It now feels like a matter of when, not if, Frank is shown the door at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.The Dane is under intense scrutiny following a 2-1 defeat to West Ham on Saturday afternoon, a result that has left him fighting to save his job in north London. Frank's situation worsened further last weekend when Tottenham were knocked out of the FA Cup by Aston Villa in front of their home supporters, extending a worrying run of form.While the board has so far remained patient, frustration among fans continues to grow. Chants of 'you're getting sacked in the morning' have often rung around the stadium."I''ve probably had better times, it's probably not the best time of course," Frank said. "But I understand, I'm the man in charge. So the blame will go to me. That's fair, no problem in that sense. As long as they are backing the players, doing everything they can, to support them and drive them forward, that's what we do, and we will keep going forward."If you're not winning enough, we know you will not get enough support from the fans. But when we're winning, it will change, when we start winning again. Which we will do. I'm not in doubt of that."Frank was appointed Spurs' head coach in June 2025, succeeding Postecoglou. The 60‑year‑old spent two years in charge before being sacked after a 17th‑place Premier League finish and despite ending the club's 17‑year trophy drought by winning the Europa League.FOLLOW OUR TOTTENHAM FB PAGE!
