With three weeks until Tottenham Hotspur play another Premier League match, the speculation over who will be in dugout come that fixture with Sunderland on April 12 is going to be rife.
Igor Tudor has personal issues to deal with, following the death of his father, and our thoughts go out to him and his family, but it will not stop the chatter around his role as Spurs head coach, with the Lilywhites deep in the relegation mire after another disappointing weekend of football.
Everything looked set up for Spurs to get their season back on track, with an All Together, Always campaign that ran through the club and into the fanbase ahead of the game with Nottingham Forest on Saturday. There was renewed optimism after a draw with Liverpool and a win over Atletico Madrid, but by the 62nd minute at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, that was eradicated.
Names In The Frame To Replace Igor Tudor
Tottenham lost 3-0 in what was a huge relegation six-pointer and with the international break ahead, it leaves a lot of soul-searching in the white half of north London for the next three weeks.
The rumours about Tudor being sacked will grow and grow once more, with plenty of old faces connected with Tottenham being linked with a return - Ryan Mason, Harry Redknapp, Glenn Hoddle etc etc.
And another in the form of Tim Sherwood, who managed the club for half a season in 2013/14, has issued something of a come and get me plea to Spurs.
Speaking on Sky Sports News, he was asked if it was "too late" to save Spurs from relegation to the Championship.
"I don't think it's too late," he said. "I think I would keep them in the Premier League.
"I believe that someone with common sense keeps them in the Premier League. They have the quality to be able to do it. You have to get them feeling good again. You have to get the confidence in the group, and you don't get confidence by playing [Cristian] Romero as a right winger after Xavi Simons just had his best game in the Tottenham shirt against Atletico Madrid and he must be saying, well, what have I done, you're playing someone in my position after I've just done very well'.
Tim Sherwood Tells Tottenham All They Need To Do To Avoid Relegation
"Keep the threats in the team. They have to work hard. They have to still do that dirty work, but [Randal] Kolo Muani played very well [against Atletico], play him, why is he sitting on the bench? Play the players who've got the threats.
"Dominic Solanke and Richarlison will run all day for you, they will chase lost causes. You play a little bit more direct, you come forward together and you go back together, but you need to organise.
"You need to have a nice, solid unit, they need to be organised. It's not complicated. You drill them every single day, 11v11, they know exactly where their positions are. And when Mickey [van de Ven] starts dribbling the ball, you stop him and if Romero is having to burst forward to try and affect it in forward areas, it's because we're not doing something right out there.
"Stay in your positions, keep a clean sheet first and foremost. If you can't win the game, you don't lose it. Keep them organised."
