Tottenham interim manager Igor Tudor has received a serious warning by Tim Sherwood
Sherwood insists there is a great downside and very little upside for Tudor at Tottenham
about that appointment and Sherwood, 57, hinted the Croatian tactician may have walked into a no-win situation as he “can only fail” in N19.
The ex-Tottenham star and manager, who recently admitted it would “be an honour” to return to his former club after , echoed the team’s Premier League relegation risk.
The North Londoners are 16th in the Prem table with only five points separating them from the drop zone.
Sherwood insists that if fails to save Spurs then his career would forever be tainted for being the man that relegated a Big Six side.
However, the Blackburn legend added that even if the ex-Juventus boss saves the club from the drop and finishes in the higher places he will still be “getting no credit”.
That is because of ‘s star-studded side, despite the fact a staggering 11 players are currently injured.
told Sky Sports: “It’s going to be difficult, he has no knowledge of the Premier League. Apart from the money, what is the upside for him?
“If he finishes 12th, he’s getting no credit. The downside is so catastrophic. Would you want your fingerprints all over Tottenham getting relegated from the Premier League?
“I go back to it – Thomas Frank would still be there if it wasn’t for the toxic nature of the fans.
“And I can totally understand the disgruntlement of the fans, because they’re not getting the results.
“I heard people say they’re sleepwalking into the Championship. I think they’ll have enough, even with the injuries, to get out of it – but he will get no credit for that.
“The downside is so great, he can only fail. He’s getting no credit for keeping Tottenham in the league.”
