tottenham hotspur Igor Tudor is reportedly considering what kind of brutal decision he would make ahead of a showdown with his rivals crystal palace exist Premier League Thursday.
Tottenham fighting for relegation after disastrous Premier League season
Tudor arrived at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in February as the club’s second manager following a disastrous campaign, handing interim reins to Tottenham after Thomas Frank was sacked after just eight months in the job.
The Croatian’s arrival is meant to provide an immediate shot in the arm and halt Spurs’ run of 10 games without a win in the Premier League until 2026. So far, everything hasn’t gone as planned.
Tudor comes to N17 with fearsome reputation as firefighter He saved the first few seasons of several Serie A clubs, including Lazio and Juventus.
However, under the leadership of the tactician, instead of getting better, things got worse.
The 4-1 defeat to Arsenal sounded embarrassing, while the 2-1 loss to Fulham didn’t suggest the newcomer had any answers.
The team’s performance was listless, the defense was worrisome and the goals had dried up towards the end of the season.
Spurs are currently just four points above the relegation zone at the end of the game. The club that won the Europa League less than a year ago under Ange Postecoglou are now fighting a real battle for their top-flight survival.
The contrast is striking.
To compound the problem, Fabio Paratici returned from a long FIFA ban in October but left Fiorentina in February with little time to make an impact before departing.

Against all this backdrop and the real turmoil in north London, Thursday’s home clash with Crystal Palace takes on huge significance – and not just in terms of the standings.
Tottenham consider Igor Tudor’s brutal decision ahead of clash with Crystal Palace
According to a report from Match Day Central X (ex-Twitter), Tudor’s position could depend entirely on the result against Crystal Palace.
The club’s board are clearly shocked by his performance since taking over and their patience is rapidly wearing thin.
Tudor’s clear expectation is that he can turn things around quickly. But that didn’t happen.
Reports suggest Thursday’s win could buy him more time. If three points are missing, the club may decide another change is necessary – even if chaos inevitably ensues.
Even by Tottenham’s recent standards, this would be an extraordinary situation. Sacking a third manager in 12 months with just 10 games remaining, while also battling relegation and seeking a permanent appointment, would be a disruption the club cannot afford – both financially and reputationally.
The palace is not something that can be dealt with easily.
Oliver Glasner’s side will arrive at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with some confidence after winning three of their last six games and handing Manchester United a good game in their last outing.
