Manager sacking
Tottenham might be going down, but if they are, they'll be doing it without Igor Tudor because Spurs have decided to sack the man who's only been in charge for a matter of weeks.
It was a mistake to bring in Igor Tudor at the time. We wondered where it had come from. The fact that he had been linked with the job taking over from Thomas Frank, things were pretty bad at Spurs, but since he's come in, they've got even worse.
I think it goes down as a pretty big own goal at a crucial time of the season. To give that sort of hard-nosed, big, aggressive Balkan guy the keys to the castle at that time... it was just a massive, massive risk.
Manager search
We'll go on to talk about later in the pod who Spurs want allegedly as their new manager to replace Igor Tudor in the summer, which is Roberto De Zerbi.
De Zerbi left Brighton because he fell out with Tony Bloom the owner about the transfer policy. If there's one club you're going to fall out with over signing players, is it not probably Tottenham?
I don't think Spurs can afford to fall out with their next manager because if they do, they're going to fall even further from grace.
Relegation battle
Spurs are six weeks from being relegated from the Premier League, and that is, outside Leicester winning the league, that's the biggest shock in Premier League history.
A team that finished 17th last season is still 200-1 to go down. Gosh, we should have had the foresight there, shouldn't we, boys? The writing was on the wall.
Club crisis
The blame doesn't stop at Tudor leaving. It's deep-rooted, this disease that's going on in Spurs right now. When you're finishing 16th, 17th and then you're replicating that exact form the next season, that's not a coincidence.
Club form
They've won two out of the last 29 games, or sorry, five out of the last 29 games. It's absolutely just stupid.
