Tottenham Hotspur

[FCBarça]

Wolves is a much tougher game now than before Christmas. They are top half in the current form table. There are no easy games when you are in a relegation battle, especially not with Spurs recent form.

With Wolves assured of relegation and nothing to play for to avoid it, I would always bet on the opponent

 

[FCBarça]

They play on 25th April.

Are you sure you’re not using AI?

I had looked quickly but saw both Spurs & West Ham play them in April but, for me, the point still stands - relegated side is unlikely to be considered a tough fixture when there is no way out

I think your analysis needs a firmer grounding.

They've been assured of relegation for months now and are still beating teams.

I’m not sure he got sacked as such.

More a case of his dad dying tragically proved a way out for both him and the club.

Do you think if his dad hadn’t died he’d still be spurs manager ?

 

[MikeH72]

I don't watch them to know how they are but know football enough to realize that the last match of the season when there is nothing to play for can't truly be considered a tough fixture IMHO

What are you talking about mate? Spurs play us on the last game of the season.

 

[EverEverton]

Prefer to play at the Tottenham staduim or Wembley than at Burnley or some other small stadium

yes, they don't appear to have any kind of a plan whatsoever

Prior to getting to spanked by Forest, they`d played well and showed real fight in their previous two games, against the RS and Atletico - no one expected them to get any kind of result against the RS, so it`s very hard to say really, as there wasn`t anything really coming out of the club to indicate that they were thinking of letting him go.

I agree on the no plan part but i
Think if Tudor hadn’t suffered a bereavement I think he’d have been gone by the Monday after .

I do agree those running the club are staggering from crisis to crisis having initially had the plan to ignore any relegation issues . I said a few weeks ago this attitude which is shared by the fans is exactly why they’re right in the middle of this battle .

We played Newcastle in our last game last season. We had nothing to play for and they were desperate to get into the Champions League. We won 1 - 0 at SJP.

I think the RS result, who were awful by the way , & the atletico result gave his some respite when the talk was before the league game at the pit a big loss and he was gone .

Spurs had a must win game against forest and they lost it fairly spectacularly. I personally think Tudor would have gone within 24 hrs , the international break giving them time to have that decision start to impact .

Even if I look at your premise and say they didn’t want him to go and it’s a ‘dignified ‘ exit they presumably knew he was going earlier than yesterday so how isn’t there a manager lined up ? At the very least someone who is top of their list . We’ve seen enough managerial appointments to know that no strong media stories or quotes and a couple of managers at 6/4 means no formal approach to anyone . I find that staggering

Or they've gone hells bells for someone that initially sounded keen and has suddenly noticed how desperate they are and is now asking a fortune...

I agree mate, it looks like they`ve gone all or nothing on De Zerbi.

The problem with that as I see it, is that if he says no, they`re pretty much in " Dyche " territory and he`d have a very strong bargaining position, for his reported demands of a contract that includes next season too.

If that happened, they may as well as just give the whole lot up front, as theres` no way he`d be at Spurs next season, regardless of whether they stayed up or went down.

Roberto De-Zerbi styles his hair like those kids in the late 90’s who used to wear those Thrasher hoodies with the flames on them.
