Frank sacked.

Clearly they were worried about relegation then if they stuck it out with Frank.

Timing sucks though, won't get a big name now, so will some interim save them? That's still a huge risk.

Spurs at 29 points, NF at 26 with a game in hand and hammers at 24 in the relegation zone at 18th.

Any other club should be worried about it.

I just can't wrap my head around how Frank was unsuccessful here

Frank...Ange....Nuno....Conte....Mourinho....is it really all that shocking?

Well, touche

I mean I agree, on paper it makes no sense. But here we are lol

Several reasons in my opinion. In no particular order:

1. lack of any semblance of an attack,

2. injuries; long-term: Maddison, Deki, and Solanke, and short-term: Porro, Richarlison, Bentancur, Kudus, Danso, Udogie, Bergvall, Davies.

3.players seemed to give up on him (VdV & Spence brushing him off), Tel wanting to leave in January,

4. fans gave up on him quickly,

5. poor transfer business. Selling your top scorer (when you're struggling to score) and then the bad luck of Kudus getting injured immediately afterward. And not bringing in any attacking help up top?


1 and 2 may be related. If you consider them to be, then the transfer window should have been a high priority.

Igor Tudor agrees to become Spurs' interim manager

meh but that's what i expected just a horrible time to snag a coach for longterm and short term options are limited and meh.

Obv I hope it works and we stave off relegation to bring Pochettino back in summer after WC.

Did he ever really have the full Spurs roster to work with?

Bruh that was a major flop by Gabriel.

The loss was disappointing, but expected. I thought we came out with a lot of fight, but to hold them off for the full 90 minutes was just not going to happen. That being said, I think it would have been a different game if that second goal isn't waved off. And if Richy's header crosses the line to make it 3-3, even more so. But If ifs and buts were candy and nuts...

I think all we really know after this game was that the gap between us and Arsenal is as wide as we thought it was. We'll know more after Fulham next Sunday.

Ridiculous that the pundits are saying Igor Tudor now realizes the size of the job he has. Unless he has been living in a cave, he would know how poor Spurs have been and how good Arsenal has been.

At Fulham this Sunday. We haven't scored there in our last 2 games, so we need to end the drought. They play a relatively high line, so maybe we can get in behind them with a long ball that we kept playing over and over against Arsenal last week.

VAR is a joke. Goal one week, no goal last week. Unbelievable.

That's the one thing I think all of the fans here can agree on

Prepare for relegation. It's coming. There is no saving this joke.

I've already adopted Bayern Munich. Don't care if it's bandwagon jumping and at least it's not an EPL team.

Loosely follow Wrexham too - at least it's a good story. Hell they may make it to EPL before Tottenham gets back.

If we stay up, its because the teams below us are also awful and don't have enough games to scrape together enough points to surpass us. Sad to say. West Ham's remaining schedule is very tough.

If we stay up, we must overhaul the team so we're not in this position for a third straight season.

Well here we go... 1 point clear of relegation line currently and playing CP at home.

DO OR DIE

Madness. Have to get points from this game and forest.

VDV with a straight red in the 38th minute for DOGSO. Went from 1-0 to 1-3.

Shocker. We might be going down.

Leading 1-0 then a red card..... toast

Incredible that a top 6/7 payroll team will get relegated.

And that means no Poch.

Poof. Everything is gone.

Also incredible that top referees no longer know how to function without radios and microphones. So ridiculous

I think someone mentioned it earlier in this thread but if we go down, there's no coming back up. I don't trust a single soul in that building to put anything competent together to gain promotion again.

I disagree, the club has too much value and would attract serious investment. It really would be a sleeping giant.

I mean...I would love to be wrong but it feels like a yo-yo situation at best

I think I saw something that Poch would still be open to coming back, even if we get relegated, but he wouldn't accept a reduction of his salary requirements. So never mind, you're right, that probably means no Poch.

Atletico Madrid on Tuesday in the first leg of our UCL round of 16 with them.

Wish I'd never thought of the perfect storm of winning the UCL and getting relegated. Now it's all I have to live for.

I don't think either will happen.
