Tottenham have made a decision regarding Thomas Frank’s future that may frustrate fans and increase tensions inside the stadium.
Thomas Frank’s reign at Tottenham Hotspur has so far failed to spark excitement, with Spurs playing some of the dullest football in the Premier League. While frustration over the Dane’s tactical approach continues to grow among supporters, the club’s poor results have become an even bigger concern.
Tottenham currently find themselves 14th in the league standings, with the distance to the Champions League qualification spots increasing week by week. Despite their struggles, the club’s hierarchy has chosen to remain patient with Frank for now.
Football Insider reports that Spurs have no immediate plans to dismiss the manager, as there is still internal confidence that he can steady the ship and improve performances.
Speaking on the situation, journalist Pete O’Rourke said: “It was a damaging late defeat against Bournemouth. Tottenham actually performed reasonably well but once again came away empty-handed, leaving them 14th in the table. Pressure is undoubtedly mounting on Thomas Frank, and fan dissatisfaction is becoming more visible.
Supporters were heard chanting ‘boring, boring Tottenham’ during last week’s scoreless draw with Brentford.
“The players were booed off following the Sunderland game, and after the final whistle against Bournemouth there were confrontations between the squad and travelling fans. There’s a clear sense of unrest at the club right now, but I don’t believe Tottenham are actively considering a managerial change. They want to give Frank time to see if results improve.”
Although Spurs are sticking with Frank for the moment, his future remains uncertain as the season continues to fall short of expectations.
