Winless in five, three losses, two draws and 15 goals conceded. Tottenham, the reigning Europa League champions, are having a torrid period.
With results like these, fans have every reason to be worried about the club’s direction. Questions are growing over the head coach’s leadership, and speculations about a potential Thomas Frank sacking are starting to gather momentum, alongside debates on whether parting ways with Postecoglou was the right move.
“When will Tottenham get it right?” is the question ringing loudly among fans and pundits as the club continues to stumble on the domestic front in what is quickly becoming a full-blown Tottenham crisis. Their European triumph last season, felt like a stroke of fortune – an isolated high point in a season where their Premier League form never quite matched their performances on the continent.
In Gameweek 13 of the Premier League, Tottenham travelled to St. James’ Park to face Newcastle, and although the match ended in a 2-2 draw, some fans remained dissatisfied with the team’s performance. Spurs managed just two shots during the 90 minutes, both coming from defender and captain Cristian Romero, whose stunning overhead kick six minutes into added time rescued a point.
Thomas Frank Sack Conversations: Fans Make Their Voices Heard as Thomas Frank Finds Himself Under Pressure to Prove He’s the Right Man for Tottenham
What the Fans Are Saying
- “Have to just be real about things sometimes. Thomas Frank should still be the manager of Brentford. We lost the must-win game.”
2. “This is what happens when you hire a manager who has only ever got mid-table.”
3. “Under no circumstances should Frank still be in charge on Tuesday. Dreadful. Get him gone. Quickly.”
4. “That is totally on the manager, we managed to get some momentum in the second half DESPITE him, score a goal and then his subs completely killed the game. He’s got to go.”
5. “Going to bed, and waking up to see Thomas Frank sack news is the only thing that’ll make my day. He’s got to go.”
These are just a few of the comments flooding social media – especially X – from angry and frustrated Tottenham Hotspur fans who have watched their side slump to three defeats in four games. Against Chelsea, Spurs managed just one shot on target in the entire 90 minutes, and in the North London Derby, they were thoroughly outrun and outplayed.
After 13 league matches last season under Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham sat seventh in the Premier League table with 20 points. This time around, under Thomas Frank, they find themselves down in 10th with just 18 points – a clear sign that, at this stage, they were actually two points better off last season than they are now and that the Thomas Frank sack talk is coming from a place of genuine concern rather than overreaction.
These performances have laid bare the depth of the current Tottenham crisis, making it clear that significant adjustments are urgently needed, as Thomas Frank faces mounting pressure to halt the slide and restore faith among supporters.
Tottenham Struggling Without Son: Fact or Excuse?
The former Tottenham striker, who spent 10 years at the club, scoring 127 Premier League goals, decided it was time to leave the club after helping his team win their first-ever European competition in their history.
The 33-year-old South Korean moved to MLS, joining Los Angeles FC, where he has already contributed 15 goals and assists in just 13 games – numbers that would be invaluable to his former side in boosting the attack that has lost its firepower in recent games and help them turn their season around.
Losing Son’s creative spark – and with new signings not yet settling into the team – together with the team having won just two of their last 10 matches in all competitions, Thomas Frank finds himself under pressure to prove he can keep Tottenham competitive in the Premier League without his talisman.
Tottenham’s New Signings Struggle to Make Their Mark
Bournemouth have managed just one away win, Fulham have only one away victory all season, and Wolves have picked up a solitary point on the road – all at Tottenham’s expense.
Given the quality of signings Spurs brought in over the summer, it’s shocking to suggest that the team lacked the talent to at least compete and create chances in these matches, let alone secure victories.
Dropping points against teams in the relegation battle has intensified the Tottenham crisis and raised serious debates about whether giving him more time is the best option, as this is his first season, or if the Thomas Frank sack narrative is justified.
Signing quality players is a smart move, but it’s not enough on its own. Maximising their playing time, building their confidence, and managing them effectively all fall on the head coach, and now Thomas Frank finds himself under pressure to get his players performing at their best.

Tottenham: Worst-Ranked Premier League Side for Defensive Stats
Defensively, the Tottenham crisis is in full view.
The reason Spurs haven’t conceded more than the 18 goals they’ve let in so far, is largely down to the brilliance of goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, who has already prevented 3.55 goals this season, as the 13 goals conceded in their last four games make clear.
Thomas Frank’s team have been far too sloppy at the back, repeatedly caught out by simple mistakes. Currently, Tottenham are the worst team when it comes to Premier League errors leading to goals (three) and, even more worryingly, errors leading to shots (15).
It is no secret that Tottenham supporters are growing increasingly frustrated with the defensive frailties and lack of cohesion, and some are calling for a Thomas Frank sacking. With the squad underperforming and mistakes mounting, Thomas Frank finds himself under pressure to tighten the defence, restore discipline, and prove that he can turn Spurs into a competitive force once again.
Conclusion
“It’s the history of Tottenham,” as Giorgio Chiellini once said. That history doesn’t have to repeat itself, but three straight defeats, a sliding league position and a fanbase in open revolt mean the Thomas Frank sack question is no longer a matter of “if” for many – it’s “when.”
The team’s current struggles are a stark reminder that success in football is never guaranteed, even with a talented squad. Losing a talisman like Son, coupled with new signings still finding their feet, has exposed cracks in both the team and managerial approach.
Thomas Frank faces the daunting task of restoring confidence, instilling consistency, and turning Spurs back into a side feared across the Premier League.
