Fabrizio Romano has delivered an update on the future of beleaguered Tottenham boss Thomas Frank, admitting that his job is “not safe” following the 2-1 defeat to West Ham United on Saturday.

Spurs made it five games without a win in all competitions after the injury-time defeat to the Hammers – courtesy of Callum Wilson, who looks set to leave the Londoners.

Tottenham were booed off by their fans yet again, with a huge section of the South Stand chanting ‘you’re getting sacked in the morning’ to Frank, whose position as head coach is starting to look untenable in N17.

Tottenham Hold Talks Over Frank’s Future

The next few days will be interesting at Spurs, with a huge UEFA Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund to come on Tuesday night.

All indications were that the Lewis family and the board of directors were supportive of Frank, despite the situation at Spurs, but defeat to the Hammers may have changed that somewhat.

GIVEMESPORT understands that there have been talks behind the scenes over the Dane’s future at the club, with Romano backing that up in a YouTube update to his followers on Sunday morning.

​​​​​​​Thomas Frank In Danger Of The Sack

​​​​​​​

Romano said: “Tottenham tried to show support for Thomas Frank by appointing John Heitinga as a new part of the backroom staff during the week, but then over the weekend, Tottenham lose again. Now the situation is very, very complicated for Thomas Frank at Tottenham.

“His job is at serious risk. Let’s see what happens in the next hours and days but the situation of Thomas Frank at Tottenham is not safe at this stage. They could change the manager, let’s see if it’s now or if they will give him opportunity to try and turn the situation but the situation is very tense for Thomas Frank at Tottenham.

“Thomas Frank is fighting to keep his job at Tottenham but the club will decide very soon, internal talks are taking place. The situation of Thomas Frank is in danger. His job at Tottenham is not safe.”

Just like when Enzo Maresca and Ruben Amorim left Chelsea and Manchester United respectively within days of one another, the same could be happening at Spurs and Crystal Palace, with Oliver Glasner’s future in doubt in south London following an outburst against the Eagles’ owners.

Oliver Glasner Could End Up At Spurs

Speaking after their defeat to Sunderland, Glasner said: “I feel we are being abandoned completely. I can’t blame any player. They did everything they could and this has been going on for weeks and months now.

“We have 12, 13 players from the squad available and we feel no support. The worst thing is selling our captain one day before playing a Premier League game.

“We are preparing, it’s the first [full] week we are training since September, and then we are selling our captain one day before a game. So I have no understanding of this.”

Glasner’s contract is up at the end of the season, but he could leave before then, with the Palace boss one of the favourites to replace Frank at Tottenham if both depart.

Next Tottenham Manager: 19 Favourites to Replace Thomas Frank Named

The 19 favourites to replace Thomas Frank as Tottenham manager have emerged, as pressure grows on his job.

WWE has always had a roster packed with physically impressive Superstars, who are driven by putting their bodies to work. Every Superstar has a right to label themselves as ‘strong’, due to the sheer power needed to perform the moves that they pull off in the ring.

However, a select few wrestlers are such outrageous specimens that fans part with their hard-earned cash simply to get a chance to take in their power in person. As a result, ranking the strongest Superstars ever is no easy task. That’s why the most logical solution is to ask AI to name the top 20 strongest of all time.

Below is a look at the verdict offered by the technology, featuring plenty of legends and modern-day Superstars alike.

10

The British Bulldog

When Davey Boy Smith was at his best, he could hold his own in the ring with anyone. He became a deserved main eventer, thrilling fans in matches with the likes of Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels.

The Bulldog maintained an impressive physique throughout his career and showed off his strength by hoisting massive opponents such as Vader, The Warlord, and Mabel off their feet. The Brit was often compared to powerlifters when he executed his trademark Delayed Vertical Suplex on his opponents, holding them in the air and showing off his core strength.

9

Batista

Batista is one of the most physically powerful and muscular wrestlers in WWE history, as well as one of the most successful, with multiple world title wins to his name. When you look at his strength, it is no surprise he was a champion.

