Thomas Frank remains wholly convinced that Tottenham’s hierarchy will continue to support him despite the north London outfit’s difficulties and an increasingly fractious atmosphere with supporters. Spurs have secured just three victories from their last 13 fixtures under the Dane, while their dismal home record, with only three Premier League wins throughout 2025, persisted with Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Fulham.

The match prompted jeers from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium crowd at the interval, final whistle and towards Guglielmo Vicario following an early mistake in the match. Frank labelled those who ridiculed the Italian shot-stopper as “not true Tottenham fans” following the encounter, and the 52-year-old is facing mounting pressure from the fanbase regarding a Spurs side that is failing to create opportunities while shipping 13 goals across their previous four outings.

The Spurs hierarchy made a significant call last summer to dismiss Ange Postecoglou a fortnight after the Aussie secured the club its first silverware in 17 years with their Europa League success.

Postecoglou left because of Tottenham’s 17th-position league standing, yet compared to this point last campaign, Frank’s 10th-placed squad have netted seven fewer goals, let in two more, and has two fewer points.

Frank is assured, however, that he will be afforded the opportunity to develop his Spurs vision by the Lewis family, who control the club, and chief executive Vinai Venkatesham, who demonstrated patience whilst at Arsenal with Mikel Arteta‘s early-season challenges on the opposite side of north London.

“I’m very confident. I think the ownership – of course I’m just starting to know them – but it seems like they’re good guys, intelligent people,” said Frank.

“They know how to run businesses and learning about football, learning more now they’ve become owners.

“I think when we’re dealing with intelligent people they can see every successful dynasty, every successful club has taken time. Yeah you have one where you maybe win one year or the second year, but you can’t sustain it if you don’t build something sustainable. It’s impossible.”

Spurs face a challenging fixture on Tuesday as they attempt to reverse their recent form, travelling to St James’ Park to take on Eddie Howe’s resurgent Newcastle side in the Premier League.
