"Thomas Frank has insisted the Tottenham hierarchy are standing with him in the face of the storm gripping the club. The manager's job is in the balance, his situation precarious after the home defeat against West Ham on Saturday. The Spurs support were so incensed by the result and the continuation of the team's terrible Premier League form they have won twice in their past 13 league matches that they demanded Frank be sacked in the morning."
"Spurs' Champions League campaign is going swimmingly. They've picked up 11 points from six games and are on course for a playoff place, perhaps even an automatic passage to the last 16. Alas, as Ange Postecoglou found out, progress in Europe does not keep the wolf from the door, or the boos from the shell-like, and there is widespread expectation that Thomas Frank will be the next Premier League manager to lose his job."
Tottenham have strong Champions League results with 11 points from six games while Borussia Dortmund also sit high domestically and in Europe. Thomas Frank retains managerial backing despite intense pressure after a home defeat to West Ham and only two wins in 15 league matches. Supporters called for his sacking, but the club hierarchy publicly backed him for the upcoming Dortmund match. Frank confronts a selection crisis with only 11 available outfield players, three of whom may struggle to play 90 minutes. Spurs' Champions League home form remains perfect with three wins and eight goals scored, none conceded.
