Tottenham hero Chris Waddle believes Jose Mourinho's appointment will split the support.
Mourinho was named new manager of Spurs this morning after Mauricio Pochettino's sacking yesterday.
Waddle told BBC Sport: "This has shocked the football world but it is a results business.
"I still think the mistake was not to get rid of Christian Eriksen, Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen, who are out of contract. When you get players who are running out of contract, mentally and physically they have found it hard. They are a fit group.
"Mauricio Pochettino has done a marvellous job, he has not freshened it as he wanted to, the stadium cost an absolute fortune and he has kept hold of players he wanted to move on.
"Unfortunately Tottenham cannot stand still, they cannot be a team in 10th to 14th place in the Premier League. They were in the Champions League final last season, in the top four the last four years running and he has been a big part of it.
"They have looked at it and thought, where are Tottenham going at the moment? Finishing 10th is not going to pay the bills or attract the big players.
"Who will come in next? Jose Mourinho is nailed on, is he a Tottenham-type manager? Will he sort it out? Will he be a fans' favourite with his style? I would say not, unless he changes his philosophy.
"Carlo Ancelotti would be a better fit - he has won as a player and a manager.
"Football moves very quickly, eventually it happens. He has been brilliant for the club but the way they have developed, they cannot stand still."
