Thomas Frank: Tottenham board looking at alternative head coach options after holding talks over Dane's future

Thomas Frank: Tottenham board looking at alternative head coach options after holding talks over Dane's future - Sky Sports
Description

The Tottenham board have not made a final decision about the future of head coach Thomas Frank but are looking at alternative options.

Talks are believed to have taken place at board level about whether Frank should continue after Saturday's 2-1 home defeat by West Ham.

The hierarchy are taking their time to make a decision, while considering potential short-term successors in the event Frank does depart.

The 52-year-old is expected to hold his press conference on Monday ahead of the Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday, as things stand.

The Spurs board want to stick to a long-term plan that includes Frank, which has always been the plan, but Saturday's defeat reached new levels of toxicity at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which could be the point of no return.

There are reports of fans clashing with each other outside the ground, while a video has surfaced on social media of a fan approaching co-owner Vivienne Lewis in the hospitality section and making their feelings known regarding Frank's future.

Unlike the vast majority of managers who have lost their jobs this season, Frank has tried to remain positive, appreciative of this being a difficult period for the club.

He described it as trying to turn around a "super-tanker" and that it was starting to go in the right direction. But that did not show in Saturday's result to relegation-threatened rivals West Ham, who ended a 10-game winless league run.

Not all of the blame can be levelled at Frank. The club is in a transitional phase following the post-Daniel Levy era in which new captains are steering the ship and new staff are still finding their feet in multiple areas.

Either way, though, this feels like an important moment at Tottenham and they will carefully consider the next steps ahead of Tuesday's Champions League home game against Borussia Dortmund.

Booed off and sacked chants from own fans - but Frank defiant

Under-pressure Frank remained defiant despite being loudly booed off by his own fans, who chanted 'you're getting sacked in the morning' at him following the 2-1 home defeat to West Ham.

Callum Wilson's last-gasp winner sparked toxic scenes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as the South Stand called for the Dane to go after a run of eight defeats in 14 matches.

On Sunday morning, Spurs chief executive Vinai Venkatesham arrived at the training ground along with Frank and the players.

At his post-match press conference, Frank said of the boos and chants: "Of course, I probably have had better times. I understand - I'm the man in charge, so the blame will go to me. That's fair, no problem in that sense.

"As long as they are backing the players, doing everything they can to support them and drive them forward, and we will keep going forward."

Frank was surprisingly upbeat in his post-match press conference, likening his job to turning a "super tanker" around with Spurs sitting 14th in the table, 10 points above the drop zone.

Ahead of kick-off, Venkatesham released an open letter in the matchday programme which addressed several issues, including the relationship with the fans and player trading.

"I've seen the letter," Frank said, "and I took six to eight positive things out of the letter, not the negative things.

"What I take out of that letter is that a club, an executive team with Vinai on top, that are aligned and know that this is a big transition phase and it's a super tanker, we're turning in the right direction.

"And there's a lot of good signs behind the scenes, also in some of the performances.

"But of course, when you lose last minute to one of your rivals, it's very emotional in football, and there'll be noise.

"And that noise we need to keep out there and get [our] head down and keep walking, keep doing the right thing."

Frank also faced questions over team leaks on Friday, but he insisted he was not worried.

The Dane also believes his side are "close to something very good" despite a winless start to 2026.

Asked why he deserved more time, Frank replied: "If you're not winning enough, we know that you're not getting enough support from the fans.

"But when we're winning, it will change when we start winning again, which we will do. Not in doubt of that. I also think you can look a little bit at the performances.

"Let's say Bournemouth and Villa and this game here, if the players stop running or stop doing anything or not working hard, and we were not the team that was closest to winning, then you can say, okay. But I think the team is working very hard.

"And I still think, and I know it sounds a little bit crazy, that we're close to something very good than further away.

He added: "I can promise that I'm sitting here and giving everything every single day.

"I feel the trust from everyone and there's only one way, and it's to keep going."

How Sky Sports reported on the Tottenham fans' response to Frank

Sky Sports' Oliver Yew at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium:

After West Ham scored late on: "The home fans are singing 'sacked in the morning' towards Thomas Frank, those of them that are left in their seats. There's a mass exodus at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as the West Ham fans celebrate."

