Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust (THST) called for “emergency action” following Tottenham Hotspur’s chaotic 5-2 defeat to Atlético Madrid on Tuesday night.
Records tumbled for Spurs in Madrid, where young goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky was substituted after just 17 minutes following two costly errors.
The loss also made Igor Tudor the first Tottenham manager to lose his first four games in charge, while the club have now suffered six consecutive defeats for the first time in their history.
Tudor has been in charge for only 26 days but refused to answer questions about his future after the match, as THST described the performance and result against Atlético as “a total disgrace.
“It’s symptomatic of the abysmal state of things at Spurs right now,” a statement said. “Emergency action is needed as right now we are sleepwalking off the edge of a cliff.
“Being a Spurs fan has never been so difficult, but supporters will not sit by and watch the club continue to decline. At the very least those in Madrid should have their match tickets refunded.”
Former Spurs manager Harry Redknapp has even played down his chances of returning to the club, as pressure continues to mount on interim head coach Igor Tudor following another damaging defeat early in his tenure.
Redknapp told the Press Association at Cheltenham: “I’ve been asked a few times if I’d go back to Spurs and it’s probably not going to happen, is it? “Would I go back? Of course I would, but I doubt very much it’s going to happen.
“They’ve got it all on to stay up, it’s going to be hard. I’m looking at their fixtures and (Nottingham) Forest are playing all right, West Ham are playing very well, it’s going to be tough for Tottenham.
“My only concern at the minute is The Jukebox Man (his horse) in the Gold Cup, I’m nothing to do with Spurs any more. “They haven’t been in touch, not at all. I hope Spurs stay up and I hope West Ham stay up.”
Tottenham sit just one point above 18th-placed West Ham United ahead of Sunday’s daunting trip to Anfield to face Liverpool. Spurs have confirmed that Igor Tudor will speak at a scheduled pre-match press conference on Friday ahead of Sunday’s trip. According to ESPN, Tudor is expected to remain as Spurs boss for the visit to Anfield.
