Igor Tudor's position as Tottenham head coach is under major threat with the club's hierarchy facing another defining decision.
So what can Spurs do next to stop the slide?
Stick with Igor Tudor?
Tudor, after four successive defeats, actually inspired improvement from Spurs in a deserved draw at Liverpool before beating Atletico Madrid â albeit in a losing Champions League cause â but normal service was resumed with the humiliating loss to Forest.
Do those in charge of Spurs really believe Tudor has the ability to pull them out of the mire â or do they acknowledge they made a serious error and it is time for another change?
Send for former Spurs firefighter?
This is the biggest dilemma CEO Vinai Venkatesham and his fellow power brokers face as they work on a strategy before their next Premier League game, away to Sunderland on 12 April.
It might be one thing to decide Tudor has to go, should they chose to make that change, but who can realistically step in for what is now a firefighting job?
Former manager Harry Redknapp has indicated his willingness to return, but is now 79 and has not worked in management since being sacked by Birmingham City in May 2017.
Spurs legend Glenn Hoddle has also suggested he would be interested, but once again this would be a dip into the distant past
Ryan Mason is a well-respected and popular figure having twice served as Spurs' caretaker manager but his reputation took a hit after being sacked by West Brom.
Tim Sherwood, the former player who left Spurs in May 2014 after a six-month spell as permanent head coach, has made it clear he fancies the job while Robbie Keane, currently at Ferencvaros in Hungary, falls into the category of the younger up-and-coming manager.
Should Spurs make big move now?
Should they throw caution to the winds and try to bring in a full-time appointment now to save their season from the ignominy of relegation?
Mauricio Pochettino would top a fan poll as the permanent successor to Thomas Frank â the Argentine still a much-loved figure after taking Spurs to the 2019 Champions League Final.
If Spurs are to seek an immediate full-time appointment, this leaves Roberto de Zerbi as frontrunner. The talented but combustible Italian established a fine reputation at Brighton and is available having left Marseille by mutual consent in February.
Any other takers?
Sean Dyche's name has inevitably been linked after a good body of work fighting against the odds while Austrian coach Adi Hutter is a rank outsider after being sacked by Monaco in October.
