"I've just been feeling the trust, Frank said. I've said that at every press meeting that there is backing and support. I had lunch with Nick and Vinai and Johan today, so all good. I know it's part of the media circus. The only focus I have is to do everything I can for us to win against Dortmund. We had a good conversation about life and football, the future of the club, everything normal."
"Of course, there's a little bit of stormy weather out there. I just think it's an extremely good sign because normally people are running away if there's bad news or bad weather coming. They're normally not coming in and being friendly for lunch."
Thomas Frank's position at Tottenham is precarious after a 2-1 home defeat to West Ham and a run that includes only two wins in 13 Premier League matches. Fans demanded his sacking, but the hierarchy signalled support and he will remain in the dugout for Tuesday's Champions League tie with Borussia Dortmund. Frank faces a selection crisis with only 11 available outfield players, three of whom may not last 90 minutes. He met chief executive Vinai Venkatesham, sporting director Johan Lange and Nick Beucher for a conciliatory lunch and said he felt trust and would focus on beating Dortmund. Dortmund sit second in the Bundesliga and have lost only once this season.
