"Spurs fans, who chanted sideways and backwards everywhere we go as their side struggled to break down Burnley, are crying out for something positive to get behind. Growing calls for Mauricio Pochettino to return point to that fact, and Spurs must consider that a short-term appointment could help restore connection with fans as they wait for the managerial market to open up in the summer."
"Ryan Mason has experience as interim boss at Spurs and is out of work, but only because he has just been sacked by West Brom after just 27 games in charge at the Hawthorns. John Heitinga has just been brought in as an assistant to Frank, though he was sacked by Ajax in November after less than six months in charge."
Tottenham remain in managerial limbo after a draw at Burnley and visible fan unrest with chants against Thomas Frank. The club has resisted sacking Frank to avoid admitting the appointment failed, yet supporters demand immediate positive change. Manchester United saw rapid uplift under Michael Carrick, who restored pride and form in his first games, illustrating the impact a new face can have. Calls for Mauricio Pochettino and consideration of short-term options aim to rebuild the connection with fans. Potential interim candidates include Ryan Mason, while John Heitinga has been added as Frank’s assistant. A difficult fixture run raises relegation concerns.
