The writing appeared firmly on the wall for Igor Tudor at Tottenham after Sunday's humbling at the hands of Nottingham Forest. A comprehensive 3-0 defeat—courtesy of strikes from Igor Jesus, Morgan Gibbs-White and Taiwo Awoniyi—has prompted the club's hierarchy to make a decisive move.

According to reports from a prominent social media account boasting over 700,000 followers and comprising five elite reporters, the decision to dispense with Tudor came during the match itself. The moment Forest struck their third goal, Spurs' fate was sealed, with one official reportedly declaring in the directors' box: "This can't carry on. We can't go down. It will be a disaster."

Tudor's tenure has been nothing short of calamitous since taking over from Thomas Frank earlier in the year. His record reads: one victory, one draw, and five defeats from seven matches. Sunday's capitulation sees Tottenham slip to 17th in the Premier League table, now two points adrift of Forest, though they retain a one-point cushion over West Ham in the drop zone.

Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has reportedly been approached to assume temporary control until the campaign concludes. The veteran manager, it's understood, has made his availability known to the club.

Danny Murphy, the former Spurs midfielder, articulated what many supporters are feeling. Speaking on Match of the Day, Murphy declared it "impossible" for Tudor to continue, citing the poisoned atmosphere surrounding the club. "The environment is deflated and toxic," he explained. "The only remedy is either winning matches—which they're not—or changing the manager, which is what the fans want."

Murphy highlighted the cumulative toll of five league games without victory. "A fresh face comes in, picks up a win, and suddenly the mood transforms," he reasoned. "The players look bereft of belief. They've had a couple of respectable performances this week, but that evaporated after conceding. His half-time adjustments made matters worse rather than better."

However, Bruno Saltor—who handled the post-match press conference duties—struck a defiant note. The assistant insisted that Tudor and his coaching staff retain the club's backing and remain focused on recovery. "We feel the support of everyone here," Saltor stated. "The last two performances against Liverpool and Atlético Madrid, plus our first-half display today, give us belief. We should have been ahead. Small details are conspiring against us, but we're confident we can turn this around."
