Tottenham fans will not like hearing where Opta’s Supercomputer has predicted the Lilywhites will finish in the Premier League this season.
Thomas Frank has been giving Tottenham fans a reality check on where they have finished over the last few years in defence of his own record this term.
Reports indicate that the Spurs board are willing to stick with Frank through this difficult spell, and that they retain belief that he can turn things around.
However, Tottenham continue to slide down the Premier League table, and there is no sign of any light at the end of the tunnel at the moment.
Opta’s Supercomputer predicts where Tottenham will finish
After the loss to Nottingham Forest last week, Opta predicted that Spurs would finish in 11th place this season, and the data-analysis platform has now revised its prediction.
Following Tottenham’s 2-1 loss at home to Liverpool, Opta’s Supercomputer now predicts that Frank’s men may have to settle for a 13th-place finish.
The algorithm estimates that Spurs will finish with an expected points tally of 49.94 and gives the Lilywhites just a 1.05 per cent chance of qualifying for next season’s Champions League.
What will Thomas Frank have to achieve at Spurs this season?
Some experts think Tottenham would have to finish in the top six for Frank to keep his job, and the Lilywhites appear a long way off doing that at the moment.
While the Spurs hierarchy is continuing to keep faith in Frank for now, one would think that they will not entertain this mediocrity if it continues to persist.
Should the North London side still find themselves in the bottom half by the end of January, it is difficult to see how the 52-year-old’s job can be safe.
