Spurs managed to hand West Ham United their first win in 11 matches on Saturday as the Hammers stunned the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Change our mind: Tottenham must pay whatever it takes to SACK Thomas Frank…
Callum Wilson’s stoppage-time winner has seriously cranked up the pressure on Frank at Tottenham, with talks now taking place over his future.

The Lewis Family wanted to give Thomas Frank time at Tottenham
Alasdair Gold has revealed that the Lewis Family have been desperate to give Thomas Frank as much time as possible at Tottenham Hotspur.
Since the dismissal of Mauricio Pochettino back in 2019, the Lilywhites have appointed five different managers, and Frank looks set to be the latest to get the sack.
In Frank, Tottenham felt they were appointing a coach who got the right balance between being pragmatic and producing exciting football. But that hasn’t been the case.

The North London club’s hierarchy have been eager to give him time, but supporters made their feelings very clear during the defeat to West Ham.
Reporting on the situation, Gold told his YouTube channel: “The Lewis family, they’ve wanted to buck the trend at Tottenham of having this wheel of doom, which exists at Tottenham with sacked managers, new players having to be bought for them, rebuild, just frustration pretty much constantly at Tottenham.
Fill in the blank: My number one choice to replace Thomas Frank at Tottenham is ________________
“The powers that be right now, they’ve been desperate to give Thomas Frank, you know, every possible bit of time, I think, to stop the revolving door of managers that come into this football club.
“I think also trying to get him to a period where he can work with a bit more of a full-strength squad.”
The North London club are now holding internal talks over the Danish head coach’s future, with his future in real danger, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Lewis Family’s decision on Thomas Frank is now clear
The Lewis Family must now regrettably make the decision to change coach following yet another defeat in N17, despite their desire to give him time.
Tottenham have already lost nine Premier League matches this season, and a European finish is quickly drifting away from them.
There have been almost no green shoots under the manager, and losing to the team sitting 18th in the table is just a terrible look.
