Igor Tudor's Tottenham tenure lasted just 44 days and seven games
Tottenham Hotspur's hierarchy have finally addressed the mistake they made with the outlandish appointment of Igor Tudor as interim head coach - but the stakes are now so high they cannot afford another.
Tudor's departure after only 44 days concludes a bizarre and potentially hugely expensive episode that leaves fingers pointing firmly in the direction of chief executive Vinai Venkatesham and sporting director Johan Lange.
If Venkatesham and Lange get the next big decision wrong it could conceivably end with Spurs in the Championship, leaving a scar on their record that would be impossible to recover from.
If there is merit in the argument that it is better to correct a mistake as quickly as possible, the counter-argument is that appointing Tudor was a mistake that should never have been made in the first place.
