Tottenham are facing a huge Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund tonight, and there are doubts surrounding Thomas Frank.
The man appointed as the head coach in the summer following a number of years with Brentford is seemingly on borrowed time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
It was claimed after a 2-1 defeat to West Ham that Frank’s future was now under consideration at Tottenham, with certain board members unhappy with recent results.
Spurs crashed out of the FA Cup in an ill-tempered game against Aston Villa, while the team are languishing in 14th place in the Premier League table after a drab first half of the campaign.
All eyes will be on the game tonight, which is sizeable for Tottenham, but in the background, it looks as though it’s firmly a case of no smoke without fire at the football club.
Dean Jones makes huge Thomas Frank claim
Transfer guru and reputable journalist Dean Jones has been discussing the future of Frank on his Transfers from Paradise platform.
He believes that whatever happens tonight, Tottenham will be parting ways with Frank in the aftermath, with an interim coach seemingly set to take over proceedings at Burnley on Saturday.

Jones said: “Also look out for big news on Thomas Frank. I am told on pretty good authority that Tuesday will be his final day as Spurs manager. I know you Tottenham fans will hope that turns out to be true!”
Frank hasn’t really covered himself in glory at Tottenham and all the positive things he did at Brentford seem to have escaped him in North London for whatever reason.
Spurs may have to wait for next permanent manager
It’s all good and well sending Frank on his way, but what comes next for Spurs?
Oliver Glasner and Andoni Iraola are out of contract at Crystal Palace and Bournemouth, respectively, but not until the end of the season, with both managers still likely feeling they have work to complete.
Change our mind: Tottenham were wrong to sack Ange Postecoglou…
Xabi Alonso might fancy a crack at the Premier League, but it’s claimed that he wants to rest until the summer after his short spell with Real Madrid came to a premature end.
As a result, Tottenham might have to put an interim in place – just as Manchester United have – and then reassess things properly in the summer when another reset will likely take place.
Frank’s potential departure is good news for the Tottenham fan base, but there is still a small feeling that things might get worse before they get better in the short term.
