Thomas Frank to be sacked if Spurs pick up yet another defeat at St James’ Park against Newcastle United?

Is Thomas Frank now on the brink of getting sacked by Spurs?

Since 24 September, the North London side have won only three matches.

If they fail to win at St James’ Park on Tuesday night, this will make it three wins in fifteen games for Spurs, in all competitions.

Thomas Frank and his players were booed by their own fans on Saturday, as they lost at home to Fulham.

Spurs are currently on a run of only one win in their last seven games, conceding 16 goals in the five defeats and one draw. The only victory in those seven games at home against a weak FC Copenhagen side.

This run of seven matches began with the 2-0 Carabao Cup defeat to Newcastle United at St James’ Park in late October.

Having been backed with almost £200m of signings this summer, Thomas Frank will be feeling the pressure.

Spurs fans and the club hierarchy proving quick to turn on their managers on a regular basis.

Eddie Howe recently celebrated his fourth anniversary at Newcastle United and during that time he has faced four different Spurs managers. Indeed, Nuno was sacked by Spurs on 1 November 2021, only a week before Eddie Howe arrived at St James’ Park.

Having just missed out on Nuno, Eddie Howe has then faced Spurs managers Antonio Conte (sacked 26 March 2023), Christian Stellini (sacked 24 April 2023 immediately after United hammered Spurs 6-1, having gone 5-0 up in 21 minutes), Ange Postecoglou (sacked 6 June 2025) and then Thomas Frank (clinging on as things stand…).

Spurs will be next due, after Tuesday night, to face Newcastle United on 11 February 2026, it would take a brave man to confidently predict Thomas Frank will still be in charge then, unless he finds some form from somewhere. If he does so, obviously I hope it will be starting at the weekend at home against his old club Brentford, rather than at St James’ Park.
