Thomas Frank’s future at Tottenham Hotspur remains uncertain following defeat in the Premier League. Spurs lost 2-1 to West Ham in Saturday’s top flight match, dropping them to 14th place in the league table.
At the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, West Ham took the lead with a goal from Chrisencio Somerville, before Cristian Romero equalized for Spurs. However, it was Callum Wilson who had the final say, scoring the winning goal for the visitors in stoppage time.
Tottenham have endured a difficult run of form in recent weeks, winning just one of their last seven Premier League games, a record that stretches back to mid-December, reports football.london.
BBC Sport has shed light on Tottenham’s current stance regarding Frank’s tenure at the club. Although a final decision has not yet been announced, it has been suggested that Spurs’ board are discussing Frank’s future.
The report also reveals that there have been concerns among some members of Tottenham’s hierarchy over Frank’s role as manager in recent weeks.
As it stands, no formal decision has been made regarding Frank’s future at Tottenham. The 52-year-old only took over last summer, replacing Ange Postecoglou.
When Tottenham lost to West Ham, some members of the north London home crowd expressed their displeasure with Frank, with chants of “you’ll be sacked in the morning” echoing throughout the stadium.
When asked about the reception he received from Spurs fans, the Tottenham manager gave a frank assessment of the situation.
“Of course there were better times, and of course this may not be the best time, but I know, I’m in charge, so I’m responsible,” Frank said.
“That’s fair. It’s fine in that sense. As long as they’re rooting for the players and supporting them and doing everything they can to move them forward, that’s what we’re supposed to do and we’ll keep moving forward.”
Spurs’ attention now turns to Tuesday night’s Champions League clash with Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund, and Frank and his team will be keen to get back to winning ways.
