Igor Tudor’s Tottenham Hotspur reign has been nothing short of dismal, and he should be sacked, John Wenham has said.
The Croatian was hired to lead Spurs away from the relegation battle, but so far, he has only dragged them further into it.
His side sits 16th in the Premier League table, just one point above the relegation zone with nine matches left to play.
Tudor’s future at Tottenham has been the subject of much debate, and he could be handed his marching orders if results get worse.

Tudor sack called for amid latest Tottenham shambles
Wenham believes that the evidence so far suggests that Tudor will take Spurs down, and he needs to be dismissed from the post.
Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, he said: “The honest reality is, Tudor has had two home games, he’s overseen a 4-1 defeat to our biggest rivals, that can happen.
“He’s then lost 3-1 at home to Palace, also, we were horrendous at Fulham for large parts of the game and lost, there’s been no new manager bounce whatsoever.
“As I said at the time Tudor was appointed, it was a risk to get somebody who has zero Premier League experience, both in terms of management and also as a player, and so far, you can’t deny that it has backfired awfully.
“We’re desperate for points, and he’s failed with that so far, I’m not surprised he’s under scrutiny and very big scrutiny at that.
“This sounds a bit knee-jerk reaction, I think he needs to go, I don’t think he’s the man that’s going to lead us out of this relegation battle, we needed a new manager bounce, and he isn’t doing that.
“We’re not performing any better, possibly worse, than we were under Thomas Frank, he’s only got 12 games, remember, and three of them have been an absolute disaster.
“On that basis, I would be up for removing him from the role.”
How long can Tudor stay as Tottenham boss?
Tudor cannot surely hang on for much longer if results do not improve, as that would see the club relegated to the Championship.
He probably needs a result from the Liverpool clash on 15 March at the very least to save his job, if speculation is to be believed.
Otherwise, he may well be one of the shortest managerial reigns in Premier League history, with the potential for just four league games managed.
