Aston Villa fans aim hilarious chant at Thomas Frank amid latest Tottenham shambles
Thomas Frank’s Tottenham spell reached its nadir as they crashed out the FA Cup at the hands of Aston Villa.
Villa took a 2-0 first-half lead against Tottenham, placing further pressure on the 52-year-old manager, and Wilson Odobert’s second-half strike was not enough.
Frank has had a dismal start to his reign in North London, and he is under intense scrutiny at the moment.
The Villans supporters could not help teasing the under-fire Spurs boss after developments at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
What were Aston Villa fans signing about Thomas Frank?
Frank was pictured holding a cup with an Arsenal badge on in Tottenham’s defeat against Bournemouth, sparking controversy among the Spurs fanbase.
The visiting supporters chanted about that incident as they revelled in the fact that their side had doubled their lead just before the break.
Footage reveals the Villa fans goading the Dane, singing “Thomas Frank is an Arsenal fan” on repeat.
Why Tottenham may have no choice but to sack Frank shortly
Spurs’ chances of winning a trophy seem slim this season, they sit 14th in the Premier League, aren’t in the Carabao Cup and have now been eliminated from the other domestic competition.
The Champions League is their only hope of success, but it seems like an unlikely possibility that they can win Europe’s premier competition.
Winning a trophy may not matter if the Lilywhites were in a strong league position, but seven wins from their first 21 matches is terrible, and it seems like a long shot that they finish in the top five.
The board may have no choice to dismiss the ex-Brentford boss shortly, as he does not look like the right man to take them forward, and secure another campaign in the Champions League, with all the riches that brings.
His team fought back in the second half, but they were not good enough to secure an equaliser, and the Villans went away with the victory, and more importantly, progression to the next round.
The travelling supporters had the last laugh in terms of the result, and they had a good laugh at Frank’s expense too in the stands.
