Wayne Rooney has called on Tottenham Hotspur to appoint Roy Keane as manager to instil discipline and avoid relegation, as interim boss Igor Tudor continues to struggle. Speaking on the Stick to Football podcast, Rooney described Tottenham's players as an 'absolute disgrace' and claimed they need someone like Keane to 'go in and batter them'.
Tottenham are embroiled in a Premier League relegation battle after a calamitous season. Tudor, who replaced Thomas Frank last month, has lost all four of his games in charge, prompting concerns over his position. Rooney believes a no-nonsense figure is required to inject fear and desire into the squad.
Rooney said: 'Those players need to look at themselves, I think they have been an absolute disgrace. The performances, the attitude, the lack of desire, the lack of fight, the lack of anything in them. I was watching the Palace game the other day and I really felt sorry for Tottenham fans, they are not even angry anymore they are disappointed and sad.'
Meanwhile, former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp revealed he received a phone call from ex-chairman Daniel Levy, who said he would bring Redknapp back until the end of the season if he were still at the club. Redknapp told talkSPORT: 'I got a phone call last week from Daniel... he did say to me: If I was there now, and I'm not just saying it, I would bring you back in until the end of the season, Harry.'
