Igor Tudor sack now inevitable at Tottenham, this is when it will happen

Igor Tudor may be afforded just four Premier League games as Tottenham manager.

Tottenham’s 3-1 defeat against Crystal Palace was hardly unexpected; in fact, it was actually quite surprising that Spurs had the character to score the first goal in the game.

However, what the result has done is increase their chances of relegation tenfold, with just nine games left to be played in the Premier League.

Spurs sit just one point above the bottom three after West Ham secured victory against Fulham, with pressure piling on Tudor already after three straight defeats.

Tottenham cannot afford to be relegated from the Premier League, and they could be set to take even more drastic decisions to avoid it.

This is when Tottenham will sack Igor Tudor

I say ‘when’ as opposed to ‘could’ for a reason.

Tudor has not improved on anything since he took over from Thomas Frank, and it feels almost certain that he won’t be in the job until the end of the campaign.

In fact, he may well find himself out of a job by next weekend, which is when Spurs travel to face Liverpool at Anfield.

You’d have to be in a world of your own to have any faith in the North Londoners picking up a point there, and should that be the case, there is every chance that Tottenham will find themselves in the bottom three.

Nottingham Forest face Fulham in a winnable encounter that weekend, while West Ham are at home to Manchester City, with plenty of momentum behind them.

And if Spurs are to find themselves in the relegation zone, Tudor will almost certainly be out the door in an instant.

Tottenham have clear hire to make after Igor Tudor

Mauricio Pochettino would unite everyone at Tottenham if he were to return, but let’s face it, that isn’t happening, and if it does, it certainly won’t be until the summer.

But another option remains Robbie Keane.

The former Spurs striker knows what this club means to its fans, and that is something that has been lacking in both Tudor and Frank, hence the dramatic regression.

Tottenham need someone who understands the supporters and the expectations in North London, and Keane would certainly be the best bet to achieve that.

Would he be willing to take the job? Who knows. But it should be a question that is already being asked.
