Thomas Frank SACKED! Spurs Fan CELEBRATES, Pochettino Return? Dyche Gone, Top 4 Race & FA Cup Preview | Back Post Podcast
•
Thursday 12th February 2026 - FRANK GONE | Thomas Frank has been sacked by Tottenham and Seb has never been happier to sit down at the Back Post.
Handshakes are being demanded, new dawns declared, and there is a giddiness in the studio that has not been seen in months. But Rory and Tobes are not letting Seb off that easily. With Spurs still five points above the drop and no replacement confirmed, is this really a moment for celebration or the start of a different kind of crisis? The lads go through every interim and permanent option on the table before diving into a huge week of Premier League results, Chelsea's five-minute meltdown against Leeds, West Ham rescuing a point at Old Trafford, Dyche getting the sack at Forest, and whether Villa have quietly saved their top four push. Plus an FA Cup preview to round it all off.
