Jamie O'Hara walked out of the talkSPORT studio after Jason Cundy continuously ridiculed Tottenham following their dismal 3-1 home loss to Crystal Palace on Thursday.
Spurs suffered their FIFTH consecutive defeat, intensifying their battle against relegation, as Ismaila Sarr's double and Jorgen Stand Larsen's goal secured victory for the visitors.
The result leaves Tottenham languishing in 16th position, merely ONE point above 18th-placed West Ham and Nottingham Forest in 17th. Genuine fears are now mounting that Spurs, despite still competing in the Champions League, could drop into the second division for the first time since 1977/78 – their sole campaign outside England's top tier.
Igor Tudor has experienced a torrid beginning since taking over from Thomas Frank as interim boss until the season's conclusion, suffering defeats in all three of his opening fixtures against Arsenal, Fulham and Palace.
Former Spurs midfielder O'Hara is now demanding the Croatian's DISMISSAL, barely a month after his arrival.
Speaking to co-presenter Cundy, O'Hara said: "The manager's got to go. He's got to go. Get rid of him. He's lost three games on the bounce. We are the only team in the Premier League ever to bring in a new manager to get a new manager bounce and we get a worse bounce.

"Honestly, he's a joke, this club is a joke, the owners are a joke, the players are a joke, the recruitment's a joke, the staff are a joke, the manager's a joke. Everything about the football club is an absolute disgrace. Honestly, I'm hurting, I'm actually hurting. It hurts.
"I didn't think it would hurt, because I was like, we've had some good moments, won the Europa League last season. This is just awful. This is so bad. This is the worst I've ever felt as a Spurs fan, ever."
Ex-Chelsea defender Cundy, wearing an Ange Postecoglou mask complete with a clown bow tie and hat, countered O'Hara's tirade, arguing that Tudor should be afforded more time to work with the squad.
"He's had three games, give him time on the training ground," Cundy said.
O'Hara then shot back: "Jase come on mate, what are you on about seriously? Do you think he is good enough?".
Cundy responded simply with: "Yes," before O'Hara hit back: "You're just talking rubbish because I know that is not true."
Despite the heated exchange, Cundy remained steadfast in his stance, adding: "I've seen signs. Encouraging signs."
This prompted O'Hara to abruptly leave the studio. As he headed for the exit, he declared: "It's pointless doing a show with you mate. You're not being serious, you're just an idiot."
Cundy then informed talkSPORT listeners that O'Hara had genuinely departed the studio, concluding: "Jamie has walked out, we're going to hear from the interim manager of Spurs, Igor Tudor."
O'Hara returned to see out the programme but his pessimism regarding his former side persisted. The 39-year-old confessed he believes Tottenham will face relegation this campaign.
When questioned whether Spurs are heading down, O'Hara reluctantly responded: "Yes."
He continued: "This team is terrible. The players are terrible. They're Championship players. They're Championship players. Pape Sarr is a Championship player. Conor Gallagher. How he played for Atletico Madrid, I'll never know. He's been awful. He's been absolutely awful.
"Souza, who's this kid. He looks like he's got two left feet. Honestly, it's embarrassing. Seriously, the team is absolutely awful.
"Mathys Tel. I could have told you. A donkey could have told you last season that he was garbage, a donkey could have told you last season that Tel was not good enough.
"He ain't good enough. And we signed him on a permanent. It's unbelievable. The football club. It's unbelievable. The people in charge of this football club. One of the biggest clubs in the world. And an absolute mockery. We're a mockery of a football club that we've allowed this to happen and the fans have had to accept it."
Spurs' next Premier League challenge is a formidable trip to Anfield next Sunday, where they'll face reigning champions Liverpool without the suspended Micky van de Ven due to his red card in the previous match.
However, before that, Tottenham are off to Spain to confront Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 on Tuesday.
