Tottenham fans make shock demand for ex-Nottingham Forest boss after Nuno Espirito Santo sacking

Tottenham Hotspur began their search for a new manager today after sacking Nuno Espirito Santo - and some Spurs fans are calling for Chris Hughton to be given a role as interim boss.

Hughton is currently out of work after being sacked by Forest in September following a wretched start to the season which left the club rooted to the foot of the Championship.

He has since been linked with the Cardiff City job but also has strong links to Spurs where he spent 13 years as a player.

And some Tottenham fans believe he would be the perfect choice to steady the ship at Spurs who were beaten 3-0 by Manchester United at the weekend.

Here's what they had to say on Twitter.

Craig: "Stick Chris Hughton in charge on an interim basis until someone of note is available rather him than another inexperienced in the Premier League."

Joe Burns: "Call Chris Hughton and tell him to start getting his thoughts together on what he needs to do when he gets appointed."

G Elliot: "Would welcome an interim Chris Hughton over this nonsense."

Cem: "I'm hearing Harry Redknapp as interim boss with Chris Hughton as his assistant."

Colin Blake: "If Nuno goes we need someone who lives and breathes Tottenham. And, after being cruelly cast aside by Nottingham Forest, Chris Hughton is available! He’s one of our own!!"
