A report has shed light on what the Lewis family and the Tottenham top brass are thinking about Thomas Frank’s future after seeing the club humiliated at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
Frank is now a man under a lot of pressure, as some of the performances he has overseen of late have been as bad as any Tottenham fans have seen over the last few years.
Spurs registered an xG of just 0.07 at the Emirates Stadium, just a few weeks after posting an even worse xG in the London derby against Chelsea.
Frank did not help himself by avoiding some questions in the post-match press conference, and there is a definite sense that the fan base is now turning on him.
Tottenham are remaining loyal to their head coach
The Telegraph have now revealed that the Lewis family have been clear that they are targeting long-term sporting success under Frank.
They are thus not expected to make any knee-jerk, short-term decisions over the coming weeks or months.
The report says that the 4-1 loss to Arsenal was described as a ‘painful day’ by Tottenham insiders.
MORE SPURS STORIES
However, it is revealed that more than one source at Hotspur Way has insisted that the Spurs hierarchy are not panicking and have their eyes firmly set on the long-term.
Spurs hierarchy may have Frank sack decision foisted on them
During his time as Arsenal chief, Vinai Venkatesham showed faith in Mikel Arteta despite the Spaniard struggling in his first two and a half seasons, and that has borne fruit for the Gunners.
One suspects that he will be inclined to do the same at Tottenham, having himself played a part in the hiring of Frank.
However, if the supporters turn on the Dane and the atmosphere becomes toxic at the stadium (which it is already on the verge of being), the Spurs top brass will have no choice but to pull the plug on this project.
