On Friday, Tottenham finally took the plunge and announced that Ange Postecoglou had been sacked from his position as head-coach of the north London club.
The decision was made just weeks after the manager became the first to deliver silverware to Spurs in 17 years - and the first European trophy in over 40 years. And it's safe to say it has not proved a popular one with fans.
Despite leading Spurs to their worst Premier League campaign in history, the Australian gained a hefty amount of goodwill from the fans and players alike with his no-nonsense backing of his team and pursuit of glory.
The club mentioned in the statement following the sacking that they were not willing to base their decision on "emotions aligned to this triumph". However, the players' reactions to the news said it all about how highly regarded the 59-year-old is among the squad.
The decision has proved highly divisive, especially with regard to what comes next for the club. Previously, Spurs have moved quickly in this regard: Jose Mourinho was appointed just days after Mauricio Pochettino was removed from his post.
The strongest links so far seem to be to Brentford manager Thomas Frank, but is he the right man to lead the club to more silverware and also improve upon their league campaign? We asked Spurs fans a range of questions following Postecoglou's exit, and the message to Daniel Levy was emphatic.
Of the 3,683 respondents, a whopping 65% said sacking Postecoglou was the wrong decision. Meanwhile, 21% disagreed, saying it was definitely the right choice while 14% were not sure.
An overwhelming 84% said that the decision had taken too long, however, with plenty of criticism directed at the board in recent weeks. Waiting this long to remove Postecoglou and appoint a successor has seen Spurs fail to complete any action so far in the transfer market, while the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea have already got players through the door.
And then we come to who will replace Postecoglou. The people's favourite is former Spurs boss Pochettino with 34% of the vote - though he has ruled himself out of the running- as he gears up to lead the United States of America to next summer's World Cup.
Frank is the next choice among fans, gathering 17% of the popular vote. Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner picked up 9% while former Barcelona boss Xavi clocked in at 7%. Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has previously been linked, but only got 4% of the vote, the same as ex-England head coach Gareth Southgate.
