Manager Igor Tudor

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I got a bad feeling about this appointment. I feel in simple terms, it immediately decreases public confidence going forward. Well, I mean for spurs fans... Bringing Harry in would have instantly increased confidence!
 
Think it's kinda funny that most people on here wanted a tough, experienced manager that plays attractive football, is renowned for giving squads a kick up the arse and has a rep for specialising in short term gigs.

But cos hes not well known in England its a complete joke of an appointment?

Dont love Tudor but he's a better interim option than about 80-90% of the names ive seen suggested on here. And most of the better ones probably wouldn't come as interims anyway.
Some people just like to complain.

No manager is going to give us a bounce. We need someone who can just play players in their correct position and motivate them.

That’s literally it.
 
People keep bringing up his sacking. Carrick was sacked by Middlesbrough for 18 loses in a season.
Hasn't stopped him reviving United

Let's see what a fresh face and new authority can do first before declaring it's the end of club
 
5 draws and 3 losses in his last 8 games, losses away to Lazio, Como and Real Madrid. Might get a tune out of Muani.
 
It's a risk but Igor only has to find 10/11 points from these 12 fixtures... I've ranked each fixture from 1 - 12 to indicate my view on difficulty with 1st being our easiest game and 12th being our hardest game. I've also done a little write up - enjoy

WOOLWICH - 10th - why not 12th? It's a derby and they are starting to creek... you never know but yeah probably lose
Fulham - 8th - a bit of a bogey team for us and first real test for Igor... a point here could be crucial
PALACE - 3rd - we beat them at Selhurst with Frank so confident we can beat them at home under Igor
Dippers - 11th - we never win at Anfield
FOREST - 4th - they are a bigger shit show than us... another golden opportunity for 3 pts
Sunderland - 7th - they aren't as hot as they were at the start of season but this looks tough
BRIGHTON - 2nd - they look bang in trouble and sinking fast... excellent opportunity for 3 pts
Wolves - 1st - this is our best chance for 3 pts... up there with Derby as worst PL team of all time
Villa - 9th - they have injuries and Europe but they are far better than us
LEEDS - 6th - tough to split Leeds and Everton but put Leeds as more difficult as they might need a point or two
Chavs - 12th - no write up needed
EVERTON - 5th - put them as easier than Leeds as think they'll be on the beach at this point

To summarise

Games 1st to 6th are games we should not be losing... 3 wins 3 draws will be fine
Games 7th to 8th are tough away assignments but if we defend well and get some luck we might get a point
Games 9th to 12th are difficult and probably not getting anything from these

I think our ceiling with a new manager is about 15 points (4 wins and 3 draws)
Our floor is about 8 points (2 wins and a couple of draws)
Middle is about 12 points (3 wins 3 draws)

It'll be tight but confident we stay up...

Game v Forest is the 6-pointer.
