Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank's job is hanging by a thread following another disappointing result in the Premier League.
Supporters once again called for his head, chanting 'you're getting sacked in the morning' with loud boos ringing around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium following the 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United on Tuesday night.
That stretched Spurs' winless run in the Premier League to eight games - they remain without a victory in 2026 in the top flight and face the prospect of league leaders and fierce north London rivals Arsenal arriving on their patch in little more than a week's time.
Tottenham Fans Know What Daniel Levy Would Have Done

Many supporters have claimed that were Daniel Levy still in charge - the ruthless former chairman - Frank would have been sacked long before now and it's hard to disagree.
Tottenham slipped to 16th in the table after the result against the Magpies and are now just five points clear of the relegation zone, following West Ham's 1-1 draw with Manchester United. It could have only been three points separating them from the drop zone, but for Benjamin Sesko's last-gasp equaliser against the Hammers at the London Stadium.
Tottenham now have 11 days before their next game - against Arsenal - giving the board of directors a chance to make a big decision.
BBC Sport's senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel believes that Thomas Frank being sacked "appears inevitable". However, he also delivered a worrying insight into things behind the scenes at Spurs.
Tottenham Making Plans For Manager Change

He added: "Such has been the level of contemplation regarding Frank's immediate future at Tottenham in recent weeks that this loss will almost certainly trigger further soul-searching from the club's leadership group.
"The fact the Spurs board have stuck by Frank during such a difficult period proves they want the appointment to work.
"Work towards a contingency plan in the event they make a decision they really don't want to make illustrates the precarity of Frank's position."
The news that the Tottenham hierarchy do not want to make the decision to sack the beleaguered Danish man will not endear themselves to a fanbase that already wants change, not just in the head coach, but from top to bottom at the club.
Tottenham Owners Need To Make Quick Decision

This situation calls for decisive action one way or another. If they want managerial stability and they believe Frank is the right man to take the club forward, come out and say it and back your head coach - like they should have done in the January transfer window.
If not, he needs to go now and bring someone in on an interim basis to save the sinking ship from the unthinkable - relegation to the Championship.
