Thomas Frank exclusive: Tottenham boss did not fear for job after West Ham loss but is aware of 'sacked' chants

Thomas Frank, Tottenham's head coach, has revealed that he did not fear losing his job after the recent home defeat against West Ham, despite being booed by his own fans who chanted "sacked in the morning". The chants were once again sung at Burnley last Saturday, but Frank believes that the Champions League qualification has given him a chance to silence the critics.

Frank expressed his commitment to the club and its fans, stating that he knows how football works and that it's easier to blame the head coach rather than acknowledging the bigger picture. He attributed the recent losses to the absence of key players like James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Dominic Solanke.

Frank acknowledged that there have been changes in the club's hierarchy since Daniel Levy's exit, which might have led to the current struggles. However, he believes that the leadership is aligned and working towards the same goal. He wants to defend himself more, as some fans might be demanding change, but remains confident in his ability to guide the team forward.

The most recent win against Eintracht Frankfurt has provided a glimmer of hope for Frank and the fans, with 3,500 supporters clapping him and the players after the match. Frank believes that this shows how wins can turn things around and restore confidence among the fans.
 
I gotta disagree with this guy, I think he's just trying to deflect from his own failures ๐Ÿ™„. The fact that he was booed by his own fans is a big problem, not some minor issue that he can just "silence" with a few wins. And yeah, the absence of key players might have contributed to their losses, but isn't it also Frank's fault for not being able to prepare them properly? I don't think blaming the bigger picture does him any favors ๐Ÿ’”. The whole leadership thing is all well and good, but if they're not winning games, what's the point? And that win against Eintracht Frankfurt might've been a fluke, we'll see how it goes next match ๐Ÿค”.
 
I think Spurs are in a tough spot right now ๐Ÿ˜. Thomas Frank's got his work cut out for him trying to silence the critics with some decent Champions League performances ๐Ÿ’ช. The thing is, it's easy to blame the head coach when you're losing games and your big-name players aren't on the pitch ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ. But Frank's been pretty open about how he knows what's going on behind the scenes, so maybe we should give him a bit more credit for that ๐Ÿ™.

The new leadership might be throwing some curveballs at him, but it sounds like Frank's still got his finger on the pulse ๐Ÿ‘Š. And yeah, that win against Frankfurt was definitely a morale-booster for the fans โ€“ 3,500 clapping after the match is no joke ๐Ÿ˜†. Maybe we'll see a run of wins and suddenly everyone will be singing Thomas Frank's praises ๐ŸŽถ!
 
I feel bad for Tomahs Frank ๐Ÿค” he's been getting roasted by his own fans which is super harsh ๐Ÿ’” i mean yeah, losing to West Ham wasn't great but chanting "get sacked" might be a bit too much ๐Ÿ˜ฉ at least he's taking it on the chin and trying to fix things rather than giving up or making excuses. 3,500 clapping him after the win against Eintracht Frankfurt is awesome though ๐Ÿ™Œ that shows fans are behind him and willing to give him another chance
 
I think the fans are being way too harsh on Thomas Frank ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ. I mean, come on, 1-0 down to West Ham and they're already calling for his head? It's not that bad ๐Ÿ˜‚. And those chants at Burnley were just fans having a laugh, you know how passionate they get when their team is playing poorly ๐Ÿ™ƒ.

And honestly, Frank makes some valid points about the bigger picture ๐Ÿค”. I mean, we can't write off the whole squad just because of a few absent players ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ. And yeah, changes in the club's hierarchy might be contributing to the struggles, but it's not like Frank is completely out of his depth ๐Ÿ˜….

The fact that 3,500 fans were clapping for him and the players after the win against Frankfurt is actually a good sign ๐Ÿคฉ. It shows that there's still confidence in the team and Frank's ability to turn things around ๐Ÿ’ช. Maybe we should be supporting him instead of tearing him apart ๐Ÿ˜‚.
 
idk what's going on w/ Tottenham right now ๐Ÿคฏ they're so inconsistent, one day u r crushing it in the champs league, next day u r getting smashed by a team like West Ham ๐Ÿ˜‚ I think frank is hiding behind the fact that key players are injured ๐Ÿค• but c'mon guys, get some fresh blood in there ๐Ÿ’ช & stop booing your own coach! ๐Ÿ˜ก 3500 fans clapping for him after that win against Frankfurt? lol, that's cute ๐Ÿ™ƒ it just shows u r trying to cling on to the past, not the future ๐Ÿ”œ
 