Before his WWE career, he was a competitive weightlifter and bodybuilder, and partook in Olympic-style lift training, which explains how he was able to regularly Batista Bomb opponents such as The Big Show, Mark Henry, and The Great Khali. Despite his ups and downs in his multiple WWE stints, his strength always remained a constant.

8

Kane

With a billed height of 7ft, it is no surprise to see The Big Red Machine on this list. He holds the record for the most matches in WWE history, and is a three-time world champion, and would not have achieved those feats if not for his incredible power.

Throughout his time with the company, he would consistently manhandle huge wrestlers with ease. Fellow Superstars have described him as ‘freakishly strong’ and this, combined with his intimidating presence, meant most who came face-to-face with him would come out on the losing side of the encounter.

7

The Undertaker

The Deadman is one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. Among his many accolades is his iconic WrestleMania streak, where he went 21-0 before losing to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 30. However, somewhat overshadowed by his engaging persona and in-ring work was the fact that ‘Taker was also an incredibly strong and athletic competitor.

His iconic Tombstone finisher was successfully executed on many huge foes, including Vader and Mark Henry. This strength, mixed with his longevity, saw him dominate WWE for decades.

6

Cesaro (Claudio Castagnoli)

Despite not being the biggest wrestler in terms of size and stature, Cesaro was known during his WWE tenure for his insane strength, and is arguably the strongest pound-for-pound wrestler in history.

Training footage exists of the Swiss Superman deadlifting over 500lbs and performing sets of 20+ strict-form reps of muscle ups. In the ring, Cesaro demonstrated his strength on numerous occasions. One such occasion came in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal at WrestleMania 30, where he lifted The Big Show into a scoop slam and threw him over the top rope for the win. He would also swing his opponents around with the Cesaro Swing up to 20 times, which was dizzying just to watch.

5

John Cena

The 17-time world champion leaves behind an eternal legacy, and goes down as one of the best in the history of the business after calling it quits at the end of last year. His athleticism is almost freakish, and his strength and power amazed fans for over 20 years.

Cena has posted videos of him squatting, deadlifting, and bench-pressing 500+lbs, which is enough to prove how strong he is. But, when added to his ability in the ring, he seems superhuman. Perhaps his most impressive moment came at WrestleMania 25, where he lifted both Edge and Big Show into the Attitude Adjustment, leaving fans around the world in awe of what they were seeing.

4

Big E

Unfortunately for Big E, he will likely never compete in the ring again following his horrific neck break during an episode of SmackDown in 2022. But this possible career-ending injury does not take away how strong he has shown to be, and it has been suggested that his muscles are what saved his life.

Before his wrestling career, he was a champion powerlifter, and in 2010 earned the title of USAPL Raw National Champion in the 275lb weight class. During his powerlifting years, he deadlifted approximately 800lbs, as well as bench pressing 711lbs.

Regularly lifting giants such as The Big Show, Mark Henry, and Braun Strowman, the former WWE Champion has been sorely missed by fans since he got injured.

3

Braun Strowman

Strowman proved himself to be one of the physically dominant wrestlers of modern times, and The Monster Among Men truly lived up to his nickname.

He stands at 6’ 8” tall, and weighed 386lbs at his peak. Before joining WWE, he was a legitimate strongman competitor, becoming a professional strongman after becoming the 2011 NAS US Amateur National Champion and the 2012 Arnold Amateur Strongman Champion.

His elite-level strength carried over into WWE, where he would frequently lift and carry two men with ease, and even flipped an ambulance.

2

Brock Lesnar

It is no secret that Brock Lesnar is one of the most terrifying wrestlers in WWE history, with his combination of power, explosiveness, and freakish athleticism. He was an NCAA Division 1 Heavyweight Champion before joining WWE – an achievement that demonstrates his raw grappling strength and control.

