Spurs are now just five points above the relegation zone and could be facing the very real threat of going down if things don’t improve soon.
Although not yet confirmed by Tottenham at the time of writing, numerous outlets, including BBC Sport, are running the story that Frank has been sacked as Spurs manager.
Thomas Frank had been facing questions over his future
Just last night when he spoke after the defeat to Newcastle, Frank faced a series of questions over his future at the club.
Frank was clearly not happy at the repeated prodding over his situation, but the Danish tactician has now been given his marching orders, so it clearly wasn’t without substance.
Tottenham have had an awful season, with the team once again far too close to the bottom three after they also finished 17th last term.
On that occasion, though, previous manager Ange Postecoglou won the Europa League with THFC, so that was more than a decent silver lining to the campaign.
This time, however, Spurs are already out of both domestic cups, and don’t look like standing much of a chance in the Champions League, even if they have made it into the knockout stages.
