Manager Igor Tudor

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Yeah, I'd love their to be a study to work out why Frank failed so badly at Spurs, but there won't be, so we are just left with using our own intuition and some common sense.

He simply doesn't have the personality, and lacked charisma to manage a big club. It's as simple as that. He's nerdy like you say, a lovely guy, but that's just the issue, when you think of Frank you think, yeah lovely guy. But you don't think, born winner, charismatic, a leader of men.

I just don't think he really knew how to do anything than keep being a nice guy and hoping it would all work out.

The lack of discipline in the squad, and time keeping etc showed that they didn't respect Frank. Then on top of that, you have his style of play, too much time focused on stopping the opposition, and you can see why the players didn't take to him.

If you are someone like Romero, it's easy to see why you would find someone like Tudor, who has played for Juventus at the highest level, a club you also have an affinity to, much more relateable and a man to respect, than Frank.

It's just the way it is. Yeah we can think the players are idiots, but ultimately a managers job is to get the best out of the players, and get them onside and performing.

Also takes a pretty exceptional guy who wasn't a good player, to be a good manager IMO.

These fucking pricks...... Igor had been here about a week and already he can see the blatant bias and corruption that exists in the PGMOL and league.

Fuck them - I wish the club would come out and say "We fully support Igor Tudor in his stand against the PGMOL and will cover any fines he recieves"


It's precisely this reason that reffing standards are so appallingly bad - they never have to answer for their mistakes and they bully anyone who speaks out against them.

And the refs can chicken out of making a decision by involving VAR!

Doesnt need to be a study really, they sacked an alpha who the players admired and hired a beta.

Bang on!
 
Still fuming over the nerve of these freaks charging Tudor. After all the inconsistent decisions they've screwed us with you'd think they'd back off but no they want to double down. Narcissistic freaks.

I'm worried about Oliver this weekend. He's mr PGMOL and isn't afraid of controversy. In fact he loves it! He's going to want to give a big decision against us this weekend to see if Tudor reacts the same. Its so obvious what they are doing. Disgusting pricks.

I'd be willing to invade the pitch and stop the game if Oliver starts acting up. I'm not having anymore of this. They are overstepping the mark now

I think a lot of it was players were unfit and dejected. Igor inherited a broken team.

I still don’t know if we will get relegated or not but I do have a strong sense from now on in we will play like a football team and we will fight.

Frank should have been sacked in December or before. The only reason we are in a proper mess is Vinai/Lange tried to keep a guy totally out of his depth in a job.

Yes and they must both be sacked in the summer for that reason.
 
Just read Sutton's predictions for the weekend.

I see they're really running with the story that Tudor mistook our bald guy for Liverpool's bald guy...

He will try and make the game about him like he always does. Thats our biggest problem.
 
So Tudor has been charged for calling out the match fixing.

Out of interest, can the "authorities" charge anyone?
If there was enough publicity, can they charge Sky Sports? Can they charge Youtubers? Can they charge me for saying that refs are as bent as 9 bob notes?

Fuck them.


Keep saying it.

The club should have an expense budget. Pay the fines in order to say the truth.
If he's banned from the touchlines, so fucking what.
He's not a player. It's 2026, he can communicate with a colleague to get his points across.
