"There is a lot of pressure on Frank. Fans have been calling for him to be sacked, and after a result like the one against Nottingham Forest, he's not going to have done himself any favours. I wouldn't expect anything to happen immediately, because from what I'm told, they're hoping to stick with him for the foreseeable future. But obviously, if results aren't picking up and the crowd start turning against him, serious questions will be asked."
"The feeling is that they want to back him long-term, so turning against him this early into his tenure isn't going to be part of their plans. I know he's been given a while to get his ideas across and he hasn't quite met expectations yet, they're having a torrid time and they have to turn that around. But they want to stick with the manager and hope he will be the one to get them out of it."
Thomas Frank has endured a difficult start to life at Tottenham, compounded by a 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest. Tottenham sit 11th in the Premier League and Frank faces severe pressure from supporters calling for his sacking. Club sources indicate that Tottenham are investigating potential replacements but do not plan an imminent dismissal, preferring to back Frank for the foreseeable future. Insiders say the club wants to give Frank time to implement his ideas while monitoring results and fan reaction. Continued poor performances and growing crowd hostility could force the club to reconsider his position. The club's struggles appear to extend beyond managerial issues alone.
