Thomas Frank is under huge pressure to improve after successive defeats at Tottenham have seen him drop to 14th in the Premier League table.
Thomas Frank has run out of excuses and should resign as Tottenham manager after failing to achieve anything this season. Former player Ramon Vega has called for Frank’s head as Spurs face Crystal Palace, 14th in the Premier League table, on Sunday.
Tottenham have only won six of their 17 top-flight games, and Frank is under huge pressure following back-to-back defeats against Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. The Danish manager was appointed in the summer to replace Ange Postecoglou, but has so far failed to make an impact domestically.
Frank’s side lost just one of six Champions League games, but picked up where they left off in the league, finishing 17th under Postecoglou, before defeating Manchester United in the Europa League final. Former Brentford manager Frank insisted Europa League success masked deeper problems and the club should be given time to turn things around.
“Honestly, I think we are in a transition period, because yes we are a Champions League club, but are we really a Champions League club? We qualified because we won the Europa League,” he told Sky Sports before the visit to Palace.

“Last season we didn’t qualify because we were one of the best four or five clubs in the Premier League. We finished 17th. And now we have to play in the Champions League while also competing in the Premier League, which is the most difficult thing.”
Frank’s words fell on deaf ears and former Spurs defender Vega took to social media to make his feelings clear. “Frank, please stop talking about last season. They finished 17th. They have healthier players than Ange last season, but it’s still not in great shape. In fact, it’s in tatters,” he wrote to X.
“At least Ange didn’t get any support, but he made a great end to a disastrous season for the fans by winning the European Cup and qualifying for the Champions League. You’re having fun right now. So please resign, dude!”
Vega, who spent four years at Spurs as a player, has been a fierce critic of Frank, who won 10 of his 26 wins in all competitions, taking charge in north London. “He needs to manage the dressing room. Football has a psychological aspect here,” Vega previously told talkSPORT.
“If he doesn’t control the dressing room. He can be as good as he wants. But he doesn’t have the ball. I don’t think Frank is very suitable for Spurs because he doesn’t have the ball and doesn’t have the character to do this.”
