Manager Igor Tudor

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

So far I saw Sherwood, Sheringham, Dawson, and O'Hara calling for a quick move to sack this guy. Hoddle offered his services, which implies he thinks this Igor hire is not working. Sheringham gave a straight plunt answer "THFC will go down if this guy remains".

These are football people, Tottenham people, and they see what is working and what is not. Still, ENIC either consulting with chimpanzees, or you have to start believing they are doing it on purpose now.
Just being "football people " doesn't mean they're remotely qualified to say this shit.
They work alongside Paul Merson ffs.

They’re right though. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Tudor was meant to come in and make an impact and he’s totally failed to do that. We’ve conceded 9 goals in 3 games and it honestly could have been 15. His tactics are confusing the players. We don’t have many games left, we can’t be giving him time to implement a confusing tactical setup with our half-fit squad.

To stay up we need to simplify our way of playing, get the players smiling and ready to show their best. Not cram them into a mad system and tell them they are all lazy slobs with no brain. This squad will not respond to that, they need less pressure on them not more. The threat of relegation is already heavy enough.

I agree, right now it looks like a disastrous appointment.
But I also don't buy the whole "you need premier league experience" argument, not at all.
Slott, Mourinho, Conte, Ancelotti, all won titles in their very first seasons in charge. Other coaches have come from abroad and been roaring successes. Wenger, Klopp, Pep, won titles having never managed or played here before they arrived.
Vitor Perera kept Wolves up in his first season in the PL.
Christian Gross had no experience at all, yet he arguably kept us up.

The premier league is littered with others who have done absolutely "fine" with no experience.

Unfortunately, there are more with and without experience that have been utter digshit.
 
You talk as if he inherited that team rather than built it and improved players through coaching.

I think we lacked one or two players from achieving much more.

He was hamstrung by ENIC.
Completely hamstrung. A threadbare squad. Getting to a champions league final and competing in the top four with winks and Sissoko, Dier, llorrente, Kane injured. He made a lot of these players look a lot better. Poch couldn’t have done anymore. He was brilliant for us
 
I'm sure our owners are waiting for the Liverpool result Sunday

Re : The above

Everything finally gels for us and we trounce LFC 5 nil and the corner is turned ; Slot will be sacked by them on Sunday evening , Tudor gets the axe , from us , on Monday morning ; and then Slot gets announced by our owners at lunchtime. Only for his work-permit application to be held up for a month .

In this current parallel universe and given our owners’ insanity ; I could actually see it happening .

Which ones are coming back do we reckon.

I’d go for Kudus, Bergvall and Udogie.



Thank goodness Wee ( who doesn’t talk to me anymore btw ) isn’t still doing his caption-competitions* , I’d shudder to think what might get written in Richi’s speech-balloon . Let alone that fella in the middle with the snood and the fancy ear-stud .

Having said that little Xavi seems happy enough in his warm hat and scarf ; probably just been told it’s fish-fingers and steamed kale for lunch . With jelly for afters . And thereafter his time is his own .

* In fact someone should get in touch with him and ask him to start them up again , goodness knows we could do with cheering up .
