Thomas Frank's dismissal comes with the former Brentford boss boasting a points-per-game tally of 1.12 in the Premier League during his time at Spurs.
That is the worst record of any manager to take permanent charge of the north London club in the Premier League era.
Osvaldo Ardiles is second worst on 1.15, with Juande Ramos on 1.17. The likes of Tim Sherwood (1.91), Mauricio Pochettino (1.89) and Antonio Conte (1.88) top the list.
Remarkably, Frank's Spurs were third after seven Premier League matches.
Their 19 games since have produced form which ranks 18th in the table.
If Frank's time was a tale of a positive start and dreary finish, it is also one distinctly lacking in home comforts.
Spurs have the third-worst home record in the Premier League, winning just twice in 13 outings this season.
And, perhaps most remarkably for fans who wanted a change, things could have been worse.
Tottenham have out-performed their expected goals by 8.6 goals this season – scoring 36 times from an expected tally of 27.4. No side in the league has out-performed by this much, meaning if Spurs reverted to more 'average' or 'expected' finishing standards, they would have perhaps struggled further.
