Tottenham Hotspur are without a win in their last eight Premier League games, with last night’s 2-1 defeat against Newcastle United leaving them five points above the relegation zone.
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club have now lost 11 league games this term, and manager Thomas Frank is under more pressure.
He insisted last night that his position is safe. However, according to the BBC’s Sami Mokbel, Tottenham have explored contingencies if they decide to sack him.
Spurs are back in action on February 22 when they host league leaders Arsenal, and they have enough time to bring in a replacement if they axe Frank.
While injuries to key players have not helped, the Tottenham boss will have no excuses if a defeat to Arsenal drops the team into the relegation zone.
It is unclear whether he will be in charge of the game, and few people would be surprised if he is shown the exit door in the coming days.
Defeats against Nottingham Forest, Fulham, Bournemouth and West Ham United have left many people questioning his ability.
Spurs finished 17th in the Premier League last term and have not improved on the domestic front despite sacking Ange Postecoglou last summer as a result of their woeful domestic campaign.
They could be in a relegation battle if significant improvements do not take place sooner rather than later, and sacking Frank could be the most prudent option.