At full time: "The boos die down before restarting again. The fans filing out by the press box are making their feelings known as well.

"Frank then makes his way to the tunnel, applauding as he goes. He's booed again and there's another chorus of 'sacked in the morning'. I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before."

Wolves vs Newcastle teams reminder

Premier League table

Here's how the teams stack up ahead of today's action...

Edwards: Confidence has grown at Wolves

Wolves boss Rob Edwards speaking on Sky Sports Premier League about what has changed since his first game in charge:

"There's more confidence now. I think there's more belief around.

"I believe we're working harder and there's a little bit more cohension as well.

"Confidence is a thing you can't just grab or give to someone straightaway and it's taken a bit of time to get here.

"We're going to have dips and lows and everything as the season goes along, but hopefully there's a little bit more resilience now to deal with that and deal with those moments.

"We've come back a couple of times and got points recently, which has been really good.

"There's lots more good things and positives to think about and to see, but you've got to keep going and try to keep some consistency.

"We all want to be in the Premier League, of course that's the aim, but we came into a situation where there was a lot of difficult things going on at the football club, a bit of anger around. That will take some time to turn around.

"We've been improving and our aim is just to try and keep that going."

If there's money to spend, we'll do so, says Howe

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe on PSR constraints:

"I don't count the money.

"I will react to the information I am given and collectively we will come to the right decisions.

"I don't think it's the case that there is a pot of money stood somewhere.

"I think PSR is constantly moving and changing, depending on our income. Lots of thing affect our income, whether we are in the Champions League or how successful we are during the season.

"You can't ever really get one reading on it becuase it changes on a daily basis. We are having to react to that as we go through the season.

"All I can assure everybody is that if there is money to spend, the club are willing to spend it. There's not a case of anyone holding anything back but of course, we have to comply within the rules and we know how important that is."

Wolves' away game against Crystal Palace moved

Wolves' away game against Crystal Palace has been moved from Saturday February 21 to Sunday February 22.

This is due to the Eagles' participation in the Conference League knockout phase play-offs.

The match will now kick off at 2pm and will be shown live on Sky Sports.

Wolves players keen to right wrongs, says Edwards

Rob Edwards believes his Wolves side are itching to “right some of the wrongs” as they look to continue their mini-revival when they welcome Newcastle on Sunday.

Bottom of the table with just two Premier League points to their name on Christmas Day, Wolves were on course to break several unwanted records but they are now unbeaten in four matches in all competitions.

They are still 14 points adrift of safety but Edwards insisted there is nobody looking to cut and run during the January transfer window after draws at Manchester United and Everton and a win over West Ham in recent weeks.

Edwards told a press conference: “With the group that we’ve got at the moment – which is interesting with the position that we’re in – there’s no one knocking on my door saying, ‘I want to go’.

“I’ve not had one of those conversations at all. The group are fighting here right now, and anyone coming in would have to want to be here and want to be ready for the fight.

“A lot of the lads around here want to try and right some of the wrongs. They want to help the club, and want to do well for themselves, but for the football club as well. They really are genuinely all committed.”

How in-demand Wolves wonderkid Mane changed the mood at Molineux

Mateus Mane has scored in each of Wolves' last two Premier League games and made himself undroppable under Rob Edwards at the age of just 18.

Today's officials

Sam Barrott takes charge of today's match, with Tim Wood and Wade Smith his assistants.

The fourth official is Simon Hooper, the VAR is Paul Tierney and the assistant VAR is Richard West.

Jones Knows' prediction

Our resident betting expert has had his say on today's game...

Wolves have quietly become a very difficult team to score against. The standout trend in their recent performances is defensive improvement, and it's backed up by serious underlying numbers.

Across their last six games, only Arsenal can better Wolves' expected goals against process of 0.99 per 90. That's elite territory.

Wolves have faced Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United in that spell. So while the sample size is small, the quality of opposition gives those numbers real credibility.

We know Newcastle are a very different proposition away from St James' Park - and it's the attacking drop-off that's most striking. In their last 17 Premier League away games, they've scored more than 1.5 goals just three times.

