Odds Slashed on Thomas Frank Replacement at Spurs as Clear Favourite Emerges
A clear favourite has emerged to replace Thomas Frank following Tottenham's crushing defeat to Fulham.
Spurs suffered their fifth Premier League defeat of the season after losing 2-1 at home to Fulham on Saturday.
The visitors raced into a two-goal lead, with Kenny Tete opening the scoring in the fourth minute before Harry Wilson doubled his side's advantage just moments later after pouncing on a Guglielmo Vicario mistake.
Mohammed Kudus reduced the deficit in the second-half as the hosts were unable to draw level.

The Spurs faithful were restless as they booed their own player, which angered Frank who spoke out after the game.
Pressure is mounting on the Dane, who is under-fire following a dismal run that includes just one win in their last seven matches across all competitions.
The bookies have already drawn up a shortlist of contenders to replace Frank should Spurs part ways with their manager.
And odds on Oliver Glasner replacing the 52-year-old have been slashed.
Glasner is 5/1 on to take over from Frank if he is relieved of his duties at Spurs.
Fulham's Marco Silva and Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola are both priced at 8/1, while Marseille's Roberto De Zerbi and ex-Middlesbrough boss Michael Carrick have odds of 12/1.
Former Barcelona coach Xavi has odds of 14/1.
Frank was appointed in the summer following the sacking of Ange Postecoglou, who led the club to Europa League glory last season.
But after finishing 17th in the league, Postecoglou was dismissed.
Frank has guided Spurs to five league wins this season and find themselves in 11th place, with 18 points on the board.
Speaking after his side's latest setback, he said: "When you're down 2-0 after six minutes, there is a mountain to climb.
"When you're in a bad spell, everything seems to go against you as well - the first was a deflected shot, the second is a mistake from Vic.
"This result leaves us in a place where we have lost another game. Every game has a single story, this game we lost in the first six minutes.
"We just need to keep working. The second half was much better and hopefully something we can use to learn."
