'Wary of an emotional appointment' - fans on Tudor's potential successor

Yahoo Sports

[BBC] [BBC] Here are some more of your views on Igor Tudor's Tottenham exit and who you want to be appointed as his successor: Steven: Igor Tudor's departure is the right call, though it's hard not to feel some sympathy for him given the nightmarish circumstances. He inherited a squad depleted by injuries and a team already in a downward spiral. However, with the club now sitting just one point above the drop zone, we couldn't afford to wait for a turnaround that didn't look likely to materialise.

With seven games left, we need a decisive appointment - someone who can command the dressing room immediately and inspire a squad that looks completely bereft of confidence. Charles: Tudor was a high-risk appointment by the management which has left Spurs in a very vulnerable position. Let's please hope for Sean Dyche - a pragmatic manager with heaps of experience at the lower levels of the Premier League and a decent, empathetic man who will surely get the best out of a team wholly lacking in confidence.

Sebastian: They should get Ryan Mason, Robbie Keane and Harry Redknapp in to try to sort this mess out. Dave: Just seemed to be a desktop/spreadsheet-based appointment by the obviously highly able football experts who run the club, which was always doomed to fail. We needed, and need ( though too late, I think), a battle-scarred Premier League savvy, survival expert.

While I'm up for, say, a Spursy Tim Sherwood/Robbie Keane ticket, I recall the experience of Alan Shearer not being able to keep Newcastle up a few years ago, so am wary of an emotional appointment. Julie: When are people going to realise that keeping on sacking managers is ridiculous. It's the players that need sacking, not the managers.

Any decent manager should stay away from this club and the fans are just as bad for keeping on asking for managers to be sacked. Tottenham have won nothing. Mervyn: Who should manage Spurs until the end of the season?
