The future of Thomas Frank as the head coach of Tottenham Hotspur is now up in the air.
A defeat in stoppage time to West Ham United has set the alarm bells ringing in North London, with Tottenham now considering parting with Frank.
Spurs were poor against the Hammers. Callum Wilson’s goal in stoppage time sent the away end into delirium and handed the visitors a fighting chance of beating the drop.
Tottenham now face Dortmund in midweek in horrendous form of late, and Frank knows that he desperately needs a positive performance from somewhere.
Spurs parted with Ange Postecoglou after he led the team to Europa League glory in the summer, and one man has now taken aim at Frank following his start to life at the club.
Ramon Vega takes aim at Thomas Frank after Tottenham start
The Premier League table once again makes for grim reading for Tottenham, with the club still languishing in 14th place.
Losing to West Ham is pretty much a non-negotiable for Tottenham, and it’s quite disappointing just how easy the game proved for the Hammers.
Vega has now taken to social media to have a rant about the state of the club since Frank came in, believing that Postecoglou might have been sacked a little bit prematurely.

He posted: “Ange was absolutely slaughtered in the media last year, even after winning a trophy after over 25 years. This guy, who has not even won a Danish pastry as a coach, is being treated like a messiah! WHY??? By sacking Ange, who has created a team spirit, won a trophy, and made the fans proud again, the Board has underestimated the importance of getting close to fans and the spirit of the club; in fact, it has been killed by appointing Frank. This is the most important part of a dressing room and also reflects the fans fostering positive togetherness. It’s toxic at the moment at the highest level, not even in my time in 98’ did we have such a toxic atmosphere. COYS.”
Change our mind: Tottenham were wrong to sack Ange Postecoglou…
Frank needs a positive week at Tottenham
Beating Dortmund will be hard but not impossible for Tottenham, and with Burnley to come at the weekend, Frank is desperate for some positive results.
Pining for Postecoglou isn’t really a good look for Vega, with 17th place in the Premier League far from good enough for the players he had at his disposal.
The atmosphere is an intriguing one though and Vega perhaps does have a point that Frank has done little to seemingly get the players buying into his methods.
It’s going to be hard for Frank to completely recover from this position and two bad results this week will almost certainly signal the end of the head coach after a matter of months in North London.
