Thomas Frank is under immense pressure at Tottenham Hotspur, with a huge section of the crowd chanting 'you're getting sacked in the morning' at him after the dismal 2-1 defeat to West Ham on Saturday afternoon.
Just a week-and-a-half on from curing Bournemouth, who had not won in 11 games prior to facing Spurs, Dr Tottenham were at it again for the Hammers, who came to N17 and won for the first time in 11 games, having failed to win any of their previous ten.
West Ham love beating Spurs, such is the rivalry between the two clubs, and having had very little to cheer about this season, causing Tottenham further pain would have lifted the fans somewhat.
Thomas Frank Accepts Spurs Fans Chants
The Spurs fans, however, have let their feelings be known on numerous occasions this season, and booing the players off the pitch has become normal behaviour.
Some Tottenham fans joined in with the Aston Villa fans' chanting 'you're getting sacked in the morning' during the FA Cup defeat last weekend. There were thousands more singing that very song on Saturday at the final whistle.
Speaking after the defeat, Frank said: "I've probably had better times, it's probably not the best time of course. But I understand, I'm the man in charge. So the blame will go to me.
"That's fair, no problem in that sense. As long as they are backing the players, doing everything they can, to support them and drive them forward, that's what we do, and we will keep going forward."
Frank has retained the backing of the Spurs hierarchy throughout a tumultuous season, but tensions are getting frayed and according to TalkSport there are talks behind the scenes now as to whether to stick with him or sack him.
Will Thomas Frank Be Sacked?
Frank's future is hanging in the balance, with a final decision to be made by CEO Vinai Venkatesham, who sent an open letter to the Tottenham supporters on Saturday morning - a message that did not mention Frank.
Tottenham take on Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night, knowing a win would guarantee them a spot in at least the play-offs for the last 16. Whether Frank is still in the dugout remains to be seen, however.
There are plenty of names in the frame to replace him, should he be sacked and one manager who will forever be linked with a return to the club is Mauricio Pochettino. The Argentinian was arguably one of the most successful Spurs managers of the modern era - despite not winning a trophy - getting the team playing the Spurs way in an entertaining five-year spell in north London.
He will guide the USA at the World Cup in 2026 but will become a free agent thereafter, leading to plenty of speculation that he could make a heroic return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before the 2026/27 season begins.
Mauricio Pochettino Dreaming Of Return
Pochettino is understood to be open to returning to Spurs this summer, and has spoken about having unfinished business at the club in a number of interviews before.
"In the bottom of my heart, I still feel the same, I would like one day to come back" he said. "Not because of my ego, it is because my feeling is I would like one day to win with Tottenham. We were so close, and it was so painful.
"Now Tottenham is a club with an expectation to win because if you see the facilities – training ground or stadium – now you can see it is about winning trophies.
"That's why I would like one day to come back with all the possibilities again to build something special. If that doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. But that is my feeling, and it didn't change. It is always going to be a special club for me."
