The 54-year-old has not been at a club since leaving Nottingham Forest last month, making his remarkable return to Spurs&#8217; struggling management team. The north London side sit 17th in the Premier League, just one point and one place ahead of 18th-placed West Ham, who occupy a formidable bottom three.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>And with Spurs failing to win their last 13 top-flight games, there is genuine fear that relegation could become a reality. Given this and Igor Tudor&#8217;s precarious situation, Dyche is being looked at as the man to arrive and provide relief to Tottenham while securing their Premier League place. Tudor was announced as Thomas Frank&#8217;s replacement in mid-February, but had a nightmare start in the dugout, earning just one point from a potential 18 teams.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>According to talkSPORT, the Croatian has come under intense scrutiny after signing a contract until the summer, with Spurs considering making a change as manager before the end of the international break.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>If the Spurs choose to make a change, Dyche would be one of the top candidates to take on the responsibility. And on Saturday, the former Everton and Burnley manager was asked about the speculation surrounding him and Tottenham&#8217;s role.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Speaking on a special talk SPORT show with Johnny Owen, Dyche said: &#8220;I was in a pub near where I land here and this guy said, &#8216;You&#8217;re supposed to be negotiating with Spurs.&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p data-mce-linkchecker-status=\"valid\">&#8220;And I said, &#8216;Well, I&#8217;m sitting next to you drinking a pint of Guinness.&#8217; So I said, &#8216;That&#8217;s not likely.&#8217; I&#8217;m on talkSPORT with you (Johnny Owen)&#8230;that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m doing. \u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>After dismissing the Tottenham rumors, Dyche spoke about his relationship with the managerial merry-go-round and the numerous vacancies at home and abroad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Dyche continued: &#8220;Clickbait can fool you to death, right? So it&#8217;s a very difficult situation to be in, no matter what you do. You&#8217;re right to seek inside information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"photo changeSpace\">\n<p class=\"withoutCaption\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/6829943.jpg?r=1774709654971\" alt=\"The serious manager was sacked as Forest manager in February.\" title=\"The serious manager was sacked as Forest manager in February.\" width=\"590\" height=\"422\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"newsCaption\">The serious manager was sacked as Forest manager in February. <span class=\"caption\">(Image: PA)<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;If you&#8217;re a manager and you&#8217;re doing well, no matter where you are in your career, you&#8217;re going to get asked these questions at some point.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>\u201cAnd when asked, you try to be respectful, because obviously I use Tottenham as an example, but great clubs, huge clubs, all the other clubs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;One of my first memories is Ricky Villa&#8217;s goal (in the 1981 FA Cup final) or something like that. And you go, &#8216;Oh, it&#8217;s an honour.'&#8221; And they say, &#8220;Oh, he didn&#8217;t say no!&#8221; Then the answer will be &#8220;No&#8221;.

During his spells with Burnley, Everton and Forest, he won 99 of his 350 top-flight games in the dugout, winning 95 and drawing 95.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Express sports on FB!
