We are witnessing history and, whether we like it or not, that is the reality. Tottenham is living through the worst moment in its history and, if they get relegated, we are talking about one of the biggest events in football, not just in England. The ninth highest revenue club in the world getting relegated? Complete chaos, where managers come and go and nothing changes, players come and go and nothing changes. Living through history isn’t 100% positive, but it is always relevant, whether people like it or not. Maybe it’s a wake-up call for football, showing that money alone isn’t everything.
Does Tottenham have a solution? Because they haven’t won a single Premier League game since the start of 2026, there is no improvement and today, even statistically, despite not being bottom, they are the worst team in the English top division. How do you reverse this situation? Thomas Frank seemed like a good option, he was appointed and what did he actually do? Nothing. They took too long to sack him and brought in Igor Tudor, who is said to have that “magic role” of stopping the bleeding and doing what’s needed to prevent teams from sinking further. But what has he done at Tottenham so far? Technically and statistically, this Tottenham under Tudor is the worst club in the top division. It doesn’t get worse than this, there is no lower point. This is rock bottom.
It has now been reported that Tudor could leave Tottenham, it’s not confirmed at the time of writing, but who is the solution to stop a wound that not even a “first responder” could fix? In my opinion, it should be Sean Dyche. Rustic, direct, ugly football, but that is exactly what Tottenham needs right now. Leaving a game with one point is already a win for this Tottenham. Tudor didn’t work, sack him, bring in someone who doesn’t care about playing pretty, grind out draws and hope that West Ham, who are also in a terrible phase, don’t pick up enough points to overtake them.
It has also been said that De Zerbi is willing to take over Tottenham, but only next season, and only if the club stays in the Premier League. And yes, that may sound great, even though he is also somewhat limited by his own philosophy, but that’s a discussion for the future. Why are people already assuming survival when they only have one point and a manager who clearly doesn’t know what to do?
I’ve heard many people say they want Tottenham to go down, and I understand it, but I don’t agree. A club with this much money and impact shouldn’t be in this situation and, at the same time, maybe relegation would be the shock needed to open their eyes. I don’t agree with rooting for disaster, but I understand those who do.
Conclusion
Tottenham already have a verbal agreement with De Zerbi for next season, but they cannot keep Igor Tudor until the end of this one. If that happens, De Zerbi won’t even arrive, because the club will be relegated. Tottenham need someone like Sean Dyche to steady the ship: ugly, defensive football, grind out draws and hope for the best. Because honestly, there’s nothing more to expect from what we’ve already seen under Igor Tudor.
