Manager sacking
Tottenham have announced that they've sacked Igor Tudor after just seven games in charge. He took just the single point from his five Premier League games. They sit 17th in the table, just one point outside the relegation zone with seven games to play.
Tottenham crisis
It does feel like it is just another desperate act by Tottenham in a season that has turned into a proper crisis for them. It feels a little bit like they're thrashing around in the deep water, desperately trying to cling on to some part of the wreckage that's going to keep them afloat.
Manager search
My understanding is they would like to appoint Roberto De Zerbi as permanent head coach and he would be at the very top of their list. He would be open to replacing Igor Tudor, but only at the end of the season, i.e. when he knows what league they're going to be playing in.
I've heard that it is almost a case of all possibilities are being considered, including some really radical options. It is almost that they're thinking of any port in a storm.
Relegation battle
For Tottenham Hotspur to be in the championship, but also for that stadium to be a championship venue, is, for the club, absolutely unthinkable.
Club management
It takes over a decade maybe longer to build something up at a football club and it takes less than two years of bad decisions to break it all down.
Tottenham ownership
I don't think there's any possible way that they would be in this situation if Daniel Levy was still pulling on the purse strings.
Tactical analysis
It was a really strange decision to take out your number one who has been struggling this season in a Champions League match away from home and make the change after 17 minutes. You've not only upset the number one, you've now upset the number two who is going to be low on confidence.
Fan sentiment
I would definitely maybe call Harry [Redknapp]. I really do think Harry needs to be the man, but I also think maybe Pochettino should just come home and I think we should go and get him now.
