Football Insider reports via the Inside Track podcast that Tottenham are not planning to sack Thomas Frank in the immediate future, despite growing unrest among both players and supporters following a poor run of results and a heated post‑match confrontation after the 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth.[2]

Frank, who left Brentford to take charge at Spurs six months ago, has overseen a difficult spell, with the team sitting 14th in the Premier League on just 27 points from 21 games and only one win in their last six league outings.[2] The late loss at Bournemouth, sealed by Antoine Semenyo’s stoppage‑time goal, sparked angry scenes as fans confronted players and “exchanged words” with them on the pitch, underlining the depth of frustration around the club.[2]

According to O’Rourke’s information on the podcast, the Tottenham hierarchy recognise the pressure Frank is under but have opted to give him more time rather than move swiftly to dismiss him.[2] Club chiefs are described as prepared to back him in the short term, believing that he should be afforded the opportunity to turn form around, even as outside speculation over his future intensifies.[2]

Football Insider also highlights additional tension within the squad, noting that there is unrest among players after Brennan Johnson was allowed to leave for Crystal Palace, a decision that has contributed to doubts over Frank’s management and selection choices.[2] Fan dissatisfaction has been evident for weeks, with chants of “boring, boring Tottenham” heard during a recent goalless draw against Brentford, adding to the sense of mounting pressure.[2]

Despite these issues, the club’s stance, as relayed by O’Rourke, is that Frank is not under immediate threat of the sack. The situation will continue to be monitored, but any major decision on his future is expected to be delayed rather than taken in the coming days.[2]
