Thomas Frank could be sacked TODAY after his odds were dramatically slashed to make his Tottenham exit after their 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle.
The Dane is under increasing pressure as his side suffered their seventh home loss of the season and now sit a worrying five points above the relegation zone.
And Frank’s odds to be sacked have moved from 6/4 to 1/4 in the Premier League sack race odds, giving him an 80% chance of getting fired.
Thomas Frank Sack Odds Shorten After “Sacked in the Morning” Chants
The atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium turned toxic during the 2-1 loss to Newcastle. Despite an equaliser from Archie Gray in the 64th minute, Jacob Ramsey’s winner just four minutes later condemned Spurs to another defeat.
The final whistle was met with a chorus of boos, and the home faithful were heard chanting “you’re getting sacked in the morning” at the Dane.
This latest result means Tottenham have won only two of their last 17 Premier League fixtures. Frank’s post-match comments, in which he claimed he was “1,000 per cent sure” he was the right man for the job, have done little to quieten the noise.
With the club sitting 16th in the table and seemingly in a freefall toward the bottom three, the hierarchy is reportedly weighing up whether the “long-term project” can survive such a sustained period of failure.
A Nightmare Run of Fixtures Looming for Relegation-Threatened Spurs
The timing of this crisis is particularly dangerous for Tottenham given their upcoming schedule. Frank may have survived the night, but the “relegation form” currently displayed by his squad must be corrected immediately if they are to avoid a historic disaster.
Next up for Spurs is the North London Derby against high-flying Arsenal. Following the clash with their rivals, the fixture list remains unforgiving, with matches against top-six contenders and high-stakes “six-pointers” that will determine their survival.
This includes games against Fulham, Crystal Palace, Liverpool and Nottingham Forrest before the March international break.
The board is fully aware that if a change isn’t made now, a new manager might inherit a team already stuck in the bottom three with little time to turn the tide.
Who is the Favourite to Replace Thomas Frank at Totteham?
Frank’s exit looks imminent and the attention of many Spurs fans will be who will take over the sinking ship.
Oliver Glasner is the favourite in the next Tottenham manager odds and could be tempted to leave Crystal Palace for the north side of London after a series of public fallouts with the board.
Ex-Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca is also in the running, while former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino could also make a return to N17.
