We asked for your views on Tottenham appointing Igor Tudor as interim manager until the end of the 2025-26 season.

Here are some of your comments:

Mark: Was his name pulled out of hat from the job centre? Oh dear, hardly the lift needed!

Paul: No Premier League experience, middling success. Struggling to see how this will "unite the fanbase", which is essential in keeping us up. Hope I'm wrong.

Ian: Igor who?? Good luck! he'll need it. It will take an enormous change in mood and tactics to advance up the league and a miracle to get players fit.

Andy: What? Well, let's hope this unknown manager with no big reputation, no Premier League experience or any Spurs DNA has a few amazing magic coaching tricks and tactical manoeuvres up his sleeve, otherwise we are doomed.

Jasmine: How low can this management team keep destroying a once GREAT club? Never heard of the man but looking at the last sacking he got, he should fit in well seeing he was sacked for losing eight games on the trot. Tottenham needs relegation to get rid of the owners!

David: Hardly an inspiring choice given his winless record in his last eight games before he was sacked - clearly buying time till end of season. Pochettino in the summer a must but if we're relegated... would he come?

Peter: Was not expecting his name but if the players want an interim they have an interim. Igor Tudor is a well-known manager, but his recent interim and then permanent spell at Juventus ended with an extensive winless run. I do think, however, he will walk into that dressing room with a class suit and just get going. If we can salvage yet another shocking season, then maybe we put his name on our Wall of Fame because this has been horrible if you like it or not.

Simon: It's an extraordinary appointment. I'd love to think that our fans will give the new manager time, but I suspect they'll start booing as soon as we are put under pressure in his first game - the NLD - and this will only get louder if we concede. How is someone with no connection with the club and no fit players meant to build some positivity with fans with the run of games we face? However good Tudor may be, the club have given him an impossible challenge.
