Inside Frank's sacking at Tottenham Hotspur Feb 13, 2026

Show notes

When Thomas Frank was appointed Tottenham Hotspur’s new head coach in June 2025, his task was to rebuild the club’s culture. But the defining image of his tenure — or rather the defining sound — was booing. And booing directed specifically at him. On today's Tifo Football Podcast, Joe Devine & Jon Mackenzie read and analyse Jack Pitt-Brooke and Jay Harris' inside read on Thomas Frank's sacking at Spurs. In this new format, 'Ring For Analysis', conversation ranges from booing, to unconscious downing of tools and a points-per-game quiz.
