Head coach Thomas Frank has overseen a sixth league loss so far this season just months having from fellow Londoners Brentford in the summer.
They are six points adrift of the top four and have one top flight win from seven since October 26.
Spurs have reached a stage where Lord Sugar, who was part-owner of the club from 1991 to 2001, has called for a change on the touchline.
Taking to X shortly after their defeat at the City Ground, he named legendary former Liverpool boss Klopp as a potential candidate for the job.

“With the massive fortune of the Lewis family it would be a win-win situation if they hired Jurgen Klopp in January,” he said.
“Loads of money for players and a great manager. Who agrees?”
The Lewis family own ENIC Group, the majority owners at Spurs, with ex-custodian Joe Lewis reportedly having a $6.9billion net worth.
However, an appointment of Premier League champion Klopp may be all but impossible following his exit from Liverpool last year.
Could Klopp manage Spurs?
When announcing his Liverpool departure, the German ruled out the possibility of managing another club in England.
“If you ask me, ‘Will you ever work as a manager again?’ I would say now no,” he explained.

“But I don’t know obviously how that will feel because I never had the situation.
“What I know definitely – I will never, ever manage a different club in England than Liverpool, 100 per cent. That’s not possible.”
There was recent talk of Klopp making a sensational Liverpool return amid the increasing pressure on Arne Slot.
However, talkSPORT reported that speculation was wide of the mark.
Suggestions of him replacing Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid were also rubbished earlier this week.
Klopp currently works as the Global Head of Soccer at Red Bull and advises their worldwide network of clubs.

Frank seems to be finding it tough to get a tune out of his Spurs sideCredit: GettyFrank calls for patience
It’s been a fluctuant start to life at Spurs for Frank, with the loss at Forest his ninth in 25 matches.
They are already out of the Carabao Cup and look set for the play-offs in the Champions League aside from their poor league form.
However, Frank has suggested that there is no short-term solution to their problems.
“I can’t see why not,” he replied when asked if he will be given more time to put his ideas into action at Spurs.

“I think it’s pretty evident that if no one gets the time, no one can turn this around. This is not a quick fix.”
Spurs have just under a week until their next match, a home clash against Liverpool on Saturday.
