Tottenham insider says how & when Tottenham could sack Thomas Frank, 'already lost complete faith'

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank is still in sack danger.

Frank eased some of the pressure with Tottenham’s 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund, but he is still under scrutiny.

Spurs have little chance of winning a trophy this season, having been knocked out of both domestic cups, and sit 14th in the Premier League table.

A new timeframe for when Frank could be dismissed has emerged ahead of a crucial week for the Danish boss.

New Tottenham sack timeline emerges for Thomas Frank

John Wenham believes that Frank will be sacked if the Lilywhites lose against Burnley and Frankfurt, meaning it is a vital week for the ex-Brentford manager.

He thinks that the 52-year-old has already lost a huge portion of the fanbase, and only victory against the German side, could turn things around given what it means for their Champions League progress.

Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, he said: “I think the issue is though, is that a lot of the match-going fans that pay a huge amount of money have already lost complete faith in Thomas Frank.

“A lot probably depends on this Frankfurt game. Say we lose at Burnley and then we lose at Frankfurt and we end up not finishing in that top eight when we’re in such a good position to do so. I could then see him being sacked.”

“So I think a lot rides on that Frankfurt game, but I do expect Tottenham to go and win that game, so you know, it’ll come down to how the players perform on the night, but that Frankfurt game is massive for the club now, really is.

“You know, to have had the disappointing start they’ve had, but turn around and say, oh, we finished third in the Champions League table or fourth or whatever it would be with a win there, you know, that would put a lot of the pressure away, I think.”

Tottenham fans surely have to back Frank if he achieves top eight

Surely as Wenham states, if Frank secures a top-eight finish in Europe’s premier competition, some supporters will come around and back him.

It will still be a difficult job to convince the ones who are ardently against Frank, and want him sacked no matter what, but it will help if he can progress to the latter stages of the competition.

Obviously, he needs to improve the Premier League form too, but it would be such a big achievement to not have a knockout play-off round clash, and go straight through instead, especially with the squad at his disposal.

If the manager stays, then he needs significant backing in the transfer market, to have any chance of taking the North London club forward.