๐Ÿค” I think it's good that Thomas Frank is standing by his team, even when the fans are booing him ๐Ÿ™. It's true that losing some key players can make a big difference in football, but I also think he needs to admit that there might be some bigger issues with the club's structure or decision-making behind the scenes ๐Ÿค. The fact that he thinks it's easier to blame the head coach than look at the whole picture is actually pretty refreshing ๐Ÿ˜Š. And yeah, getting that win against Eintracht Frankfurt was a great morale booster for everyone! ๐ŸŽ‰ 3500 people clapping him and the players after the match was amazing, I'm sure that lifted his confidence and the fans' spirits ๐Ÿ’ช
 
I mean, can't say I'm surprised by Thomas Frank's reaction ๐Ÿค”. I think it's great that he's owning up to the recent losses and taking responsibility as the head coach. But, gotta agree with him when he says some fans might be too quick to blame someone for things that aren't entirely their fault ๐Ÿ˜. The bigger picture is what matters here, right? I'm glad to see Frank and the team getting back on track with that win against Eintracht Frankfurt ๐Ÿ†... now let's hope it's a sign of things to come ๐Ÿ”ฎ!
 
I'm not surprised to hear Thomas Frank saying what he's saying ๐Ÿค”... I mean, who doesn't love a good underdog story, right? ๐Ÿ˜Š The thing is, though, some of these 'fans' might be acting like they're on season 7 of "The Apprentice" - all about being the villain and getting under people's skin ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ. Meanwhile, Frank is just trying to do his job and figure out what's going on. And honestly? I think he has a point when he says we need to look at the bigger picture ๐ŸŒ. The recent losses aren't all Frank's fault - there are injuries, changes in leadership... it's not that simple. But hey, wins like the one against Frankfurt can really shift the momentum ๐Ÿ’ช. Now, if only those fans could calm down and show some respect for their coach ๐Ÿ™, I think we'd be looking at a much different Spurs team come next season ๐Ÿ”ฎ
 
I'm thinking the Spurs fans are just stressed out from all the expectations on them ๐Ÿคฏ. It's like being a superhero and having to save the world, but also paying bills and buying groceries... I mean, who wouldn't be salty after a few defeats? ๐Ÿ˜‚ The fact that they're chanting for Frank's head is actually kinda hilarious though - it's like they're trying to psych him out before he even knows what's coming. Anyway, if 3,500 people are clapping for him and the players after a win, I think that's all the validation he needs ๐Ÿ’ช. Maybe the Spurs just needed a wake-up call... or maybe it's time for Frank to bring in some fresh blood? ๐Ÿค” Either way, I'm loving this whole drama-filled season so far! ๐Ÿ˜
 
omg just watched the interview with thomas frank about the recent losses and I gotta say i feel bad for the guy ๐Ÿค• his commitment to the club is really admirable, especially considering all the trash he's getting from fans ๐Ÿ™„ but at the same time, you can't deny that their performance has been pretty underwhelming lately... <link to ESPN article about Tottenham's struggles> anyway, it's good to see him standing by his team and not panicking ๐Ÿ’ช and who knows maybe the win against frankfurt was just what they needed to turn things around? ๐Ÿคž
 
I'm not convinced that Thomas Frank's Champions League qualification is going to save his job... ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ† Still, it's good for the team's morale, I guess ๐Ÿ˜Š. Can't say I blame him for being confident after that win against Eintracht Frankfurt - 3,500 clapping fans? That's some serious motivation! ๐Ÿ’ช But at the same time, the fans' chants were pretty harsh... "sacked in the morning" is no joke ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™‚๏ธ. Guess we'll just have to see how it all plays out now ๐Ÿ”ฎ.
 
