Sherwood criticised Tudor’s methods and urged a more supportive approach as Spurs slide toward the relegation zone. Spurs are described as 16th with 29 points from 29 matches, one point above Nottingham Forest and West Ham, on a five-game losing run, while West Ham’s recent form has improved.
Paul Pogba
March 2026
Nainggolan claimed Pogba “only had three good years” and said he was better than Pogba in their Serie A era, as Pogba struggles to make an impact at Monaco in a World Cup year. Pogba’s four-year doping ban was cut to 18 months on appeal, Juventus released him, and he joined Monaco on a two-year deal. Fitness issues have limited his influence, prompting criticism like Nainggolan’s comments to Sportium.fun.
Rodri
March 2026
Reports say Madrid have stepped back from pursuing Rodri despite wanting midfield reinforcements.

The wider backdrop is uncertainty around Guardiola’s long-term future, influencing player planning at City.
Igor Tudor
March 2026
Sherwood attacked Tudor’s approach and criticised a rapid shift from confidence to public complaints about the squad.
