"The grandson-in-law of Joe Lewis, Nick Beucher, played a key role in Tottenham's decision to sack Thomas Frank, according to a new report from GiveMeSport. While the official announcement came from the club's board, details have emerged suggesting that the ownership family was intimately involved in the call to terminate the Dane's contract. The sacking comes as Spurs sit in 16th place, just five points above the relegation zone, following a damaging home defeat to Newcastle United."
"As per the report, the parting ways with Frank was initially a reluctant decision' for the club's hierarchy. The move was taken following a formal recommendation from CEO Vinai Venkatesham and Sporting Director Johan Lange to the board. However, the report reveals that Nick Beucher, the co-chief executive of the Tavistock Group and Joe Lewis' grandson-in-law, played a key role in the decision. His involvement signals a shift in influence at the very top of the club in the post Daniel Levy era."
"Nick Beucher is rapidly becoming a significant, albeit quiet, power broker at Tottenham Hotspur. Although he does not officially sit on the Spurs board, he has become an important and active voice in the running of the football club following the departure of long-time chairman Daniel Levy over the summer. As a high-ranking executive at Tavistock, the investment vehicle through which the Lewis family controls the club, Beucher acts as a direct link between the club's operations and its ultimate owners."

Nick Beucher, co-chief executive of the Tavistock Group and grandson-in-law of Joe Lewis, influenced the decision despite not officially sitting on the Spurs board. Beucher's involvement reflects a shift in top-level authority following Daniel Levy's departure and suggests he may have a say in selecting the next manager.
