TEAMtalk can reveal the very latest on Thomas Frank\u2019s tenure at Tottenham, after a run of three successive defeats, with a trophy-winning Premier League manager firmly on the club\u2019s radar should they choose to part company with the Dane.<\/p>\n
In the swirling cauldron of Premier League intrigue, Tottenham Hotspur find themselves at a crossroads.<\/p>\n
Frank<\/a>, the Danish tactician who arrived from Brentford with promises of pragmatic flair, is staring down the barrel of mounting discontent. A harrowing run of results\u2014capped by a gut-wrenching 2-1 home defeat to Fulham \u2014 has left Tottenham<\/a> languishing in mid-table mediocrity.<\/p>\n With just one home league win this season and a poor run over the last few weeks, the faithful\u2019s frustration boiled over, their boos echoing through the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium like a premonition of change.<\/p>\n Frank\u2019s tenure, barely six months old, was meant to steady the ship after Ange Postecoglou\u2019s high-octane experiment faltered. Yet, defeats to Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, and now Fulham have exposed tactical frailties and a squad seemingly adrift.<\/p>\n The pressure is palpable, with fans jeering goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario\u2019s error against Fulham, prompting Frank to brand the dissenters \u201cnot true fans.\u201d<\/p>\n Behind closed doors, players have even convened emergency meetings to address the toxic rift with supporters, viewing it as a \u201ccritical issue\u201d threatening cohesion.<\/p>\n Sources close to the club insist Frank retains the board\u2019s backing\u2014for now. \u201cHe still has time,\u201d one insider confided. \u201cThe hierarchy believes in his process, but a few more stumbles, and contingency plans will accelerate.\u201d<\/p>\n Enter stage left: Oliver Glasner<\/a>, the Austrian maestro who\u2019s transformed Crystal Palace into London\u2019s surprise package.<\/p>\n Appointed in February 2024 amid Roy Hodgson\u2019s exit, Glasner wasted no time. He orchestrated Palace\u2019s highest-ever Premier League points haul (49) that season, masterminded their first major trophy\u2014a historic 1-0 FA Cup final triumph over Manchester City in May 2025\u2014and steered them into the Europa Conference League.<\/p>\n This term, despite a grueling European schedule and key departures like Eberechi Eze to Arsenal, Glasner has Palace ninth, just two points off fifth-placed Brighton. His system, blending defensive solidity with rapid transitions, has yielded gems like a 1-0 Anfield upset against Liverpool and a 4-0 thrashing of Manchester United.<\/p>\n DONT MISS \u27a1\ufe0f\u00a0Thomas Frank \u2018doesn\u2019t have the balls\u2019 to manage Tottenham as former star goes nuclear in brutal rant<\/a><\/p>\n Glasner a long-time Tottenham target<\/p>\n Glasner\u2019s allure for Spurs is no secret. He topped their shortlist during previous managerial hunts, his Europa League-winning spell at Eintracht Frankfurt (2022) and Wolfsburg stints cementing his reputation as a serial overachiever.<\/p>\n Palace\u2019s recent woes\u2014four winless games post-Europe, including Sunday\u2019s 2-1 loss to United\u2014have Glasner publicly urging January reinforcements: \u201cWe need to correct what we missed in the summer. If you play European football for the first time, you should invest, not save.\u201d<\/p>\n Whispers suggest Tottenham\u2019s hierarchy, long admirers, could pounce if the club\u2019s form under Frank dips further.<\/p>\n As December dawns, Spurs\u2019 festive fixtures\u2014Newcastle away, Brentford (Frank\u2019s old haunt), and a Liverpool showdown\u2014loom large. Frank\u2019s clock is ticking louder than the Kop\u2019s anthem.<\/p>\n For Glasner, the siren call of Tottenham might prove irresistible, a chance to conquer the capital\u2019s grandest stage. In football\u2019s merry-go-round, loyalties shift swiftly.
