"The Dane watched his team lose 2-1 at home to Newcastle on Monday night; they have won just twice in 17 Premier League games and lag 16th in the table, five points above the relegation zone. It was another night when the Spurs fans booed and jeered him. At one point, they sang for Mauricio Pochettino, their former manager, who is now in charge of the USA national side, while they also told Frank towards the end of the game that he should be sacked in the morning."
"How convinced am I that I am the right man for the job? 1,000% sure. I am also 1,000% sure that I never expected us to be in a situation like this with 10 or 11 injuries. But I know when you need to build something and need to get through things, you need to show unbelievable strong resilience. You need to have a calm head and carry on."
Thomas Frank says he has board support and will continue as Tottenham manager despite poor results and fan backlash. Tottenham have won twice in 17 Premier League matches and sit 16th, five points above the relegation zone. Frank pointed to a long injury list, naming 10 unavailable players and the loss of Wilson Odobert in the first half, while captain Cristian Romero is suspended. Frank argued that the club is struggling to balance domestic and European demands and insisted resilience, calm leadership and collective responsibility are needed rather than an immediate managerial change.
