Micky van de Ven refused to sugarcoat Tottenham Hotspur's season‚ insisting it was 'embarrassing' that it took until the final game to stave off relegation. Spurs have burned through Thomas Frank and Igor Tudor as managers this season‚ only recently turning to Roberto De Zerbi in a desperate bid to keep them up. While Sunday's 1-0 win at home to Everton ensured Premier League safety‚ Van de Ven was in no mood to celebrate.

MATT BARLOW: James Maddison has revealed the heartache of his year on the sidelines and the long‚ lonely road back to fitness while watching Tottenham slide into a relegation fight. 'It's been some dark days‚ especially since the surgery‚' said Maddison after returning as a late substitute against Leeds on Monday. 'It's been a really tough year for me mentally.' He missed the Europa League final when Spurs beat Manchester United in Bilbao‚ the UEFA Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain‚ a Champions League campaign and did not make an appearance under Thomas Frank or Igor Tudor.

KIERAN GILL AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: 'We want our Chelsea back‚' was the song reverberating around Stamford Bridge as we neared the conclusion of this latest calamity‚ and indeed‚ this is not the club they know and love. They cannot score. They cannot defend. For the first time since 1998‚ Chelsea have endured four consecutive league losses without so much as grabbing a goal for themselves. When they last kept a Premier League clean sheet on January 17‚ Thomas Frank was still Tottenham Hotspur manager before Igor Tudor and Roberto De Zerbi - and Spurs were 10 points from safety. When they last scored in this competition on March 4‚ Artemis II was still a month from launching - and it has since been around the Moon and back.

Thomas Frank was in the stands to watch his former club Brentford take on Fulham in Premier League action in his first public appearance since being sacked from relegation-threatened Tottenham. The Danish manager was given his marching orders in February amid a worrying dip in form in north London‚ which has since crystallised into a dogfight to escape the drop down to the Championship at the end of the season. Since then‚ Frank has kept a low profile‚ but was all smiles in the capital on Saturday afternoon as he was spotted in a VIP box with Brentford's sporting director Phil Giles.

ARSENAL 0-0 SPORTING (agg 1-0) - OLIVER HOLT AT THE EMIRATES: Outside the Clock End‚ where the Sporting supporters were streaming into the ground in their green and white hoops and the smoke of their flares turned the air acrid‚ some of the greats of Arsenal stared down on the scene from a giant mural. Tony Adams was there‚ leading the troops into battle‚ his shoulder to a cannon. David Rocastle was by his side. Martin Keown looked wide-eyed with aggression. Frank McLintock was there‚ too. It looked like one of those masterpieces of Soviet-era iconography‚ heroes of the proletariat coming to the aid of the motherland in its hour of need‚ square-jawed and upright‚ never doubting‚ never yielding.

‘Thomas Frank might be allowed back' over De Zerbi as ludicrous Tottenham curveball thrown

Tudor was only appointed on Valentine's Day following the dismissal of Thomas Frank ‚ but has failed to address Tottenham's alarming form. The Croatian presided over four consecutive defeats at the start of his brief tenure‚ with Tottenham still yet to win a league match in 2026. And despite giving himself a glimmer of hope after his side rescued a 1-1 draw at Anfield on Sunday night‚ Tudor was axed by Tottenham on Monday with the club one point above the drop zone.

Tudor's reign has been a disaster so far‚ with the interim coach losing all four of his games in charge since replacing Thomas Frank as Spurs continue to plummet towards the relegation zone. They will take on Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday‚ and could find themselves in the bottom three if results fail to go their way this weekend. Now‚ the club are said to be on the hunt for potential replacements in case they do choose to make a change. It's unclear whether the club would look to appoint another interim or a longer-term option.

'Generations of the Lewis family support this special football club and they want what the fans want - more wins more often‚' was the declaration of the Lewis family after ousting Daniel Levy as Tottenham chairman in September. The statement of intent was welcomed by the majority of Tottenham fans‚ with the hope that the club's majority shareholders had finally woken up and were prepared to offer the backing that could lead to major honours. The Lewis family had put its faith in chief executive Vinai Venkatesham and head coach Thomas Frank‚ stating it had the 'right team to deliver on this' and welcoming 'a new era'

The ex-Everton player‚ who previously assisted Arne Slot at Liverpool‚ was announced as a new addition to the Danish head coach's staff in January amid a turgid run of results. When Frank was given his marching orders earlier this month‚ Heitinga followed him out of the door.

Tottenham's interim manager Igor Tudor looked to get his interregnum off on the right foot on Thursday evening by taking his squad out for a team bonding dinner. The former Juventus head coach was appointed at Spurs on Friday afternoon‚ but faces a baptism of fire for his first competitive match‚ with the club welcoming loathed rivals Arsenal on Sunday for the north London derby. But in a bid to raise morale following the departure of Thomas Frank‚ Tudor may have turned to more unorthodox methods to improve the mood at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
