Sunday’s north London derby defeat to Arsenal increased the pressure on Tottenham manager Thomas Frank, who took responsibility for the crushing 4-1 defeat at the Emirates. Despite only arriving this summer, there have already been calls from supporters for the former Brentford head coach to be sacked.
Tottenham find themselves 9th in the Premier League table, despite being just four points behind 4th-placed Aston Villa. For now, it appears that Frank will have the next few weeks to turn the club’s fortunes around.
Tottenham do not plan to sack Thomas Frank at the moment
According to Football Insider, Mick Brown has revealed that Tottenham officials currently have no plans to sack Frank.
“That defeat against Arsenal definitely put pressure on Frank. But if you forget that game for a second, they are not in a bad position in the league, they are without some key players and they have had some impressive results. It has by no means been a perfect start, but despite this result there are some positives to look at.
“So from Tottenham’s point of view, I don’t think they’re looking at sacking him at any point. Obviously a bad defeat against Arsenal is always going to have a huge impact on the manager, both from the club and the fans, because they’re not happy. “Then the question is whether you consider it a bad day at the office, or if it’s more serious than that, there are real concerns.
“That’s going to be something to watch over the next few weeks because if they keep losing and the fans aren’t happy, that often leads to the manager facing the axe.
Should Tottenham keep faith in Thomas Frank?
It hasn’t been easy for Tottenham in recent weeks, but it’s time for things to turn around. However, it has to happen soon, otherwise Frank might receive his marching orders.
