Spurs weigh up manager options
Adi Hutter and Roberto De Zerbi are both considered candidates to step in for the struggling Londoners.
”Austrian coach Adi Hutter, who most recently managed Monaco, has also been linked with the job. But former Everton and Burnley boss Sean Dyche is not in the frame, having also publicly ruled himself out of the running to replace Tudor.
”Tudor failed to win any of his Premier League games in charge and his appointment backfired in spectacular fashion.
”They delayed taking any action as the club announced after the Forest game that Tudor’s father had passed away and issued their condolences.”
More names added to the mix at Spurs
The Express newspaper is another source of speculation about the replacement for Tudor at Tottenham.
Ryan Mason, Harry Redknapp, Edin Terzic and Marco Rose are all put forward as other names for the shortlist.
”De Zerbi has had talks with Spurs already and there is encouragement that he would be willing to take the job permanently on the condition that Spurs stave off the threat of relegation.
”Tudor departed without a single Premier League victory to his name and whoever assumes the position will need to elicit a swift reaction from the club’s floundering squad in order to reverse their fortunes.”
Liverpool and Newcastle battle for Suarez
Sporting CP forward Luis Suarez has been linked with a move to Newcastle United or Liverpool in the summer.
The 28-year-old Colombian forward continues to impress in Portugal, attracting Premier League attention.
”The Sporting forward is experiencing the campaign of his career since his switch from Almeria last summer. The Colombian, 28, has netted 33 goals and provided seven assists in just 42 matches to establish himself as one of Europe’s most sought-after forwards.
”Portuguese publication Correio da Manha claims Liverpool and Newcastle are showing ‘intense interest’ in Suarez, who remains tied to the Lisbon outfit until 2030 and carries a release clause of approximately £70 million.”
Wednesday talks progress
Arise Capital are reportedly making progress as they look to complete the takeover of Sheffield Wednesday.
Wednesday are doomed to League One but it has not stopped consortiums showing interest in the club.
”Inside Sport understands that the competition is satisfied with the business plans, budget and finance involved in the offer from an American consortium made up of investors David Storch, son Michael and Tom Costin. Sadly, former owner Dejphon Chansiri remains influential in the process.
”The Thai businessman is the major creditor and failure to pay him 25p in the pound of the £60m debt owed to him would trigger an automatic 15-point deduction for The Owls next season. Chansiri could write off the debt, allowing the club to start afresh in League One, in what many view as the honourable move, given it was spent as part of his tenure and that he has done enough damage at Hillsborough.
”A precedent has been set at both Derby County, where former owner Mel Morris said goodbye to £100m and Wigan Athletic supremo Au Yeung Wai Kay wrote off £36m. Regardless, Chansiri’s next move remains to be seen. Should he refuse to budge, then the EFL board will make the call but do not expect any leniency, given the impact it would have on other clubs in the competition who have complied with their rules.”
