"The Times reports that Spurs' top brass have been in talks at board level about replacement options for Frank, saying his role is now under "serious threat", and a call could be made within hours. Frank is meant to take training on Monday afternoon UK time before a pre-match press conference - they play Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday - however, club sources would not confirm with the publication whether he would be fulfilling either duty."
"The publication reports that hesitancy to axe Frank stems from a lack of clear alternative options, and a fear of making a wrong step given Spurs' perilous position in the league and history of failed appointments. On the market are recently sacked Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso, who is said to be keen on a move to the Premier League, while it's an open secret that former Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino would entertain a move back to the club."
Thomas Frank faces imminent dismissal after Tottenham suffered a third consecutive defeat and eighth loss in 14 matches following a 2-1 home defeat to West Ham. Fans called for Frank to be axed during the match, and captain Cristian Romero described the team as in a "disaster moment". Club hierarchy convened to debate Frank's future and could make a decision within hours. Frank was scheduled to lead training and attend a pre-match press conference ahead of the Borussia Dortmund game, but those duties are uncertain. The club hesitates due to limited clear alternatives and fear of another failed appointment. Potential replacements include Xabi Alonso and Mauricio Pochettino. Fans confronted co-owner Vivienne Lewis in the hospitality area.
