"After the 2-1 defeat a third for Spurs in the space of six days Frank said those who took aim at the Italian after his mistake led to a second Fulham goal for Harry Wilson were not true fans. The Spurs manager refused to back down from those comments on Monday, but did recognise the only way of getting fans back onside was to perform and keep connected, starting with the trip to Newcastle on Tuesday."
"It seems like they're good guys, intelligent people, Frank said. They know how to run businesses and are learning about football, learning more now they've become owners. When we're dealing with intelligent people they can see every successful dynasty, every successful club has taken time. Yes, you have one where you maybe win one year or the second year, but you can't sustain it if you don't build something sustainable."
Thomas Frank expects patience from Tottenham's new owners despite a 2-1 home defeat to Fulham that was Spurs' third loss in six days. Frank criticised supporters who booed goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario after his error led to a second Fulham goal and defended Pedro Porro for leaving the pitch upset by perceived disrespect. Tottenham have won three of their past 13 matches and must improve starting at Newcastle, where recent visits have produced four defeats and 14 conceded goals. Frank expressed confidence in the new ownership led by Vinai Venkatesham and called for unified fan support while building sustainably.
