Manager Igor Tudor

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Maybe some of it was deserved, I mean look at the mess we've ended up in
Well for me it's between him and Sherwood, problem for Sherwood he's made comments about the players/team in the media, so has stupidly diminished his chances.
Would Dyche want an awkward job for 9 matches for a team he has no connection with? I doubt it, so hiring Dyche would mean no Pochettino next season.
But then again I’m guessing, by that logic , Nuno would love to put BOTH us and Forest down .
The computations get complicated pretty quickly once you start factoring these kind of things in .
Matt Law knows that how?
Relegation is worth it to clear out the majority of this squad
Throwing him under the bus before the Liverpool game.
He’s only here to give them time to get a replacement and their coaching staff.
Given we’re probably looking at some kind of Deus ex Machina - type mainlining hit of inspiration and feel good factor ; I’d personally go for Klinsmann over Tim Sherwood 101 times out of a hundred .
( Apologies for the drugs reference) .

Don't worry we'll have that down a few percent by the end of the season.
Tottenham Hotspur players have no faith in Igor Tudor to halt tailspin
Plus, Antonin Kinsky, who was taken off after 17 minutes in horror-show loss to Atletico Madrid, will look to rebuild career away from club
Tottenham Hotspur players have no faith in Igor Tudor, as the club face a critical decision that could have far-reaching consequences beyond the head coach’s future.
Telegraph Sport understands that Tudor, who has overseen four defeats since taking over, including the Champions League debacle against Atlético Madrid on Tuesday night, has failed to bond with his squad.
That leaves Vinai Venkatesham, the chief executive, and Johan Lange, the sporting director, who were responsible for appointing Tudor, having to decide whether to sack him either side of Sunday’s trip to Liverpool and potentially put their own positions under threat.
Just as they recommended the sacking of Thomas Frank and temporary appointment of Tudor to the club’s Lewis family owners, it will come down to Venkatesham and Lange to recommend whether to change head coach again, but the pair are facing scrutiny over their decision-making.
There is a belief around Spurs that Venkatesham and Lange could face difficult questions internally if they are forced to admit they made an error regarding Tudor, or if they stick with him and the situation does not improve.
Tottenham are now all but out of the Champions League and just a point outside the Premier League relegation zone with nine games to play.
While players accept their roles in Tottenham’s demise, they have been shocked by Tudor’s approach and decisions since he replaced Frank on a deal until the end of the season.
Well-placed sources viewed the events in Madrid – where Antonin Kinsky was substituted after 17 minutes, with Tudor failing to acknowledge the goalkeeper as he left the field – as the final straw between the manager and his unhappy players. A source said: “There is hardly anybody, if anybody at all, in that dressing room who has any faith in him.”
Telegraph Sport has been told that Tudor has tried to strike up a relationship with captain Cristian Romero, but he has done little to lift the morale of the group or instil confidence in individuals.
It was pointed out that Tottenham’s players did not give up in Madrid, despite falling 4-0 and 5-1 behind, but it is believed the majority of the squad want to fight for the club, the fans and their own pride – rather than for Tudor.
Tudor’s decision to drop first-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario in favour of Kinsky, who had not played since October, was the latest gamble that blew up in his face.
Tottenham insiders were surprised that Pedro Porro was asked to start as a right-sided centre-back in a back three in the defeat by Crystal Palace, telling Telegraph Sport that the Spaniard was not equipped to play that position.
Some noted that when Tudor was asked in which position forward Richarlison would play ahead of the first-leg thrashing by Atlético, Porro interrupted to joke “centre-back”.
João Palhinha, Conor Gallagher, and Xavi Simons have all been played in unfavoured positions by Tudor before being dropped, while teenager Archie Gray has been moved around the team.
Tudor’s chopping and changing is said to have left players confused, frustrated and feeling disconnected.
It is claimed that Tudor needed to be reminded to inform Vicario that he was going to be replaced by Kinsky ahead of naming the team for the Atlético game, despite the Italian’s status as regular No 1.
Vicario will presumably be needed to start all of Tottenham’s remaining fixtures, given Kinsky’s meltdown, despite Tudor risking upsetting both of his goalkeepers.
Players were understood to be surprised that Tudor did not console Kinsky when he trudged off the pitch in Madrid after being replaced by Vicario. Substitutes Palhinha and Gallagher rushed down the tunnel to offer support.
Tudor’s communication, in private and public, has been a source of discontent. In training, he is said to have adopted a loud, aggressive style from day one, while in public he has repeatedly made his dissatisfaction clear.
Micky van de Ven’s form has dropped since the arrival of Tudor and the Dutchman, who will miss the weekend trip to Liverpool through suspension, said: “It’s a truly terrible time. How am I feeling mentally? It’s tough, I can tell you. Really tough. I have to keep going; this is life. I’m not on my phone anymore; I’m completely done with it. Only family and stuff.”
Venkatesham has been leading Tottenham’s hunt for at least one new sporting director to work within a football leadership structure with Lange.
But pressure is growing on both Venkatesham and Lange over the appointment of Tudor and what happens next. That could place internal scrutiny on their positions.
Mido, the former Tottenham striker, added to the criticism of the running of the club by posting a message on social media, writing: “Whoever appointed Tudor must get the sack cause I’m sure he never watched Juventus under him!! He is one of the worst coaches around! No tactics, no game plan and man to man management 0!! Can’t handle the pressure and can’t deal with the media!! Plz sack him today not tomorrow!! No time for bulls--- anymore... the club doesn’t deserve this s---!!”

2 Centrebacks or 3 that is the question,,,….How many against Liverpool…. Mickey suspended……Danso injured…..Romero concussion……Palhinha concussion……It will be Dragusin + AN other but who?
He watched last night's game?
Maybe if a few more had done the same we wouldn't be in this fucking mess.
Happy clapping fans and media pundits have been a downright curse for years.
According to this webpage he's on the shortlist. Just speculation though.
Jurgen Klinsmann on Tottenham shortlist to replace Igor Tudor, Ryan Mason tipped for coaching role
Igor Tudor may be sacked by Tottenham shortly which could leave Jurgen Klinsmann and Ryan Mason working together in the dugout.
