Tottenham Urged to Hire ‘Incredible’ Manager if They Sack Postecoglou

Following another defeat for Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham, the London club have been tipped to move for Brentford boss Thomas Frank.

After Chelsea’s 4-3 win at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium on Sunday afternoon, pressure is continuing to mount on Ange Postecoglou. Tottenham have been poor once again this season, and may look to make a change in the dugout. Adam Crafton, a reporter for The Athletic, has singled out Brentford manager Thomas Frank as a man who could take the helm at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

At Brentford, Frank, who plays ‘incredible’ football according to former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, has continued to improve and adapt to make them very competitive, and has the Bees sat ninth in the Premier League, three points above Tottenham. With one of the best home records in Europe, Thomas Frank has made the Gtech Community Stadium a fortress, so it makes a lot of sense for him to be ready for a move to a European club.

Why Spurs May Need to Change Manager

Things aren’t working under Ange.

Sunday’s defeat to Chelsea was Tottenham’s fourth defeat in their last seven games, with just one win coming during that time. Unusually, their solitary victory was away at the champions, Man City, and defeats have come against Ipswich, and Bournemouth, among others.

After finishing fifth in his first season, just two points shy of a place in the Champions League, there was a lot of optimism coming into this season. After the big money acquisition of Dominic Solanke, fans expected Spurs to kick on, and consolidate themselves in the Champions League places. However, this has not been the case, and Ange has struggled to get much of a tune out of his side.

Sat in the bottom half of the table after 15 games, it may be time for Daniel Levy to change manager and give the reigns to someone else. Although they have had a number of key players injured, Tottenham haven’t been at their best for a lot of this season, and they may decide to approach Thomas Frank about taking the job.

The Score: Our verdict on every Premier League team after Gameweek 14

Arsenal are one-trick ponies being left behind, Bournemouth’s super subs, Chelsea show the mark of champions and Ruben Amorim’s shaky Man Utd experiment

With the Merseyside derby off for bad weather, Arsenal and Chelsea both got the chance to make up some ground on the leaders on Sunday.

Chelsea took that chance with a comeback win against a shambolic Tottenham, who are rarely playing in any other way. Arsenal lost ground with a 1-1 draw at Fulham, while Manchester City also dropped points after a draw in London.

Below those two there is a huge scrum of teams all the way down to tenth, separated by just two points. Top of that pile are Nottingham Forest, who ended a bad week for Ruben Amorim with a 3-1 win at Old Trafford. Aston Villa have recovered some form with consecutive wins, while Brentford might be the best home team in Europe. Weird.

At the bottom, Leicester City clawed back a two-goal deficit but Ipswich Town did basically the opposite and are now slipping further behind. Southampton did some excellent Southampton-ing and Russell Martin seemed to blame the fans. Bold play.
