Former Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Brad Friedel, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast about Igor Tudor's departure: "After the Nottingham Forest game [which Spurs lost 3-0 on 22 March] - although I hate seeing this merry-go-round of managers - I thought it was inevitable."
On what should happen next with the manager's position: "The most important thing is staying in the league. The long-term solution and building can't take place until you know whether you're building from the Championship or the Premier League.
"There aren't a lot of top-quality, long-term, visionary head coaches who would jump into this job right now, unless they had a break clause if they're relegated in the summer. And then is that good for the club, to bring in another manager and then have to release them after seven games?
"You're almost stuck in a position where you have to bring in a short-term replacement."
