Tottenham Hotspur are without a win in their last eight Premier League games, with a 2-1 defeat at Newcastle United last night leaving them five points above the relegation zone. The club has lost 11 league games this season, with Tottenham boss Thomas Frank facing increased pressure. He insisted last night that his position was safe, but according to the BBC’s Sami Mokbel, Tottenham have explored possible surprises if they decide to end his reign.
Spurs return to action on February 22, hosting league leaders Arsenal in a north London derby, giving them plenty of time to bring in a replacement if they move on from Frank. Fans are already calling for his head, with the majority of the home crowd booing him and the team on Tuesday night. While injuries to key players haven’t helped, the Spurs boss will have no excuses if defeat to Arsenal results in the team slipping into the relegation zone.
