Thomas Frank has been sacked as Tottenham Hotspur manager, with the stats behind his tenure showcasing why the club were forced to take the drastic decision of changing the man at the helm.
The writing had long been on the wall for Frank with the Dane enduring chants of "you're getting sacked in the morning" from his own fans during the 2-1 defeat to Newcastle on Tuesday as well as boos following the full-time whistle, a feature that has become all too common at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The club's dire Premier League form proved too hard to ignore for a Spurs hierarchy that had previously committed to Frank's long-term project in north London.
