Fabrizio Romano drops major Thomas Frank Tottenham sack update
Fabrizio Romano has issued a concerning update on the future of struggling Tottenham Hotspur head coach Thomas Frank, admitting that the Dane’s position in north London is now “not safe” after Spurs’ damaging 2-1 defeat to West Ham United on Saturday.
The loss extended Tottenham’s miserable run to five matches without a win in all competitions, with Callum Wilson striking deep into injury time to snatch all three points for the Hammers. It was another painful setback in a season that continues to unravel for Spurs, and one that left supporters increasingly frustrated with the direction of the club.
At full-time, large sections of the crowd at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium made their feelings clear. Frank and his players were booed off the pitch, while chants of “you’re getting sacked in the morning” echoed around the South Stand. The pressure on the 50-year-old coach is now intensifying, and his grip on the job is beginning to look increasingly fragile in N17.
Tottenham Hold Internal Talks Over Frank’s Position
The coming days could prove decisive for Tottenham, especially with a crucial UEFA Champions League encounter against Borussia Dortmund looming on Tuesday night. A positive result in Europe could buy Frank time, but another poor performance may push the board toward a drastic decision.
Until recently, the Lewis family and Spurs’ hierarchy were believed to be backing Frank through the difficult spell, citing injuries and squad disruption as mitigating factors. However, the latest defeat to West Ham appears to have shaken that confidence.
GIVEMESPORT understands that discussions are already taking place behind the scenes regarding Frank’s future, and Romano has now reinforced those claims. Speaking on his YouTube channel, the Italian transfer expert revealed that Tottenham’s attempt to show unity has not eased the situation.
Romano explained:
“Tottenham tried to show support for Thomas Frank by appointing John Heitinga as part of the backroom staff during the week, but then over the weekend Tottenham lose again. Now the situation is very, very complicated for Thomas Frank at Tottenham.
“His job is at serious risk. Let’s see what happens in the next hours and days, but the situation of Thomas Frank at Tottenham is not safe at this stage. They could change the manager. Let’s see if it’s now or if they give him the opportunity to try to turn things around, but the atmosphere is very tense.
“Thomas Frank is fighting to keep his job at Tottenham, but the club will decide very soon. Internal talks are taking place. The situation of Thomas Frank is in danger.”
Those comments underline just how quickly the mood has shifted at Spurs, with patience wearing thin as results continue to disappoint in both domestic and European competition.
Managerial Dominoes Could Fall
Tottenham’s situation mirrors other recent managerial upheavals across the Premier League. Just as Enzo Maresca and Ruben Amorim departed Chelsea and Manchester United within days of one another, another quick succession of changes could be on the horizon.
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner is also facing uncertainty after a public outburst aimed at the Eagles’ ownership following their defeat to Sunderland. His remarks suggested deep frustration with recruitment and squad management, putting his own future in doubt.
Oliver Glasner Emerging As A Candidate
Speaking after Palace’s loss, Glasner did not hold back:
“I feel we are being abandoned completely. I can’t blame any player. They did everything they could and this has been going on for weeks and months now. We have 12 or 13 players from the squad available and we feel no support.
“The worst thing is selling our captain one day before playing a Premier League game. We are preparing, it’s the first full week we are training since September, and then we are selling our captain one day before a game. I have no understanding of this.”
With Glasner’s contract expiring at the end of the season, there is a growing sense he may walk away before then. Should both managers exit their respective clubs, the Austrian is already being touted as one of the leading candidates to replace Frank at Tottenham.
For now, Frank remains in charge, but with results deteriorating, fan unrest growing, and internal discussions underway, the next few days may define whether he survives or becomes the next casualty in a turbulent Premier League season.