On average, Newcastle are managing just 1.2 goals per away game in that run, struggling to generate sustained pressure or high-quality chances on their travels. The 6/5 with Sky Bet on them scoring under 1.5 goals again on the road looks a winner in waiting.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-1

Thomas Frank: Under-pressure Tottenham boss faces pivotal home clash against West Ham on Saturday

Thomas Frank: Under-pressure Tottenham boss faces pivotal home clash against West Ham on Saturday - Sky Sports
Description

Thomas Frank faces the most pivotal game of his Tottenham tenure on Saturday.

A home defeat against relegation-threatened London rivals West Ham, who are 18th and are on a 10-game Premier League winless run, would be simply unthinkable for Frank.

And with West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo also under huge pressure, it is a game which Sky Sports' Tim Sherwood has labelled as 'El Sackico'.

But Frank's press conference on Thursday did not give the impression that his job would be under threat if Spurs were to lose to the Hammers.

In fact, it felt like the Dane had been given some good news over the last few days.

And I get the impression that he has probably been told that he will have at least the coming matches to turn this around, and even possibly until the end of the season.

This felt like a press conference from August or September, when things were rosy for Frank. His answers on Thursday were long, he smiled throughout, and there was an air of defiance.

And why wouldn't there be after a positive week of change for Frank ahead of Saturday's crunch clash.

On Wednesday, he was handed a "top signing" in Conor Gallagher following his £34m arrival from Atletico Madrid.

Then a day later, two announcements came - Frank had hired John Heitinga as his new assistant first-team coach, while at boardroom level, Carlos Raphael 'Rafi' Moersen was appointed director of football operations in a newly created role.

My understanding is that Rafi is not Fabio Paratici's replacement after the co-sporting director's exit at the end of the January transfer window was confirmed on Wednesday.

Rafi will work closely with sporting director Johan Lange in what Tottenham believe is a modern, high-performance football structure, as we wait and see whether Paratici will be replaced.

Can Frank win fans over?

So it has been another week of change at Spurs - and Frank will be hoping for more change on Saturday: the mood of the fans.

Boos once again greeted the full-time whistle after last Saturday's FA Cup third-round home defeat to Aston Villa.

That loss was Tottenham's seventh in their last 13 games, while Frank's side are winless in 2026.

It is why most fans have just not taken to Frank, with some frustrated at his defensive style, while others are upset at things he says in press conferences. The Arsenal cup blunder at Bournemouth has not helped either.

But even before a ball is kicked on Saturday, there could be an air of frustration with protests planned - although it will be intriguing to see the attendance at these protests following the signing of Gallagher.

What is for certain is that if things go wrong against a relegation-threatened London rival, then a toxic Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be hugely troublesome for Frank.

The Lewis family and chief executive Vinai Venkatesham will be there, and if they notice the crowd's unhappiness, then there could be a real issue.

Frank knows that only a win laced with attacking intent will appease his detractors.

Does Frank deserve to be under pressure?

After the Villa defeat, Frank looked like a man under pressure.

But I do have sympathy for the 52-year-old because this squad is not good enough.

If Tottenham were to sell all of their players right now, then arguably only Micky van de Ven and maybe Cristian Romero would go to a bigger club, like Real Madrid or Barcelona.

But then some fans believe that the squad is better than 14th in the Premier League.

The problem for Frank has been that key members of this squad - James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke - have all been missing, with only Solanke just returning from injury.

There has also been so much change going on around Frank at the club, including Daniel Levy's shock exit in September.

This week has been evidence of the new era at Tottenham, and perhaps Frank needs to be given a bit more leeway following the dramatic revolution.

What Frank can control, though, is the style of football, which has rightly contributed to the pressure on him.

A better free-flowing Spurs with the shackles off will help the ex-Brentford boss turn things around.

But ultimately, for Frank, he will just want the victory on Saturday in what many feel is a win-or-bust game.

Thomas Frank: Tottenham boss defiant despite being booed off and own fans chanting 'you're getting sacked' - Sky Sports

Under-pressure Tottenham boss Thomas Frank remained defiant despite being loudly booed off by his own fans, who chanted at him, 'You're getting sacked in the morning' following Saturday's 2-1 home defeat to West Ham.

