Thomas Frank is under huge pressure at Tottenham after their defeat to Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
Spurs lost 3-0 away to Sean Dyche’s side, who are now just four points behind them in the Premier League standings despite being in the relegation dog fight for several months.
At this stage last season, Ange Postecoglou‘s Spurs had one more point than Frank has achieved this term, and as we all know, that campaign turned out to be the North London club’s worst ever in the history of the Premier League.
Frank’s future as Tottenham’s manager was called into question on Match of the Day on Sunday night, with fans angry about the lack of progress the ex-Brentford boss has overseen since replacing Postecoglou in the summer.
Ex-Tottenham chairman Lord Alan Sugar has already called for Jurgen Klopp to replace Frank, while Brendan Rodgers has also emerged as a potential candidate for the job, if Spurs were to sack the under-pressure Dane.
