Thomas Frank could face the sack at Tottenham very shortly.
Frank is under increasing pressure in North London, as his reign in the dugout has not gone as expected.
The ex-Brentford boss was expected to turn the club around after a dismal 17th-placed finish in the Premier League last season under Ange Postecoglou.
However, that has not been the case and they currently find themselves sitting 14th in the table after 21 matches.
When could Thomas Frank be sacked by Tottenham?
John Wenham believes that Frank is coming towards the end of his tenure at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, if results do not pick up fast.

Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, he said: “When I spoke to you last week, I was saying the one thing that he had left was that he didn’t have James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke.
“However, the performance in the first-half against Aston Villa was unacceptable, it now means it is three wins in the last 13 games, very few wins all season, and that includes wins against the likes of Burnley, Everton, Copenhagen, Slavia Prague and Doncaster.
“I think you have to consider now that he started the job in June, he has had well over six months at Tottenham, there is no style of play, no identity, the team mix and matches each week, there is no sort of plan as to how we are trying to proceed and what the intention of Thomas Frank’s Tottenham looks like.
“I think on that basis, when there is no identity and plan, and you add in the horrendous results, for a club of Tottenham’s standings, we have to be up there challenging for the top four of the Premier League.
“When he was brought in, it was made clear that Ange Postecoglou was replaced because Spurs needed to compete on four fronts, we are out of the Carabao Cup, out of the FA Cup, and sitting 14th in the Premier League.
“It is not acceptable, but by any standards, to where now, I think Tottenham maybe would be better holding off their money, and rolling it over to the next permanent appointment.
“I cannot see Thomas Frank remaining at Tottenham much longer, huge match coming up against West Ham on Saturday, then Dortmund in the Champions League then Burnley away.
“If there are not positive results against West Ham and Burnley, there needs to be two wins in both of those games, otherwise, I cannot see a basis for people saying he should stay at the club.”
Does Frank deserve more time at Tottenham?
Unfortunately for the Dane, the answer is a complicated one.
The principle of allowing a manager time to build his own team and put his own stamp on things is all well and good in theory.
However, when results on the pitch are not going the right way, and the Lilywhites are sitting towards the bottom end of the league, with no realistic chance to win a trophy, it is hard to change perceptions.
Ultimately, as Wenham states, his time may be up, if they cannot secure all three points against both the Hammers and Burnley.
