Thomas Frank sacked after dismal spell at Spurs
Spurs have finally parted ways with the unpopular Dane after a disastrous tenure that left the north London club on the brink of relegation, a decision announced this morning following Tuesday’s 2-1 loss to Newcastle.
Frank’s dismissal became inevitable after Tottenham fans organized protests during the defeat to Newcastle, chanting “Sack me in the morning” and repeatedly calling for Frank’s sacking for weeks.

Frank’s Premier League The statistics are particularly shocking, to say the least.

The club currently sit in 16th place, just five points above the relegation zone, so their stellar run in the Champions League isn’t enough to cover up their poor domestic form.
The north Londoners are also without a win in eight league games this year, their longest top-flight drought in 17 years.
The team has only won two of its last 17 Premier League games, which is completely unacceptable for a club that won the Europa League last year and was one of the so-called “top six”.

Wilson Odobert faces ‘months’ absence after Tottenham injury
Indeed, Wilson Odobert will now face “several months” out of action after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during Tuesday’s 2-1 loss, according to Le Parisien and journalist Benjamin Quares.
The 21-year-old went down in pain just 35 minutes after an awkward collision with Harvey Barnes, hitting his left knee on the turf while challenging for possession.
Matthijs Terl immediately replaced his compatriot as Odobert trudged along the tunnel for further assessment.
Scans on Wednesday morning showed the extent of the devastating damage parisian The former PSG academy graduate will reportedly need surgery to treat a “serious” injury that could end his season.
Recovery time from a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament typically takes more than nine months, effectively eliminating the possibility of Didier Deschamps’ France qualifying for this summer’s World Cup.
The devastating setback adds to Tottenham’s already nightmare injury crisis, with 11 first-team players missing including Mohamed Kudus, Richarlison, Ben Davies, Destiny Udoji, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski.
Odobert’s absence is another headache for whoever replaces Thomas Frank following the sacking of Dane Thomas Frank, leaving the new manager desperately short of attacking options ahead of the crucial north London derby against Arsenal on February 22.