I'm loving how Spurs is rallying behind Frank ๐Ÿ™Œ! I think he's being super chill about it all, considering those fans were literally booing his head off ๐Ÿ˜‚. But for real, the CL qualification is a huge boost - it's gotta be motivating him to prove some people wrong. The changes in the hierarchy might've taken some time to adjust to, but Frank seems to think they're on the same page now ๐Ÿค. And yeah, those fans chanting "sacked in the morning" were pretty harsh, but maybe they just needed a win like against Eintracht Frankfurt? ๐Ÿ†
 
I feel for Thomas Frank, he's got a tough job trying to win over both the fans and the board. All these booing sessions are not easy to deal with, but you've got to give him credit - he's still standing ๐Ÿ™Œ. He knows what went wrong and is trying to address it, even if it's not always popular. I think that recent Champions League qualification push was just the shot in the arm they needed - a win against Eintracht Frankfurt was a much-needed confidence booster ๐Ÿ’ช. It's all about perspective, Frank's right that there are bigger issues at play than just one head coach. Hopefully, he can keep the momentum going and turn things around for Spurs ๐Ÿ‘
 
man ๐Ÿ˜Š i think frank is reading the signs right, that recent win against frankfurt has got to be a momentum booster for them! 3500 fans clapping him & the lads is proof that there's still faith in the team, even if some fans were booing him last time. and fair play to frank for owning up to the struggles & blaming it on the injuries instead of making excuses ๐Ÿค i think he's got a good head on his shoulders to keep pushing forward, especially with that champs league qualification on the line ๐ŸŽ‰
 
I gotta say, I'm loving the comeback from Spurs ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ! Thomas Frank's got some nerve, but you gotta respect his determination to prove himself. I mean, who wouldn't want to silence those critics after all that boozing at home games ๐Ÿ˜‚? The Champions League qualification is definitely a blessing in disguise for him and the team.

But seriously, it's easy to blame the head coach when things aren't going well, but Frank's trying to take the high road here ๐Ÿ™. He's acknowledging the bigger picture and giving credit where credit is due (like those key players being out). And that win against Eintracht Frankfurt was pure magic โœจ! I'm loving the 35,000 fans' reaction โ€“ it's clear the team's got some momentum now.

Let's see how this all plays out from here... Will Frank be able to keep the faith and lead Spurs back up? ๐Ÿค” Only time will tell!
 
come on thomas frank is outta touch lol his fans are literally booing him like he's some sort of villain ๐Ÿ™„ they're not even mad at him, they just wanna see some results ASAP but instead of blaming frank for all the losses, they should be saying what went wrong with the team strategy and tactics ๐Ÿ”ฅ maybe if he listened to them more often he'd know how to turn it around ๐Ÿ˜’
 
Im thinkin, yeah he's right about the fans bein all over each other ๐Ÿค”. They love to hate their team sometimes, ya know? And it's easy for them to point fingers at the coach when things aren't goin well. But Frank's not afraid of that noise, and I gotta respect him for stayin committed even when it feels like the whole stadium is against him ๐Ÿ˜‚. The fact that he knows how football works and isn't gettin too caught up in the negativity is what sets him apart. And with that recent win against Frankfurt, he's definitely got a point - wins can really shift the momentum and help build confidence back up ๐Ÿ”ฅ.
 
oh man, i feel you thomas frank is a good guy & he's trying his best out there but it's tough when u r getting booed by ur own fans even though u know u are doing ur part ๐Ÿค•๐Ÿ’” it's like people forget that football is a team sport not just about one person. and yeah, james maddison, dejan kulusevski & dominic solanke missing is huge! but i think frank's point about the bigger picture being what everyone should focus on instead of blaming him all the time is so true ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ’ฏ
 
OMG did u see those chants? ๐Ÿคฏ Like what's wrong w/ these fans?! They're so harsh on poor Thomas Frank ๐Ÿ˜”! I feel for him, tbh. He's trying to do his best & keep them in the Champions League, but it's like they're more concerned w/ his job security ๐Ÿ’ผ than supporting their team ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ! And, honestly, who can blame him 4 saying there's a bigger picture 2 worry about? It's not just Frank's fault that they lost a few games โšฝ๏ธ. The absence of key players does make it tough 4 him & the rest of the squad ๐Ÿค•. But, on a more positive note, those 3500 fans clapping after their win against Frankfurt was SO cool ๐ŸŽ‰! Maybe this is the wake-up call Frank needs 2 rally his team & get them back on track ๐Ÿ”ฅ!
