'Tottenham Should Sack Jose Mourinho And Replace Him With Frank Lampard,' Spurs Fan Claims

A Tottenham fan has made a bold suggestion that Spurs should axe Jose Mourinho and bizarrely replace him with former Chelsea boss Frank Lampard.

Spurs supporters turned on Mourinho -- and Gareth Bale -- after the London club suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Brighton at the Amex on Sunday.

And Tottenham find themselves six points off the Premier League top four in the pursuit of Champions League football next season.

Speaking on Darren Bent's Boot Room, Spurs fan Dan claims that Mourinho is "so stuck in the past" and it is time for Tottenham to cut ties with the 'Special One.'

Dan told talkSPORT: "Watching Spurs compared to this time last season, there's no difference.

"You've got no Harry Kane. He's a big part of the team and you've got players in there who Mourinho's losing his head with like Serge Aurier. He didn't even play, where was he?

"Dele Alli -- he's like a £70million player... you can't just get rid of him.

"Mourinho is so stuck in the past. He plays three at the back against Brighton!"

Lampard, who was appointed Chelsea manager in 2019, was sacked last month and replaced with former Paris Saint-Germain boss Thomas Tuchel.

When Dan was asked who he wanted to see as Mourinho's replacement at Spurs, he said that he "wouldn't mind" seeing the 42-year-old Chelsea legend appointed in his place.

"Do you know what? At the minute, there aren't too many you can grab, I wouldn't mind Lampard," the Tottenham fan said.

Mourinho was sacked from Manchester United in 2018 and later succeeded Mauricio Pochettino as Spurs manager in 2019.

However, the 58-year-old Portuguese head coach only managed to lead Tottenham to sixth place in the Premier League last season.

Tottenham will now host London rivals Chelsea on Thursday before facing West Brom on Sunday.
