You know how dem dey talk say “e short, e pain”? Na exactly wetin Igor Tudor time as Tottenham Hotspur manager be. Just 44 days. Only 7 matches. Then Sunday evening, Spurs just post one cold statement for dem website say the man don go. No drama, no press conference, no proper “bye-bye” — just “thank you” and one sentence say dem go announce new head coach soon.

Tottenham, one of the biggest clubs for England, don change manager three times this season. First na Thomas Frank, then Tudor, now person wey we never know. See as big club dey fall hand for North London.

Wetin Happen Under Tudor: Pure Wahala

When dem bring Tudor come on 13 February to replace Thomas Frank, the club talk say “hope dey.” Dem think say he go improve how dem dey play and carry Spurs go up for Premier League table. Instead, the opposite come happen. Tudor only pick one point out of 15 for Premier League — the 1-1 draw with Liverpool.

As if that one no reach, Atlético Madrid use dem do “yeye” for Champions League Round of 16. Dem lose 7-5 on aggregate for one of the most scatter-scatter match wey eye don ever see.

The Madrid Disaster:

Tudor do wetin pass human understanding. He commot first-choice keeper Guglielmo Vicario con start young Czech boy, Antonín Kinsky, for the second leg. The boy mess up for the first two goals, and Tudor commot am for 17th minute — the fastest any keeper don “get subbed out” for Champions League knockout. Dem say Tudor no even look the boy face as he dey cry comot. Other players like Conor Gallagher and Solanke sef follow am enter tunnel. Pure confusion!

After that one, Nottingham Forest come beat dem 3-0 for home on 22 March. Na there the matter finish. Right now, Spurs only dey one point above relegation. If dem no look well, dem go find demsef for Championship next season.

Tudor No Collect “Shaking of Hand” Money

One thing wey surprise people na say, according to talkSPORT, Tudor gree waka without collecting any severance pay (terminating payoff). Managers normally dey collect millions if dem sack dem, but Tudor just shake hands con waka. E show say even him know say the thing no work from day one.

Aside from football, the man get personal heavy heart. Im papa, Mario, die just after that Forest match. Spurs sef send dem “sorry” message for the statement. Football aside, the man need prayers.

The De Zerbi Matter: Dem Want Am, But E No Ready

As Tudor commot, the name wey everyone dey call na Roberto De Zerbi. The Italian coach dey jobless since he commot Marseille. Sky Sports talk say Spurs don offer am 5-year contract and dem still dey follow am talk. De Zerbi football na “show-off” style — high-pressing and plenty possession — wetin Spurs fans don dey hungry for.

But wahala dey:

  1. Timing: De Zerbi talk say he prefer wait until summer so he go fit start “fresh” with pre-season.

  2. The Danger: To take over club wey dey fight relegation with only 7 games left? That one hard for coach wey like to build from scratch.

  3. Fabrizio Romano Talk: The transfer oga talk for him YouTube say: “De Zerbi no dey go Tottenham now. Na summer mata if dem still dey Premier League.”

Other names wey dey fly include Mauricio Pochettino (wey dey busy with USA), Sean Dyche (the “no-nonsense” survival expert), and Adolf Hütter. For now, na Bruno Saltor dey hold the ground as caretaker.

Fans Dey “Vex” for De Zerbi

If you think say the matter simple, wait. Three fan groups — Proud Lilywhites, Women of the Lane, and Spurs Reach — don already talk say dem no want De Zerbi. Why? Because of how he take support Mason Greenwood for Marseille. Because of the “allegations” wey happen to Greenwood before, some fans feel say De Zerbi choice of words no follow. So the boardroom get serious headache: pick the best coach wey fans no want, or pick another person wey fit no sabi work?

Relegation Table: See as E Be

With 7 games to go, see how the bottom table red reach:

Position Club Status
🔴 18th West Ham Deep inside the pot
🔴 17th Palace / Burnley Dem dey struggle
🟡 16th Tottenham 1 point above “hell fire”

Every match now be like World Cup Final. Dem next match na against Sunderland on 12 April. If whoever come next no get “spirit,” Spurs fit carry dem £1 billion stadium go play for Championship.

Final Verdict: Spurs Dey Under Curse?

This one don pass “tactics.” Third manager for one season? Relegation threat? Fans dey fight? Star players dey confuse?

Tottenham dey inside “existential crisis” (matter of life and death). Whoever carry this work must get “anointing” to perform miracle. If dem go down, the rebuild go cost money and time.

No long yarns: Make una pray for Spurs fans. The suffer-head don too much. 🙏
