Thomas Frank has had a worse start than Ange Postecoglu at Spurs
Tottenham Hotspur’s poor run of form has intensified pressure on head coach Thomas Frank, with growing sections of the fanbase calling for his dismissal following a heavy 3–0 Premier League defeat to Nottingham Forest. Supporters have voiced frustration over tactical decisions and performances, with criticism spreading rapidly across social media platforms.
Reports in sections of the media indicate that confidence within the Tottenham boardroom may be weakening, as senior figures assess whether the current trajectory can be reversed. Speculation has emerged linking former Barcelona manager Xavi as one of the high-profile names being considered should the club decide to make a change.
Despite the rising noise, Tottenham’s hierarchy is understood to be maintaining public backing for Frank at this stage. Club leadership has signalled a willingness to support the Danish coach through the current downturn and provide reinforcements in the transfer window rather than act immediately.
Frank has also addressed the situation directly, conceding that recent performances have fallen below expectations. He has emphasised that the rebuilding process requires time, an approach that has divided opinion among fans and analysts over whether patience or decisive action is required.
The debate has been further fuelled by comments from former Spurs part-owner Lord Sugar, who suggested that an elite appointment such as Jurgen Klopp could dramatically change the club’s fortunes. For now, Frank remains in charge, but upcoming results are expected to be crucial as speculation around potential successors continues to grow.
