like he could be a messy appointment but certainty better than Frank.

Him being totally new to the English game is what worries me though.
Didn’t RKM have his purple patch under Tudor?
Trying to find anything to make me feel better about this one.

Yeah. I think that a lot of people reacting negatively to Tudor don't really know much about his career.
This is what he does.
Beggars cant be choosers
So are we....

Tbh I think it depends on how the coach goes about things but it might be that Poch was the last coach in the Prem to step up from lower level club to bigger club …
But tbh we were a middle class club when Poch got to us. He, ironically, probably made it harder for any coach to follow his footsteps at Spurs by leading us to becoming a big club
So in November Paratici said get rid of Frank and bring in Tudor. We said no leading to Paratici going back to Italy and us keeping Frank. 4 months later Paratici gone, Franks taken us into a relegation battle and been sacked now we're appointing the bloke Paratici wanted back in November. The cunts at the top haven't got a fucking clue
We wint get relegated but i dont think tudor steers the ship might win the wolves and leeds game from our remanining fixtures cant see anywhere else
Rather that than a back 5 only manager when we have Romero suspended for the next month and Danso out
Imagine if tudor does well and we fall for the permanant role because when juve did that they sacked him
Did any of those teams need to change from overly defensive and pragmatic to a more progressive and ambitious team offensively?
Is that what he does? Or is he a Serie A Sean Dyche?
The idea of an interim makes me sick to be honest.. In theory it should be fine.
But I don't see a scenario where a manager comes in, keeps us up and then we part ways and look for someone who's a better fit long term.
One of two things will happen. These players, who decided from day one that they weren't having Frank, will think the same about this one considering they only need to put up with him for 3 months. And then we're down.
Or we pick up a couple of wins.. And there's a moronic clamour for him to get the job full time.
And if you think. "Oh no that won't happen".. Just look around. The bar for interims to have that kind of "give him the job" pr behind them is getting lower and lower. Carrick was getting it after 2 wins with Man Utd.. Mason was having it from some during his last spell with us because he drew 2-2 at home to Man Utd

That's kinda what Tudor does.
His entire football mantra is "be aggressive and attack".
I agree but it seems they hedging their bets on poch good or bad
