Tottenham lost, comes closer to relegation, and fans sang for Pochettino's return
Tottenham suffered a defeat against Newcastle, intensifying their risk of relegation, while fans expressed their desire for former coach Pochettino to return.
Tottenham Hotspur's precarious position in the Premier League worsened after a disappointing 2-1 home loss to Newcastle United, leaving the club close to the relegation zone. The defeat marks their continued winless streak in the league since the start of 2026, placing immense pressure on current manager Thomas Frank. Many fans expressed their dissatisfaction with the team's performance under Frank, blaming him for the lack of success and disappointment this season.
During the match, some fans remained in the stands until the end, despite the team's struggles, chanting the well-known English football song directed at managers on the brink of being dismissed: 'you'll be sacked in the morning'. This chant reflects the growing frustration among supporters, who are demanding accountability and a change in direction for their beloved team. Without key player Cristian Romero due to suspension, Tottenham's defensive vulnerabilities were further exposed.
The chants for former manager Mauricio Pochettino indicate a longing for better days at Tottenham, as he previously led the team to significant achievements during his tenure. Fans are hoping that a return to Pochettino's leadership might reinvigorate the squad and restore the club's competitive edge. With the threat of relegation looming, the club must act swiftly to rectify their course and appease the restless fanbase.
