Defiant Tottenham boss sends blunt message to board as crisis deepens

Thomas Frank has urged the Tottenham hierarchy to keep cool heads and resist sacking him after a damaging 2-1 home defeat by Newcastle left the club hovering dangerously close to the relegation zone.

The Danish tactician remains convinced he is the right man to lead the north Londoners forward.

Pressure has intensified significantly following the result, with the club now sitting just five points above the bottom three.

However, the Spurs head coach remains adamant that a knee-jerk reaction would be a mistake.

Frank confident of North London derby role

When asked if he would still be in the dugout for the upcoming clash against Arsenal, Frank offered a resolute response to the assembled media.

“I’m convinced I will still be in charge.”

The under-fire manager acknowledged the intense scrutiny regarding his position but insisted the responsibility is shared across the institution.

“I understand the question and easy to point to me, but it’s about the whole club.”

‘We need to stick together’

Despite the precarious league position, the 50-year-old expressed total belief in his capabilities to turn the tide.

“1,000 per cent sure [I’m the man who should be in charge] and I’m 1,000 per cent sure I thought we would be doing better.”

Referencing previous managerial casualties at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, he called for stability during this turbulent period.

“There have been a few before me up here at Tottenham and at other clubs that have lost their head but we need to stick together and keep a calm head.”