Callum Wilson's last-gasp winner sparked toxic scenes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as the South Stand called for the Dane to go after a run of eight defeats in 14 matches.

Frank said of the boos and sack chants at his post-match press conference: "Of course, I probably have had better times. I understand - I'm the man in charge, so the blame will go to me. That's fair, no problem in that sense.

"As long as they are backing the players, doing everything they can to support them and drive them forward, and we will keep going forward."

Frank struck a confident tone in his post-match press conference, likening his job to turning a "super tanker" around with Spurs sitting 14th in the table, 10 points above the drop zone.

The Dane exuded a man who has the backing of the Spurs hierarchy in a week which saw him handed a new midfielder in Conor Gallagher and a new first-team assistant coach, John Heitinga.

But neither had the desired effect on Saturday as Spurs were embarrassed by their relegation-threatened London rivals.

Ahead of kick-off, Tottenham chief executive Vinai Venkatesham released an open letter in the matchday programme which addressed several issues, including the relationship between the club and the fans and player trading.

"I've seen the letter," Frank said, "and I took six to eight positive things out of the letter, not the negative things.

"What I take out of that letter is that a club, an executive team with Vinai on top, that are aligned and know that this is a big transition phase and it's a super tanker, we're turning in the right direction.

"And there's a lot of good signs behind the scenes, also in some of the performances.

"But of course, when you lose last minute to one of your rivals, it's very emotional in football, and there'll be noise.

"And that noise we need to keep out there and get head down and keep walking, keep doing the right thing."

Frank also faced questions over team leaks before kick-off, but he insisted he was not worried about the issue.

Frank: We're close to something very good

West Ham ended their 10-game winless run, becoming the second Premier League team this month to get back to winning ways against Spurs after Bournemouth won 3-2 to end their 11-game winless run.

Last Saturday's FA Cup third round home defeat to Aston Villa means it is now three straight losses for Frank.

But Frank believes his side are "close to something very good" despite a winless start to 2026.

Asked why he deserved more time, Frank replied: "If you're not winning enough, we know that you're not getting enough support from the fans.

"But when we're winning, it will change when we start winning again, which we will do. Not in doubt of that. I also think you can look a little bit at the performances.

"Let's say the Bournemouth and the Villa and this game here, if the players stop running or stop doing anything or not working hard, and we were not the team that was closest to winning, then you can say, okay. But I think the team is working very hard.

"And I still think, and I know it sounds a little bit crazy, that we're close to something very good than further away.

He added: "I can promise that I'm sitting here and giving everything every single day.

"I feel the trust from everyone and there's only one way, and it's to keep going."

That trust will now be tested to its limit.

Sherwood pinpoints one thing saving Frank

Sky Sports' Tim Sherwood had labelled the game between Spurs and West Ham as 'El Sackico', but the ex-Spurs midfielder believes the only thing saving Frank is the lack of candidates to replace him.

He told Soccer Saturday after the defeat: "It doesn't look good.

"Spurs cannot win a game at home, and they have lost to their local rivals, who appear doomed at the bottom of the Premier League.

"The pressure is on Frank. But the only thing that might save his job is who could come in?

"They won a trophy last year and finished 17th. They aren't going to win a trophy this year. They are out of both cups and towards the bottom of the league.

"They are still in the Champions League, but it is highly unlikely they win that. Where do Spurs go from here?"

Romero: 'This is a disaster for us'

Another home game awaits Frank next as Spurs host Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday before a must-win Premier League trip to relegation strugglers Burnley.

Should Spurs suffer defeat at Turf Moor and West Ham win, then Tottenham would be seven points above the drop - and the alarm bells will be ringing if they are somehow already not.

Spurs captain Cristian Romero, who scored the equaliser in the defeat to West Ham, admits the situation is disastrous with Tottenham having won just two of their 11 home league games this season.

He told Sky Sports: "We need to stay together, work hard, come back tomorrow to the training ground. It's a disaster in this moment for us.

"Tomorrow we will train in silence, work hard again, and midweek we have another big match.

