ENIC to leave Tudor decision up to Lange and Venkatesham as Tottenham face real threat of relegation | OneFootball

ENIC Group, owners of Tottenham Hotspur, will not step in to decide Igor Tudor’s future despite the club’s alarming start under him, according to the BBC.

Tottenham chief executive Vinai Venkatesham and sporting director Johan Lange retain full authority over the manager’s position.

The duo led the decision to appoint Tudor following the dismissal of Thomas Frank last month. Unfortunately, his start has been disastrous.

Spurs have lost all four matches since his arrival, conceding 14 goals and slipping dangerously close to the bottom three of the Premier League table.

Tottenham could fall into the relegation zone if results elsewhere go against them this weekend.

Their struggles were laid bare again in midweek as a 5-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid left them facing a steep task in the second leg.

Behind the scenes, concerns go beyond results.

Sources suggest a growing disconnect between Tudor and the squad, with several players unconvinced he can steer the club away from danger.

His decision not to console goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky after he was substituted just 17 minutes into the defeat in Madrid has also raised eyebrows internally.

Tottenham cannot afford to wait

Ownership has historically avoided day-to-day involvement, a structure that has been in place even after the departure of long-serving chairman Daniel Levy last year.

The Lewis family, led by patriarch Joe Lewis, continue to ratify major decisions. They are not expected to intervene directly unless the situation deteriorates.

However, that deterioration is already underway. Spurs look fragile, disorganised and increasingly short of belief, a catastrophic opening spell for any manager.

Tottenham are flirting with a genuine relegation fight, and sentiment or stubbornness cannot be allowed to drag the club deeper into crisis.

If Venkatesham and Lange are truly in charge of football decisions, the conclusion should be obvious.

The Tudor experiment has failed, and Spurs must act immediately before the damage becomes irreversible.
