Tottenham boss Thomas Frank insists he has the backing of the club's board despite mounting pressure on his job. The Dane claimed to have lunch with key figures in the Spurs leadership on Monday after a toxic 2-1 home defeat to relegation-threatened West Ham.

Frank was handed the Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund, sparking speculation about his future. However, he remains adamant that he has the support of those above him and is determined to turn the team's fortunes around.

Frank revealed that he had a meeting with Spurs' chief executive Nick Beucher and sporting director Johan Lange, stating that all was well between them. "I've just been feeling the trust along the way," Frank said. "I've said that every press meeting, that there's backing and support."

Despite this reassurance, Frank acknowledges that some fans have turned against him, with chants of 'sacked in the morning' echoing around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after last weekend's defeat to West Ham. However, he believes his focus should be on winning football matches rather than trying to win over every fan.

Frank accepts that not everyone will support him and that it is a normal part of being a manager in football. "You don’t like to see any manager lose their job, but it hasn’t just felt like the right fit for both parties so far," he said. "I hope it turns round for him - it’s not nice to see anyone struggling in football - but it doesn’t quite seem like it’s working for anybody."

Frank will take a depleted squad into the Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund, with only 11 senior players available due to injuries and suspensions. The Dane is confident that his team can respond positively and make a statement.
 
I don't get why everyone's making such a big deal about this Tottenham manager guy. He's still got the backing of the club from what he says, so I guess that's all that matters. It's like when my friend's boss is on thin ice at work and they're like "yeah, everything's fine". It doesn't always mean it's true, but you gotta give 'em a chance, right? 😐

I feel bad for the fans who are against him, I guess, because it can be tough to see your team struggling. But at the same time, if he's still getting support from the club above him, maybe he just needs some more time to turn things around? 🤔 It's like how my sister was learning to ride a bike and she fell off like, five times before she finally got it right... maybe this guy just needs a little more practice 😉.
 
I feel bad for Thomas Frank, he's definitely under a lot of pressure right now 🤕. I mean, who doesn't love their job? But when things aren't going well, it's hard to keep the confidence up 💔. He's been saying that he has backing from the board, but it's not just about him being optimistic - it's about whether or not the fans believe him 🤔. I think it's cool that he's focusing on winning matches rather than trying to win over everyone, though - that's just good old-fashioned footballing sense 👏. And 11 players isn't much, but if they can pull off a big win against Dortmund, who knows? Maybe things start looking up for Tottenham 🎉!
 
I think Spurs fans are being a bit harsh on Frank... 🤔 I mean, he's got a tough job, taking over from someone like Pochettino, and you can't expect him to turn the ship around overnight. And yeah, maybe some fans have been too quick to jump to conclusions, but it's all part of the game now. The pressure's on, and you can't blame them for wanting the best for the team. 🏆 But what I find interesting is that Frank's staying calm and focused on the next match – that Borussia Dortmund game looks like a big test for him and his squad... 💪
 
man... its crazy how things can get so intense in football, you know? like franks got the backing of the board but theres still this whole vibe of him being on thin ice, meanwhile hes still trying to focus on winning games 🤯 "you don’t like to see any manager lose their job". its like hes got the support from above but also theres a part of him thats wondering if he actually belongs there. and yeah i get what he says about focusing on the pitch instead of pleasing every fan, but cant help feeling for the guy who's just trying to do his job 💔
 
I feel bad for Frank, he's been doing a tough job trying to turn Spurs around after that huge decline in form. I think it's great that he's staying focused on winning the next match, even though some fans are getting really vocal about him leaving. It's football, you can't please everyone, and Frank is showing class by not getting too caught up in all the negativity. But still, a depleted squad for the Champions League game? That's gonna be tough against Dortmund 🤔💪
 
omg what's going on at Spurs?! 🤔 so Thomas Frank thinks he has the board's backing but it seems like fans are super divided about him... i mean, 2-1 loss to West Ham isn't exactly great form 😬 especially with all those chants of 'sacked in the morning' - that's harsh! 🙅‍♂️ anyway, i think Frank is right that he shouldn't focus on winning over every fan, but at the same time, it's hard not to feel like something's gone wrong when the fans are against him... do you think he'll get the chop after the Dortmund game? 🤞
 
omg what's going on at spurs lol 🤔💀 they're having some major issues and it's like, anyone would be under pressure after losing 2-1 to west ham 😳 especially with borussia Dortmund coming up in the champions league... frank seems pretty chill about it tho, i guess he's trying not to get too caught up in what the fans are saying 🙅‍♂️ but seriously though, having lunch with the top brass doesn't seem like enough to turn things around if you ask me 🤷‍♀️ maybe he just needs a miracle 💫 or some major squad reinforcements... 11 players is super thin for a champions league game 🚨 anyone know what's going on with all these injuries and suspensions? 🤔
 
