A new report has now shed light on just how dangerously close Thomas Frank is to being sacked by Tottenham Hotspur.
Despite his best efforts, the Dane is struggling to turn around the Lilywhites’ fortunes, with Tottenham having not won any of their last seven matches in the Premier League.
Relegation now appears a serious threat for the North Londoners, who are now just five points above 18th-placed West Ham.

Following Spurs’ 2-0 loss at Old Trafford last Saturday, Frank now officially has the worst record of any permanent manager of any of the ‘big six’ clubs in Premier League history, and it appears patience is now wearing thin at N17.
Tottenham could sack Thomas Frank if he loses against Newcastle
TEAMtalk have now claimed that the former Brentford boss could be one match away from being sacked, with the club’s decision makers ‘at the end of their tether’ after recent results.
It is revealed that, according to well-placed sources at Spurs, the club have now reached ‘a breaking point’ and a defeat this evening against Newcastle could seal Frank’s fate.
The outlet also points out that bookmakers now list the 52-year-old as the overwhelming favourite to be the next Premier League boss dismissed.

What Spurs are expected to do if they sack Frank
TEAMtalk say that if the Lilywhites do make the decision to sack the Danish coach, they are likely to appoint an interim coach until the end of the season.
John Heitinga, who joined as Spurs’ first-team assistant coach less than a month ago, could be handed the reins until the summer.
The report backs up what we have heard from other sources over recent weeks by stating that Mauricio Pochettino would jump at the chance to return to Spurs in the summer, as the Argentine has no plans to extend his contract with the United States beyond the World Cup.
