Tottenham Hotspur must sack Thomas Frank as soon as possible after his side were beaten 2-1 at home by relegation-battling West Ham on Saturday afternoon.
Spurs fell behind to a deflected Crysencio Summerville strike in the first half, before captain Cristian Romero headed home an equaliser midway through the second half. But the north London outfit turned one point to none in second-half stoppage time as substitute Callum Wilson netted in the 93rd minute, leaving them 14th in the table with just 27 points from their 22 games.
With the game dubbed as El Sackico, Tottenham now have a major decision to make on the future of their manager, but there is an easy route for them to take to get fans back on side.
Frank Must be Sacked, Glasner Appointed
Spurs have been linked with a number of managerial appointments in recent weeks as pressure grows on Frank, and one name who has consistently been mentioned is Austrian Oliver Glasner.
The Crystal Palace boss revealed in his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon that he would be leaving the Eagles at the end of the season when his contract expires, as he seeks a 'new challenge' in his career. He followed that up with a 2-1 defeat away at Sunderland, with many fans concerned that he may have already checked out of Selhurst Park.
Glasner spoke to the media after the game and criticised the Palace board, claiming he felt 'abandoned', and blasted their decision to sell Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi just one day before games at different points this season.
But with Frank's time at the club surely nearer to an end than ever before, it would make a lot of sense for Spurs to test the waters and look to bring Glasner in now for the second half of the campaign, to try and save their season.
Described as 'world-class', Glasner came in to Palace midways through their season in 2024 and saved them from a relegation battle before turning them into FA Cup winners the following season and playing European football.
A similar outcome for Spurs would be considered a miracle at this stage, and the board should be doing all they can to convince Glasner himself and Palace that a parting of ways before the summer is best for all involved.
Glasner Not Glamorous, But Effective
Some Spurs fans may have reservations about the style of football that Glasner could bring, considering his pragmatic approach at Palace, but he has previously shown at Frankfurt that he is adaptable and capable of playing free-flowing, attacking football too.
It's also fair to say that Tottenham aren't in a position where they can be overly picky right now. Results must be the priority, and Glasner wins more often than he doesn't. With a squad as talented as the one available at Tottenham, he could work wonders.