😊 Tottenham boss Thomas Frank seems like one of those managers who just wants to do what's best for the club, even when it's tough on him personally. I mean, who hasn't had some fans turn against them after a bad loss? 🤔 The thing is, he's still got faith in himself and his team, which is awesome to see. 💪 I think it's great that he's focusing on winning games rather than trying to win over every fan – it's just not possible for him to do that, you know? 😊

I'm rooting for him, though! 🙏 A depleted squad against Dortmund in the Champions League is going to be a tough one. But hey, maybe Frank's got some tricks up his sleeve? 🔮
 
Wow 😅 this Tottenham manager guy Thomas Frank seems like he's got some 'splainin' to do after all those chants of "sacked in the morning"... 🤣 interesting how he's trying to stay focused on winning games rather than pleasing the fans, gotta respect that 💪
 
Ugh, poor guy's still stuck in denial 🙄. Like, hello, fans are literally chanting 'sacked in the morning'... how much more clear do they need it? 😂 I feel for him, though - being a manager is tough, and you can't please everyone. But come on, Frank, have you considered that maybe, just maybe, your tactics aren't working out as well as you thought? 🤔 Still, he's gonna get the team ready to crush Borussia Dortmund 💪... wish him luck, I guess 😅
 
I feel bad for Frank, gotta say. Fans are harsh, you know? He's got the board on his side, but it's hard when everyone's gonna be shouting at you on the pitch 🤦‍♂️. And yeah, he's not gonna win over every fan, that's just part of the game. I think it's cool that he's focusing on getting the wins rather than trying to please everyone. It's all about winning those matches and turning things around 💪.
 
omg I think Frank's just digging himself deeper 🙅‍♂️ he's got to stop saying there's backing and support from the board because now it's like "yeah right" even to Spurs fans who wanna see him succeed 💔 what if he does lose his job? will he admit defeat? I don't know but one thing's for sure, he needs to start performing on that pitch ASAP ⚽️
 
man i remember when spurs used to have some real talent back in 2007... they were always so consistent under liverpool's former gaffer avram grant lol 😂 now frank seems like a cool guy, doesn't seem too bothered by the drama at home but he gotta win that champs league game for spurs or else it'll be another season of heartbreak 🤕
 
I think Frank is kinda right that he's got backing from the board... but at the same time, I'm pretty sure he's just saying what they want him to say lol 🤣. It's like, yeah okay, you said there's trust, but also can't we just focus on beating West Ham without all these chants? 😂 And seriously, is 11 senior players really enough for a big game against Dortmund? 🙄. I mean, Frank says his team can turn it around, but I'm not so sure... unless they actually do have some decent superstars hiding in the squad somewhere! 🤔
 
omg i feel so bad for tommy frank 🤕 he's been through so much already but like, i think he's handling it really well! 😊 the thing is, you can't win everyone over, right? some fans are just gonna be super harsh, and that's okay. what matters is how he responds to it all - and from what he says, he's still got the support of the club behind him 🙏 so yeah, i'm rooting for him to turn things around! 💪 esp with that big champ league game coming up, i think they can make a statement and show everyone what they're capable of! ⚽️ fingers crossed for tommy frank 🤞
 
omg u guys I'm literally so confused about this spurs situation right now like Thomas Frank says he's got the backing of the club but there's still tons of pressure on him & fans are super against him 🤔👀 i get it tho sometimes u gotta keep calm & focus on winning matches rather than trying to win everyone over, but it's hard when ur own team is struggling like 2-1 to relegation-threatened west ham is no joke 💥 anyway gotta respect frank for staying calm & confident despite all this drama 💪
 
I feel bad for Thomas Frank, you know? People thinking they're gonna boo him off the pitch just 'cause he had a tough game... but it's not about him being perfect, it's about the team working together 💪. I mean, I get it, fans have every right to be frustrated when things aren't going well, but at the end of the day, it's the team's performance that matters 🤦‍♂️. Can we just try to support our managers and give them a chance to turn things around?
 
omg i feel bad for tommy frank lol he's trying so hard but it's not working out 🤷‍♂️. i get what he says about fans turning against him, but come on, 11 senior players is like, super depleted squad 🤦‍♂️ how can u expect to win with that? also, being told 'sacked in the morning' tho...it's just harsh 😩. i hope frank gets his act together and proves everyone wrong, but atm it's looking bleak ⚫️
