FANS STEAM AS THOMAS TANKS

Boos as Frank's men put on track for a relegation battle

- BY RYAN TAYLOR

EDDIE HOWE said on Monday that he would step down as Newcastle boss if he did not feel he was the right man for the job.

Thomas Frank should take a leaf out of his opposite number's book, though given Tottenham now endure a 12-day break until the north London derby against Arsenal, he may not need to.

Goals in either half from Malick Thiaw and Jacob Ramsey - Archie Gray had equalised for Spurs - inflicted the damage as chants for Mauricio Pochettino bellowed out from the South Stand. The home fans were also calling for Frank's head and it is about time Tottenham finally put the Dane out of his misery because the Europa League winners genuinely risk being dragged into the relegation dogfight.

They are still yet to win a Premier League match in 2026 and on the basis of recent evidence, you cannot say with any degree of certainty that they are too good or too big for the drop.
