Tottenham Hotspur, after previously enjoying such a settled period under Mauricio Pochettino, are almost mirroring the post-Sir Alex Ferguson chaos of Manchester United, now left wondering where to turn after so many failed managerial appointments.
There have been the explosive, brief tenures for the likes of Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, alongside the swift sackings of Premier League-proven figures like Nuno Espirito Santo and Thomas Frank.
All those missteps and mistakes have led the Lilywhites to their current predicament, staring down the barrel of relegation after another car-crash tenure for new interim boss, Igor Tudor.
The question remains as to whether the ENIC regime will stick or twist with the Croatian, heading into the final stretch of the season, with there also the nagging issue of whether the club's long-term targets are willing to be parachuted in immediately.
The latest on Tottenham's manager search
One point from five Premier League games in charge, alongside a 7-5 aggregate loss in the Champions League, has left Tudor on thin ice in north London, with Spurs having gone into the international break following a dismal home defeat to relegation rivals Nottingham Forest.
If ENIC are to make a ruthless decision on the 47-year-old's future, this brief hiatus from club action is the time to do it, with a raft of names having been mooted as potential options in recent days.
Among the frontrunners appears to be ex-Marseille man, Roberto De Zerbi, with reports earlier this week indicating that the Italian would be ready to dive in and lift the club to safety.
That said, contrary reporting has also suggested that the former Brighton and Hove Albion boss would rather wait until the summer, in order to see if the Lilywhites are able to beat the drop.
With regard to the naming of Frank's long-term replacement, ahead of next season, De Zerbi and Mauricio Pochettino appear to be the frontrunners, although they aren't the only contenders.
Indeed, reports earlier this month, as per talkSPORT, suggested that Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner could also be under consideration, with the Austrian having confirmed that he will leave Selhurst Park at the end of the season, upon the expiry of his contract.
The former Eintracht Frankfurt boss has had his own struggles this term in south London, although his work to date shouldn't be ignored, having certainly put himself in the frame for the end of the campaign, if not in the immediate future.
Why Glasner could be an upgrade on De Zerbi
The focus is on replacing Tudor as a priority, but Spurs do also need to look ahead to the summer too, with Glasner a worthy target to pursue, not least considering he will be a free agent.
While De Zerbi might be the glamour name, Glasner would arguably represent something of an upgrade, having proven his credentials when it comes to winning silverware at the elite level.
In contrast to De Zerbi's medal haul, which stands at just a solitary Ukrainian Super Cup with Shakhtar Donetsk, the Palace boss has overseen far more notable successes in his managerial career to date.
Back in Germany, for instance, the 51-year-old defied the odds to lead Frankfurt to Europa League glory in 2022, beating Rangers in the final, after having seen off the likes of Barcelona and West Ham United en route.
Since joining the Eagles in 2024, meanwhile, Glasner has been responsible for arguably the greatest day in the club's history, having beaten Manchester City at Wembley in May to claim Palace's first-ever FA Cup triumph.
That was followed by another showpiece triumph over Liverpool just a few months later in the Community Shield, now boasting a trophy haul in English football that even eclipses Arsenal's Mikel Arteta, leaving pundit Jamie O'Hara to suggest that it is the Austrian who is the "better manager".
It is not out of the question that Glasner's side may also even end the campaign as Conference League winners, having moved into the quarter-final stage, a result that would be another feather in his cap.
Of course, there's no denying that it has been a turbulent season at Selhurst Park, with Glasner drawing criticism from supporters for revealing his intention to leave, but there have been extenuating circumstances.
Indeed, he has been dealt a poor hand following the exits of Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi at crucial junctures of the campaign, while the lack of adequate investment has hamstrung a Palace side now competing on multiple fronts.
Even so, Glasner has still led the Eagles comfortably away from danger, amid all that turmoil, with his settled 3-4-2-1 approach working wonders in recent seasons.
A man with a better trophy record than both De Zerbi and Arteta, despite having never coached a truly giant club, Glasner is deserving of a shot at the big time.
Whether it is now or this summer, he should certainly remain on ENIC's list of leading Frank or Tudor replacements.
