The pressure on Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank has intensified dramatically after his side fell to a two-goal deficit at home against Fulham, prompting a chorus of boos from the home supporters.
A Dismal Run of Form
Spurs entered the match on the back of a torrid spell of results. Their return to Premier League action was marked by a feeble 4-1 loss to North London rivals Arsenal. While they showed more fighting spirit in a midweek Champions League fixture, they were ultimately defeated 5-3 by Paris Saint-Germain in an eight-goal thriller. The problems, however, run deeper than recent high-scoring defeats. Before the clash with Fulham, Tottenham had managed to secure just a single victory in their six previous league games at home this season.
Fulham Capitalise on Spurs' Woes
Facing a Fulham side that had yet to win an away match in the Premier League this campaign, this was seen as a crucial opportunity for Frank to steady the ship. Instead, the match turned into a nightmare. Fulham's Kenny Tete and Harry Wilson scored twice within the first six minutes, leaving Spurs shell-shocked. The half-time whistle was met with loud disapproval from the Tottenham faithful, a clear indicator of the growing discontent.
Who Could Replace Thomas Frank?
Should the Tottenham hierarchy decide to make a change, the bookmakers have already identified several leading contenders. The favourites to potentially take over at the North London club are a mix of established and emerging managerial talent. According to the latest odds, the frontrunners are all priced at 20/1 and include the legendary Zinedine Zidane, Brighton's young coach Fabian Hurzeler, former Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst, and Norwegian tactician Kjetil Knutsen. The outcome of the Fulham match could prove decisive in determining Frank's immediate future.
