Tottenham Hotspur have sacked Thomas Frank just eight months after appointing him, with the north London club languishing in 16th place in the Premier League. Frank is also thought to have grated on his players with repeated gushing references to Spurs' north London rivals Arsenal. 'He was constantly going on to the players about Arsenal and they quickly got sick of it,' a dressing room source told The Telegraph. Then we face a Newcastle team struggling lately, but if you look at the team they put on the pitch, it’s quite different to us. In the build-up to the Newcastle game, Frank had danced around the 'R' word and did his utmost to avoid saying it.
