Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank is under more pressure right now than any other coach in world football, and week after week, all he does is sink himself further into the abyss by continually making the wrong decisions and setting his team up for disaster.
Spurs just got knocked out of the FA Cup Third Round against Aston Villa, days after losing to Bournemouth in the Premier League. Tottenham are buried in the bottom half of the league, and despite Spurs actually supporting Frank a lot more on the transfer market than they did for predecessors like Ange Postecoglou and even Antonio Conte, Frank continues to turn in embarrassing results.
The latest untenable disaster came on Saturday in front of the home fans, who watched as Tottenham lost 2-1 to rivals West Ham United, one of the worst teams in the Premier League. Generally, West Ham are the team you are supposed to bounce back against and get things right, and perhaps nothing highlights how much worse things are getting for Spurs and how dire the situation is under Frank than the fact that Spurs lost to the Hammers after beating them 3-0 on the road earlier this season.
Tottenham fans are done
Spurs supporters had the only sensible, genuine reaction to the Thomas Frank disaster class against West Ham. As The Spurs Express relays, Tottenham Hotspur fans serenaded their manager with "You're getting sacked in the morning," during the game with massive boos afterwards. And the most common hashtag on social media directed at Frank is #FrankOut.
The sentiment had been growing for weeks, if not months, and it is now unanimous. For the vast, vast majority of Tottenham supporters, the only acceptable outcome for Frank at this point is for him to be fired swiftly on Sunday so that Spurs can end this farce and get on with their manager search. Even if the next coach is not someone as big of a name as Xavi or Xabi Alonso, nobody can be doing a worse job than Frank is right now.
Perhaps the most biting criticism of Frank is that Tottenham fans feel hopeless, knowing that there is no way things get better from here. Frank has shown no growth, only continued cowardice and a total lack of understanding of who his best players are. He has given Spurs no confidence that things will get better, and a sack fresh in the morning is the best course of action now.
