Tottenham take on Newcastle tonight, knowing that a huge win is desperately needed.
Thomas Frank is under increasing pressure to get Tottenham back on track in the Premier League, with the class of 2026, one point shy of where last season’s team were under Ange Postecoglou at this stage.
Fill in the blank: It is _______ that Thomas Frank is STILL the manager of Tottenham Hotspur
Frankly – no pun intended – the Premier League performances under Thomas have been a million miles away from where they should be, and the head coach is now feeling the heat.
Saturday’s 2-0 defeat to Manchester United saw the wait go on for a domestic victory and with Newcastle in bad form coming into tonight too, Frank knows he needs a morale-boosting win.
Paul Scholes would take Tottenham player at Manchester United
It may come as a surprise that the player Scholes would love to see at Old Trafford is Cristian Romero.
The under-fire captain was dismissed again on Saturday for a needless tackle on Casemiro, leaving his team fighting a battle that they simply couldn’t win against United.
Romero signed for Tottenham for £43 million and after 152 appearances for the club, the former United midfielder thinks he’s growing frustrated in North London.
MORE SPURS STORIES
Scholes told the The Good, The Bad and The Football podcast: “Yeah, he’s p–sed off with Spurs, and he doesn’t want to be there. He’s had a go at the crowd, he’s had a go at the board. I think he’s had to check out of Spurs a little bit. You know, I’d love him at United”
Tottenham facing really big decision on Romero
It perhaps wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world for Tottenham to cash in on Romero at the end of the season.
The defender has proven time and time again that he just can’t help himself when it comes to needless red cards, and Spurs could perhaps target a quality centre-back in the summer.
Cristian Romero should be stripped of the Tottenham captaincy after this…
He has let his team down way too many times! 😠
It’s hard to fathom that United would make a move for Romero, although with Harry Maguire likely to leave, there is a small chance they will go for a defender during the summer.
Tottenham certainly have a big decision to make over their captain, and if he continues letting his teammates down, he could soon be on his way out of the club.
