Tottenham's decision to sack Thomas Frank was made almost immediately after Tuesday night's loss to Newcastle. Chief executive Vinai Venkatesham, in conjunction with sporting director Johan Lange, made the call - one the club had been reluctant to make. But the sorry state of Tottenham's season meant not even Frank's biggest advocate could disagree with the decision. Early on Wednesday morning, Venkatesham made the recommendation to the Lewis family - the club's ownership - to dispense with Frank. But he lasted just eight months at Spurs amid player indiscipline, a split executive team and doubts over his tactical approach.
