00:01Thomas Frank's excellent work at Brentford landed him the top job at Tottenham Hotspur.
00:06A chance to prove himself at a bigger club.
00:10Frank swapped stability and structure for the pressure cooker environment at Spurs,
00:14stepping out of his comfort zone after seven years at the B's.
00:18I like to challenge myself. I've been that privileged. I've never been sacked before.
00:22So that's one of the reasons why I took the job.
00:24So I get a little bit more risk into my daily life.
00:29You know, coming to a big club, there's pressures.
00:34Unfortunately for Frank, he lasted less than eight months in the Tottenham hot seat,
00:38enduring a miserable spell in North London.
00:43Given the team's dire results and the toxicity that has engulfed the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium,
00:48Frank's sacking should hardly have come as a surprise.
00:51However, the man himself expected to be in charge for the club's next game.
00:56The North London derby against Arsenal on February 22.
01:00Who used to be in charge for the Arsenal game, do you think?
01:04Yeah, I'm convinced I will be.
01:07We all, and I think it's, I understand the question.
01:11I understand it's easy to point on me, but I also think it's not, it's never only the head coach.
01:20But a slide down the table prompted by a shocking home record proved too difficult to ignore for the Spurs
01:27hierarchy.
01:31We have been determined to give him the time and support needed to build for the future together.
01:36However, results and performances have led the board to conclude that a change at this point in the season is
01:42necessary.
01:48All up, Frank won a paltry 27% of his Premier League games, the worst record of any Tottenham manager
01:55since 2008.
01:58Like his predecessor, Ange Postacoglu, he fared much better in Europe.
02:02But just seven wins in 26 league games has dragged Spurs closer to the relegation zone.
02:09The Danes' relationship with the club's fans grew strained as calls for his dismissal grew louder and louder after every
02:16loss.
02:17If we performed badly and on top of them lost the game, more than fair enough, the Brewers.
02:22During the game, we need a little bit of help.
02:25And, and, and especially when it's not going right away, they can be the turning point.
02:30The writing was on the wall for Thomas Frank after a run of just two wins in 17 Premier League
02:36matches against a backdrop of growing discontent from Tottenham supporters.
02:40With Spurs just five points above the relegation zone, Frank was an increasingly unpopular figure, enduring a miserable spell in
02:49North London.
02:50That's it.
02:50That was about a 12 quarter fall, but that was a exclusionary zone.
02:50I know what's the reason?
02:50So, it's a reality that we need to get from this point.
02:50And, and that's the case that we can get to, and to be a basic understanding here is this.
02:50But it's so, I've had some, what's the level of the battle of the battle.
02:50So, it's definitely the reason that we can get to and that we know that we've had the battle and
02:50it's all about the battle of the battle.
02:51It's all about to have a evening the battle of a thoroughness too into this.
