Odds Slashed on Premier League Manager ‘Switching Clubs’ As Sack Decision Made
A Premier League manager has emerged as an option to replace Thomas Frank, who is under serious pressure following a 2-1 home defeat to West Ham United.
Spurs slumped to yet another loss at a mutinous Tottenham Hotspur Stadium against relegation-threatened opposition.
Crysencio Summerville put the visitors ahead after just 15 minutes before Cristian Romero drew Tottenham level on 64 minutes.
However, West Ham struck a dramatic winner in the third minute of second-half stoppage time, sparking wild celebrations in the away end.

Tottenham supporters, who had aimed chants of "sacked in the morning" at Frank throughout the match, booed loudly at the final whistle.
BBC Sport report that Frank is now under 'significant internal scrutiny' just seven months into his reign at Spurs.
They add that at least one member of the club's executive team has discussed the possibility of ending the Dane's tenure.
Supporters have struggled to buy into Frank's style of play, while results have been a major issue, with Spurs managing just seven victories from their 22 games this season.
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has emerged as the early bookmakers' favourite to take the reins in north London, with his own future at Selhurst Park also uncertain.
In Friday's press conference, the Austrian confirmed he will leave Palace in the summer when his contract expires.
Following Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Sunderland, Glasner criticised the club's board, saying he 'feels like we're being abandoned completely'.
He also claimed there was 'no understanding' over the impending sale of captain Marc Guehi to Manchester City.
Sky Sports now report that Palace chairman Steve Parish is considering whether to sack Glasner just months after he led the club to their first major piece of silverware.
Despite that uncertainty, the Austrian is already the bookmakers' favourite to take charge at Tottenham.
Other early contenders linked with the Spurs job include former boss Mauricio Pochettino, Xabi Alonso, Marco Silva and Ruben Amorim.
Although neither Spurs nor Crystal Palace have dismissed their head coaches, both clubs still have plenty left to play for in Europe this season.
Tottenham are currently 11th in the Champions League table and remain in a strong position to qualify for the knockout stages.
While winning Europe's premier club competition appears unlikely, a deep run could help lift the mood around the club.
Meanwhile, Palace are enjoying their first-ever season of European football in the Conference League.
Despite entering the competition as early favourites, they finished 10th in the league phase and must now navigate a two-legged tie against Zrinjski Mostar to reach the knockouts.
