Thomas Frank has been sacked by Tottenham Hotspur after replacing Celtic hero Ange Postecoglou in the summer.

Last season, Postecoglou won the Europa League with Tottenham, their first trophy in nearly two decades, but was still sacked by the powers that be for finishing 17th in the Premier League table, which shocked many, including Celtic supporters.

Postecoglou left Celtic for Spurs in 2023, after winning the Treble in Glasgow, and many wearing the green and white colours were interested to see how the Australian would get on.

But for large parts of Postecoglou’s reign in north London, he was disrespected and mocked, including Celtic taking verbal pelters, as Jamie O’Hara was one of the prime candidates.

Last season, Spurs went through a horror injury run, so much so that Postecoglou admitted to sacrificing their out-of-sorts Premier League campaign to win the Europa League.

He achieved his goal, but you still had the likes of O’Hara slating the attack-minded coach and his success in Scotland, including how it’s ‘easy’ winning with Celtic.

The former midfielder even claimed, back in April, ‘I reckon I could take over and do a better job! Genuinely.’

Well, now Frank, who had great success at Brentford, is already out the door after eight months, which proves that Postecoglou probably deserved more respect.

With Spurs five points above the Premier League’s bottom three, and in threat of relegation, this is how O’Hara reacted to Frank’s sacking, as the grass isn’t greener on the other side, now that Postecoglou can’t be blamed.

“Frank gone, out of his depth (and) had to be done,” said O’Hara.

“BUT that’s half the problem. We have to get someone in to get a kick out of this squad, and these players need to take a long, hard look at themselves and decide whether they’re up for a fight. Standards are shocking; it has to be miles better.”
