Spurs would prefer permanent appointment
Your Site News reporter Michael Bridge:
Tottenham is still a very attractive club to many managers. That's why Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho took the role. It's why Mauricio Pochettino has said he would love to go back. It's why our understanding is Roberto De Zerbi would be interested in the role in the summer.
These are two very different Tottenham Hotspurs. It's a big club, sure, but it could be one of the riskiest moves you make in management.
The new boss could be the one that sees Spurs relegated. Or, in the summer, Tottenham stay in the Premier League and big names come in for it again.
It's my understanding that Tottenham would ideally prefer to appoint someone on a permanent basis. Where does that leave you? It's unlikely you will get managers out of their contract at this stage of the season. The one name that keeps coming up is De Zerbi.
He did a brilliant job at Brighton and a good job at Marseille. He is the name that is not going away. He's had admirers in the previous regime under Daniel Levy and he's still got them now. I still believe he needs convincing to come in now.
It's going to be a huge decision.

'Premier League experience crucial' - Who next for Tottenham?
Your Site News' Michael Bridge on who could replace Igor Tudor at Tottenham:
"It doesn't necessarily need to be someone like that [with Spurs DNA]. I don't think it needs to be someone who sings Chaz and Dave in their car. It's got to be someone with Premier League experience.
"Someone who knows what it is like to go to Wolves away. Someone who knows what it is like to face Leeds at home in a few weeks. Brighton in a couple weeks.
"We know Igor Tudor was appointed to put out fires. He did it at Juventus and Lazio. But he hasn't done it with a club that was trying to stay in the Premier League.
"The fact is, it didn't happen. They lost against Crystal Palace. They lost against Fulham. From the very start it was looking extremely difficult for him.
"If they don't get this appointment right, they will be relegated from the Premier League.
"My understanding is that they are looking to appoint someone in the coming days. Tottenham is a very attractive club to many managers. That's why Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho took the role. It's why Maurcio Pochettino has said he would love to go back. It's why, our understanding is Roberto De Zerbi would be interested in the role in the summer.
"These are two very different Tottenham Hotspur's. It's a big club, sure, but it could be one of the riskiest moves you make in management. Or, in the summer, Tottenham stay in the Premier League and big names come in for it again. It's going to be a huge decision.
"Relegation is absolutely unthinkable for a football club for this size, but also very possible."

Brentford goalkeeper Matt Cox - who is currently on loan at Shrewsbury - has told Your Site he is shutting out the noise about his future.
A recent report in The Standard suggested the 22-year-old was attracting attention from Premier League clubs and clubs in Europe.

"Every year, I want to prove myself like it's my last year. I don't want to be at a point in my career where I've waited or wasted a few years. I don't want to be in a situation where I'm regretting stuff come the end of a contract
"Being towards the end of a contract, stuff could be happening around my future, but I shut all that out and know, if I'm doing my best all the time, hopefully that will give me an opportunity, whether that is at Brentford or elsewhere."
