Time and time again, Thomas Frank has embarrassed himself as Tottenham Hotspur manager, and the club may already be suffering the consequences for their poor preparation. By not having a contingency plan for Frank being awful and needing to be replaced mid season, Spurs are forced to keep Frank through the Tuesday night Champions League battle against Borussia Dortmund.
As Tottenham fans in the stadium who witnessed the horrid 2-1 loss to West Ham United on Saturday were chanting at Frank, he really should have been fired swiftly on Sunday morning for his latest disaster class.
Instead, Frank gets a few more days to screw things up at the club, and, of course, he only needed those few days to do more damage. Throughout the season, Frank has been treating Mathys Tel so badly that despite being fully COYS since day one, even as a loanee from Bayern Munich, the Frenchman now wants the rest of the season away from Tottenham in order to actually play.
Fire Thomas Frank into the sun
Frank ticked him off - and literally everyone in the fan base as the crowd booed - by subbing him off against West Ham despite Tel being his best attacker. He could have taken off the lazy, indolent Randal Kolo Muani for a display so embarrassing that everyone wants him gone from the club now, but instead he hooked off Tel yet again in one more display of utter stupidity.
And stupid is as stupid does, as Frank proved on Monday, mindlessly pulling Mathys Tel from the Tottenham Hotspur Champions League squad the literal day before Dortmund, replacing him with a subpar Dominic Solanke who has barely played this season due to injury and is still literally yet to make start, having only just returned from a nagging injury.
Fabrizio Romano is reporting to the surprise of nobody that Tel and his camp are royally upset with Frank's latest dreadful snub. As Paris FC in Ligue 1 push harder and harder to acquire Tel on loan, Tel may be pushed more and more towards demanding an exit. Fab says Tel and his camp are "not happy at all" with what Frank did.
Nor should they be - and nor are the fans. Tottenham supporters want Frank out NOW before he can do further damage like this absolutely insane bit of managerial malpractice. Frank is somehow already a contender for being the worst manager in Tottenham history, and if he costs them Tel after this blunder, his legacy will forever be a stenching stain at the N17.
