A shocking stat has emerged after Tottenham parted ways with Thomas Frank.
Thomas Frank used up his final life at Tottenham Hotspur in the defeat to Newcastle United. On Wednesday morning, he was sacked by the club.
The Dane was axed after his position at the club became indefensible. That may be a curious statement to make about a coach who led his side to automatic qualification for the Champions League knockout rounds, after only taking charge last summer and who has had to contend with an ever-growing injury list. But the Lilywhites have been sleepwalking into a relegation dogfight, leading to the fans losing patience with Thomas Frank.
With Spurs winless in the Premier League in 2026 and just five points clear of the relegation zone following a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United on Tuesday night, the hierarchy felt enough is enough and wielded the axe on the 52-year-old.
Shocking stat emerges after Thomas Frank’s exit from Tottenham
The result against Newcastle was a poor one and eventually became the final straw for Frank. It was Spurs’ 11th loss of the Premier League campaign, highlighting the chronic inconsistency that defined Frank’s tenure. Tottenham have tumbled to 16th in the table with 29 points from 26 matches, just a few points above the drop zone.
The defeat on Tuesday prompted an angry reaction inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at the full-time whistle, with supporters voicing their frustration at Frank and the players. Now, after the Danish boss has left the club, a shocking stat has emerged.
According to Squawka on X, Spurs managed just 1.12 points per game under Frank’s guidance. This turned out to be the lowest points-per-game return on record among all Tottenham managers to manage the club for more than five games in the Premier League.
This stat shows how badly the team was performing under Frank. The team has regressed and shown no signs of energy, urgency and desire to compete, but to oversee the lowest points per game in competition among managers with experience of more than five games is damning. It just shows they were making no progress on the pitch, and while the hierarchy decided to give the Dane time to turn things around, it reached a point of no return.
There is genuine fear among the fanbase that their club is in a relegation battle. The Lewis Family have simply not been impressed with what they were watching in the last two months, and eventually their patience ran out. One thing is for certain: this was the ideal time for a change in the dugout with the north London derby 11 days later, and the club bosses have done the right thing by relieving Frank of his duties.
