Joe Cole has issued a very alarming warning to Tottenham based on a conversation he’s had with a commentator about head coach Igor Tudor.
The Croatian has overseen two defeats so far as the Tottenham head coach, with a thrashing at the hands of Arsenal coming before defeat against Fulham at the weekend.

Crystal Palace come to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday, with Tudor firmly under pressure to revive things for Spurs in the coming weeks and lead them away from the relegation zone.
Now, Joe Cole has shared what a top commentator has told him about Tudor, and it looks like a massive concern for Tottenham supporters.
Joe Cole makes worrying Tottenham claim involving Igor Tudor
The appointment of Tudor came somewhat surprisingly with Tottenham choosing to make a change following indifferent form under the management of Thomas Frank.
Cole has claimed on The Dressing Room podcast that a renowned commentator has told him that he wouldn’t have picked Tudor in the top 100 for potential Tottenham candidates to replace Frank in the short term.
He said: “Igor Tudor got brought in, and one of the commentators who’s said to me he’s well-versed in these situations. He said, and he knows European football inside out.

“He said, “I promise you if you’d have said to me, give me a hundred names, I wouldn’t have been able to pick Igor Todor in the top hundred for Spurs.
“You take Daniel Levy out the equation six months ago who’ve done every decision. So the decision-making process is somewhere else now and I’m looking at that Igor Tudor decision and thinking – he’s got no Premier League experience. He doesn’t have a strong relationship with the players. I don’t think he’s managed many of the players. Not a massive reputation, I don’t know where the logic is behind it?”
Tudor needs to fix up sharpish
Tottenham desperately need to beat Crystal Palace.
The Eagles will arrive in form that is patchy at best, and it’s a good chance for Tottenham to pick up three points and pull closer to a team higher up the Premier League table.

Cole’s comments over what he’s been told by the commentator in question is a cause for concern and it doesn’t appear that the players have bought into his methods just yet either.
Tottenham are getting pretty perilous towards the relegation zone and the challenge for Tudor is to ignore any noise over his own future and focus on reviving the club.
