**West Ham are likely to face a shootout for survival against bitter rivals Spurs this season with the north Londoners appearing to hold all hope on another managerial change.**
It was broken yesterday that Spurs had parted ways with Igor Tudor, who like all Hammers fans had hoped for, was a disastrous appointment for the, as they face now the very real prospect of relegation.
Yes, they are still ahead of West Ham, but its now just a point (with a much better goal difference), however their form is woeful – considering they are still winless in 2026.
Reports today suggest Roberto De Zerbi is in line to take over, however its difficult to see how anyone can seriously get this Spurs side performing and getting points – bearing in mind there are just 7 games remaining and they need a drastic shift in form to galvanise the points most likely needed to survive.
Speaking on the turmoil of our relegation rivals, ExWHUEmployee feels that there is enough evidence to suggest the issues at that club are far more than just the man in charge of the team. Which gives hopes to all West Ham fans that this could be the latest error in judgment from the north Londoners.
“I am hoping it doesn’t do anything because you would think the problems run a lot deeper than who the manager is,” stated Ex. “Of course I would have rather Tudor had stayed because some of his decisions were very questionable and I hope there is no new manager bounce.
“Time will tell I guess but it’s a brave and possibly desperate move by Spurs.”
