Premier League sack race: New favourite is named hours after Tottenham dismiss Thomas Frank
Thomas Frank has been sacked as Tottenham manager, ending his terrible time at the helm at Spurs.
The former Brentford boss had only won 13 of his 38 matches in charge, as he leaves the North London club in a battle for survival.
Frank had long been the favourite to be sacked next in the Premier League, and now he has gone, Scott Parker has taken his place as the bookies favourite.
The Club has taken the decision to make a change in the Men’s Head Coach position and Thomas Frank will leave today.

Scott Parker new favourite to be sacked next in the Premier League
Despite doing a wonderful job at getting Burnley back into the Premier League, Parker has heavily struggled this season.
The former Tottenham star looks destined to take the Clarets down this season, with the Lancashire side now 11 points from safety.
As a result, Parker has been heavily linked with the sack in recent weeks, with Burnley almost certainly down this season.

Now, this has been reflected at the bookies, with one bookmaker making the manager the favourite to leave next in the Premier League.
Priced at 3/1, Parker’s long-term future at Turf Moor now looks bleaker than ever.
Who else is currently in the Premier League sack race?
After Parker, both Sean Dyche and Arne Slot are the next favourites to be given the boot at 4/1.
Dyche has seemingly lost the faith of the Nottingham Forest fanbase, and failure to beat Wolves on Wednesday could spell the end of his reign.
Whereas Slot has been under pressure for months at Liverpool, and with the manager still unable to put together a consistent run of form, Champions League qualification could be at risk.
Following this is both Oliver Glasner and Fabian Hurzeler at 8/1.
Glasner is set to leave Palace at the end of the season when his contract expires. However, in recent weeks, they have struggled, which has sparked rumours that his exit could be fast-forwarded.
In comparison, Hurzeler has struggled at Brighton and was unable to beat Palace in the derby on the weekend.
With the Seagulls currently on a five-match winless run, and down to 14th in the Premier League, it remains to be seen how long the owners will continue to back the manager.
Nevertheless, with plenty of twists and turns set to happen between now and the end of the season, it could easily be someone else who is given the boot.
