Jamie O’Hara has blasted Tottenham Hotspur‘s decision to keep Igor Tudor in charge.

Spurs were torn apart by Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, losing 5-2 at the Metropolitano to all but bring an end to their Champions League campaign.

Tudor took over from Thomas Frank last month and has already faced sack threats after losing all four matches at the helm.

The Lilywhites have been dragged into a relegation scrap, sitting just a point above the drop zone.

Tudor is set to stay in charge for now as it’s been confirmed he will take his press conference on Friday, ahead of the trip to Liverpool on Sunday, and former midfielder O’Hara is stunned.

Tudor took over with one job handed to him: keep Spurs in the Premier League.

Instead, the crisis has continued, with Tottenham dragged further into trouble alongside a Champions League exit that is all but confirmed.

Following the news that the Croatian will take his press conference ahead of the upcoming clash with Liverpool, the former Spurs, Portsmouth and Wolves midfielder took to X to outline his disbelief.

“Breaking news that Igor Tudor will take the Liverpool press conference on Friday! Unbelievable stuff absolute charlatans running this football club,” he said. “Some of the worst decisions I’ve seen ever.”

Things don’t get any easier for Spurs in the coming weeks either, with the trip to Anfield followed up by the second leg against Atletico Madrid, before a big relegation six-pointer against Nottingham Forest on the eve of the international break.

The ‘relegation six-pointer’ phrase is simply something that should not be written about Tottenham, but it cannot be argued that the current crisis is completely self-inflicted.

Tottenham have sleptwalked into relegation crisis

Antonio Conte warned Spurs before his departure in 2023 when he questioned the club’s direction.

Though he himself was part of the ongoing issues, with there being no discernible direction or plan to anything happening at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in recent years.

Conte, alongside Jose Mourinho, Nuno Espirito Santo, Ange Postecoglou and even the aforementioned Frank have all had success elsewhere, with the lack of it at Spurs showcasing exactly why the club are in the current predicament.

The lack of forward thinking has seen managers come and go with different ideas and outlooks on the game, while the style of play on the pitch seems to change year in and year out in North London.

The current squad is an amalgamation of multiple coaches’ ideas, that are now seemingly uncoachable in general under Tudor.

Spurs have walked straight into this mess, with a lack of consistency in their planning.

The result now is that Tudor is likely to be the next manager to lose his job, on a conveyor belt of coaches who share no similarities or common ideas – something that is Tottenham’s own doing.
