Tottenham 'are the laughing stock of football' on the pitch, insists Jamie Redknapp in the wake of Nuno's sacking... as he claims 'a hell of a lot of mistakes' are being made in the boardroom

Tottenham have become 'the laughing stock of football' on the field because of the mistakes being made in the boardroom, according to the club's former midfielder Jamie Redknapp.

Nuno Espirito Santo was sacked by the club on Monday morning just four months into the role, with the club having suffered five Premier League defeats already this season.

The club are now closing in on former Chelsea and Inter Milan boss Antonio Conte, with growing optimism they will strike a deal given talks between both parties are moving quickly.

The ex-Italy boss rejected the chance to move to the north London club in the summer, but Spurs have now come calling again as they sit five points outside the top four.
