Tottenham manager Thomas Frank says he is feeling the trust of the club's hierarchy despite a disappointing season. The Dane has been under significant scrutiny, with some members of the executive team even recommending his sacking, but Frank believes that as long as the team wins football matches and makes sure they win enough of them, everyone will support them. He was spotted having lunch with chief executive Vinai Venkatesham and other board members on Monday, which he described as "all good". Frank's position remains under threat despite being given Tuesday's Champions League tie against Borussia Dortmund, a game that could trigger an unlikely turnaround.
The fans have turned against him and the calls for his sacking will only intensify with another negative result. However, Frank is confident that with the right support from the players and the club's hierarchy, he can win back their faith. He said "We need everyone to support us from minute one. Especially the team, especially the players."
The pressure on Frank has been building up after a string of disappointing results, including Saturday's home defeat by West Ham. Spurs are 14th in the Premier League and have won just seven of their 22 games this season. The club is also struggling in the Champions League, sitting 11th in the group stage.
Frank will face another tough test on Tuesday as Tottenham take on Borussia Dortmund at home, with a win being crucial to continue their hopes of qualifying automatically for the knockout stages.

having lunch with vinai and other board members when the fans are literally calling for his head 
i mean, i get it, he's trying to prove a point but come on, 14th in the premier league is not something to brag about 
and sitting 11th in the group stage? that's just embarrassing 
gotta say, i'm loving the confidence of the fans who are calling for his sacking 
maybe he should listen to them for once instead of just saying "we need everyone's support" 
. The numbers don't lie, Spurs are 14th in the league and they've had a string of disappointing results 
. Frank's been under fire for months and it's hard to see how he can turn things around 
. Those board members having lunch with him doesn't exactly fill me with confidence 
. This Borussia Dortmund game could be make or break... we'll see if Frank can deliver on the pitch 
The fact that some execs were saying his head should roll is pretty damning. He's been feeling the trust thing from the club, but how can you feel that way when Spurs are getting hammered in the league and the fans are having a right old moan? 
and it's only getting worse. I mean, 14th in the league and struggling in the Champions League too... 
it's like they're just phoning it in at this point. Frank might be feeling the trust of the hierarchy, but let's be real, that's not good enough 
. The fans are fed up and want results, plain and simple. It's like they say, "you can't win 'em all" 
, but Spurs need to start winning some games just to get back into contention.
.
they're like so inconsistent and i'm lowkey rooting for frank tbh 
he needs to turn it around fast because if they don't qualify for the knockouts, everyone will be calling for his head 
14th in the premier league is just crazy. i feel for him, but at the same time, he's got a point - as long as they're winning matches, people should support them 
gotta have faith in the team and the players too

Newsflash Thomas: it takes more than just a pretty face & a nice lunch to turn around this dumpster fire 
of a season. The fans r tired of his excuses & he needs to step up his A-game if he wants to keep that job 
And what's with all this talk about "support"?!?! Can't they see that Frank is trying his best out here?!?! He needs some actual backing from the people who are supposed to support him, not just empty words and constant criticism... 
. The fans are right to be frustrated, we've been stuck in this mediocre rut for far too long and it's time for some real change 
. We need players who actually want to win, not just collecting paychecks 
. Frank might say all the right things, but if results don't improve, he'll be the first one to go
