Thomas Frank issues strong message to the Tottenham board as fans grow restless

Thomas Frank has made an interesting appeal to the Tottenham hierarchy after the team’s latest loss against Nottingham Forest.

Tottenham appear at least three times in the worst five xG scores posted in the Premier League this season, which shows exactly why Spurs supporters have been so agitated this season.

Many of them have never seen their team deliver as many poor attacking displays as the Lilywhites have consistently so far this campaign.

It was the same problem at the City Ground on Sunday, with Tottenham Hotspur registering just one shot on target across the 90 minutes, but Frank believes he is the right man to turn things around.

Thomas Frank says Tottenham’s issues are not a quick fix

Over the past couple of decades, Spurs have been very quick to pull the trigger on managers if things are not going according to plan.

There is a new leadership structure in place at the North London club following Daniel Levy’s exit in September, and Frank has insisted that he needs time to fix the team’s issues.

When asked if he feels he will get time to put the required foundations in place, the Tottenham head coach responded (via Football.London): “I can’t see why not. I think it’s pretty evident that if no one gets the time, no one can turn this around. This is not a quick fix.”

Frank reveals why the next two weeks are crucial

Reports indicate that Frank is not in any danger of being sacked for now, with the Spurs hierarchy willing to back him through this difficult period.

Tottenham do not have any midweek games in the next two weeks, and the Dane admitted that he and his coaching staff are looking forward to doing some important work on the training ground.

When asked about navigating the next few weeks, the 52-year-old said: “First and foremost, we have, I think, finally a more or less full week going into Liverpool next time. After that, we have eight days in to Palace. So that gives a little bit of time to train and try to get on top of some of these things.

“That’s also the challenge. No complaints, just the fact. We try to change things with very little time between games. It’s just a little bit more tricky. But we need to utilise the time in the next two weeks massively. And then we have five games in a short amount of time.”
