Tottenham: fans call for Igor Tudor to be replaced

The pressure is already mounting on Igor Tudor at Tottenham. Having only just arrived on the Spurs bench, succeeding Thomas Frank, the Croatian manager is enduring a rocky start to his tenure after three straight defeats, notably against Arsenal, Fulham, and Crystal Palace. This negative streak has quickly sparked frustration among a section of the supporters, as the London club is currently battling to move away from the relegation zone.

With 14 defeats recorded this season and only a one-point cushion above the drop zone, fans are growing increasingly concerned. During the loss to Crystal Palace, the tense atmosphere at the stadium was palpable, with several supporters leaving the stands even before the start of the second half.

On the show The Final Word on talkSPORT, some fans didn't hide their skepticism regarding the appointment of the Croatian tactician. One of them confessed: "If we sacked him and brought in a third manager, it would be humiliating. But what's worse, relegation? I'd say call Sean Dyche and get him in right now."

Other voices are also calling for the team to be handed over to former club icons in a bid to salvage the season. Another supporter declared: "I wouldn't have appointed him in the first place, I don't see any changes so far. So for one last chance, give it to someone else—I'm not necessarily saying Harry, because he's starting to get on a bit. I'm thinking, why not bring in Glenn Hoddle or Tim Sherwood? They have Tottenham DNA, they understand the club, and they'll give it a go—we've got nothing left to lose."

Despite the protests, some pundits are urging patience. Former manager Alan Pardew believes Igor Tudor hasn't yet had enough time to implement his methods, reminding everyone that there are still nine matches to play before the end of the season.

In this tense atmosphere, Tottenham will need to turn things around quickly, with crucial fixtures looming—including a Champions League clash with Atlético Madrid and a Premier League showdown against Liverpool. This run of games could prove decisive for Igor Tudor's future at the helm of the London club.