"At this moment, this is a disaster for us. We played sometimes good, sometimes bad. We must work hard and go again.

"Its' a difficult moment for us. We are not the best on the pitch."

Tottenham 1-2 West Ham: Hammers' last-gasp win piles pressure on Thomas Frank

Tottenham 1-2 West Ham: Hammers' last-gasp win piles pressure on Thomas Frank - Sky Sports
Description

Callum Wilson's last-gasp strike piled the pressure on Thomas Frank as Tottenham were booed off at half-time and full-time following their 2-1 defeat to relegation-threatened West Ham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The game was dubbed 'El Sackico' ahead of the game by former Spurs boss Tim Sherwood because of the pressure on both Frank and Nuno Espirito Santo at West Ham, and it was the visitors who held the early advantage after Crysencio Summerville's 15th-minute goal.

Spurs were second best for the majority of the first half and looked short of ideas before the boos rang out at half-time.

Frank thought his side had rescued a point after Cristian Romero's bullet header (64), but Wilson's stoppage-time strike condemned the hosts to a ninth league defeat of the season and led to Tottenham's South Stand calling for Frank's dismissal.

The final whistle sparked a mass exodus at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The home fans had seen enough but those left started "sacked in the morning" chants aimed at Frank, who was then booed again as he applauded the fans on his way to the tunnel.

On the chants, Frank said: "I've had probably had better times.

"I understand, I'm the man in charge. As long as they back the players to drive them forward, and we will keep going forward."

It was in stark contrast to the West Ham players as they celebrated with their fans after ending a long 10-game winless run in the Premier League as they breathed some life into their bid to beat the drop.

Hammers match winner Wilson said: "It's massive today, the boys played fantastic.

"I think we deserved to be in front on the whole, especially with the chances we had first half. It wasn't to be, but thankfully we ended up getting the three points."

Frank: It hurts a lot

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank on the defeat to West Ham to Sky Sports:

"It's tough to take, it hurts a lot. The boys put everything in, and that's a sign of a squad that is fighting, doing everything they can to try and win. It's fair to say if there was to be a winner in the second half then it should have been us.

"The way we came back into it, the same as at Bournemouth, both games we lost in the last minute. That makes it emotionally tough for the players, me, the club, the fans, everyone. We conceded on a deflected shot and a last-minute corner, which we should have done better with.

"We pushed very hard, to have that extra freshness to put on the pitch would have helped with more quality.

"It's tough times, the only thing we can do is move forward. We have to go again, it's hurting so much, incredibly so for everyone at the club that puts in such hard work.

"But we can only be disappointed and emotionally down for 24 hours, then we must go again on Tuesday."

'It doesn't look good for Frank'

Former Spurs boss Tim Sherwood on Soccer Saturday:

"It doesn't look good. Spurs cannot win a game at home and they have lost to their local rivals, who appear doomed at the bottom of the Premier League.

"The pressure is on Frank. But the only thing that might save his job is who could come in?

"They won a trophy last year and finished 17th. They aren't going to win a trophy this year. They are out of both cups and towards the bottom of the league. They are still in the Champions League but it is highly unlikely they win that.

"Where do Spurs go from here?"

Nuno: We believe we can beat relegation

West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo on his side's chances of avoiding relegation after victory at Spurs:

"It means a lot for our fans, who were there cheering for us. It's special to do it in the last moments of the game, because we have been on the other side of that many times this season.

"We stared really well. The way we were organised, not allowing Spurs to go easy, always trying to press and recover.

"When we had the ball we had good chances and combinations. First half we played really good football.

"We believe [we can escape relegation]. We have to worry about ourselves, work harder and commit more. I'm really proud of the way the players have been dealing with this situation. It's a tough one, but they are determined to turn it around."

They've played 176 games at the ground, with their last 50 defeats at White Hart Lane coming over a 295-game spell between 2006 and 2017.

Tottenham have lost more games thanks to 90th minute winning goals than any other side in Premier League history (29), with this the first time they've done so in consecutive matches in the competition.

West Ham have now conceded in each of their last 19 Premier League games, since a 3-0 win at Nottingham Forest in August. It's their longest run without a clean sheet within a single season in the competition.