He is a legitimately fearsome athlete, able to lift and throw giant opposition such as The Big Show around the ring with complete ease, executing his F-5 finisher on seemingly anyone he pleases. The gasp from the crowd when he made his return after a two-year absence at SummerSlam 2025 proves that Brock is one of the most unique Superstars ever.

1

Mark Henry

Topping the rankings is none other than ‘The World’s Strongest Man’ Mark Henry, and this name was not just for marketing purposes. On many occasions, Henry proved to the world why he is considered the strongest wrestler of all time, officially squatting 953.5lbs, bench pressing 518.1lbs, and deadlifting 903.9lbs.

His achievements outside of WWE include being a two-time Olympian in 1992 and 1996 for the US Olympic Weightlifting Team (Super Heavyweight), 1995 Pan American Games Gold Medallist, 1995 World Powerlifting Champion, and the 2002 Arnold Strongman Classic winner.

Henry also still holds the WDFPF world records in the squat, deadlift, and total categories. There is no other man more deserving to top this list, and it will be hard for anyone to ever replace him. It’s easy to understand why AI picked Henry to sit atop this list.

The grandson of the legendary Muhammad Ali has revealed he was offered the chance to fight Jake Paul – and why he decided to reject the opportunity despite millions and millions being on the table.

Nico Ali Walsh, who is a professional boxer aiming to follow in the footsteps of his iconic grandfather, was offered a multi-million pound deal to fight the YouTuber-turned-boxer, but he pretty quickly turned down the opportunity, and he’s now detailed exactly why he snubbed The Problem Child.

Walsh currently has a professional record of 13-2-1 with one no-contest, so it’s a real mix bag of results for Ali’s grandson, but he did quickly raise to a pro-record of 8-0.

Nico Ali Walsh’s Boxing Career

The 25-year-old’s first professional fight came back in 2021, when he defeated Jordan Weeks via TKO. What then followed was seven straight victories spanning from the 23rd of October 2021 to the 3rd of February 2023. Then came Walsh’s no-contest.

Originally scored a split decision draw, the result was overturned to a no-contest due to his opponent, Danny Rosenberger, testing positive for an illegal substance. Following that came a further setback for Walsh as he tasted defeat for the first time, losing via majority decision to Sona Akale.

Three wins then came for Walsh, including revenge on Akale, but it was then another loss suffered, this time via unanimous decision at the hands of Juan Carlos Guerra.

In his last three, Walsh has picked up two wins and a draw, with his last fight taking place on the 12th of December last year, where he beat Jeremiah Sserwadda via unanimous decision.

Why He Rejected Jake Paul Fight Offer

Although Walsh is slowly and steadily building his boxing career and his resume, a chance to fight Jake Paul would have skyrocketed his public image, with millions and millions of people watching Paul’s recent fights against Mike Tyson and Anthony Joshua.

However, while discussing the fight offer from the YouTuber’s camp, Walsh was dead sure of his decision to reject the opportunity and focus his attentions elsewhere.

Speaking to Sky Sports at the time, Walsh said: “Morally, it was an easy choice. I said no before I even heard the numbers. I believe it was upwards of $3m (£2.2m). Of course, that would be money that I’ve never made in my career.

“You’ve got to ask yourself how much does your pride cost? How much are you willing to sell out for? Because that’s exactly how it is, at least in my book. Anyone else can do it.

“But for me, I’m an Ali, I hold my name in such higher weight, I don’t believe I should be playing in the mud with the likes of Jake Paul.”

Jake Paul did actually respond to Walsh at the time, saying: “I been trying to fight this fraud, and now he admitted he ducked me but calling me a circus act.”

Walsh then further explained his circus claims by stating: “It is a circus. People like the circus… But it’s not something you want to mix with a deadly sport like boxing. We’re in a serious sport, and it’s not a sport to be taken lightly. I just don’t think playing games, the way Jake Paul is doing, should be mixed in a sport that’s so deadly.”
