However, it was Callum Wilson who had the final say, scoring the winning goal for the visitors in stoppage time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p data-mce-linkchecker-status=\"valid\">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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>BBC Sport has shed light on Tottenham&#8217;s current stance regarding Frank&#8217;s tenure at the club. Although a final decision has not yet been announced, it has been suggested that Spurs&#8217; board are discussing Frank&#8217;s future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The report also reveals that there have been concerns among some members of Tottenham&#8217;s hierarchy over Frank&#8217;s role as manager in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>As it stands, no formal decision has been made regarding Frank&#8217;s future at Tottenham. The 52-year-old only took over last summer, replacing Ange Postecoglou.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>When Tottenham lost to West Ham, some members of the north London home crowd expressed their displeasure with Frank, with chants of &#8220;you&#8217;ll be sacked in the morning&#8221; echoing throughout the stadium.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>When asked about the reception he received from Spurs fans, the Tottenham manager gave a frank assessment of the situation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;Of course there were better times, and of course this may not be the best time, but I know, I&#8217;m in charge, so I&#8217;m responsible,&#8221; Frank said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s fair. It&#8217;s fine in that sense. As long as they&#8217;re rooting for the players and supporting them and doing everything they can to move them forward, that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re supposed to do and we&#8217;ll keep moving forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Spurs&#8217; attention now turns to Tuesday night&#8217;s Champions League clash with Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund, and Frank and his team will be keen to get back to winning ways.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/2159281\/thomas-frank-tottenham-manager-latest\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thomas Frank&#8217;s future at Tottenham Hotspur remains uncertain following defeat in the Premier League.
