Tottenham Back Thomas Frank for Now After 3-0 Forest Defeat

The hierarchy signals short-term patience, prioritising January support.

Overview

  • Multiple well-sourced reports from ESPN, The Athletic and BBC/NBC indicate Spurs are not planning an immediate change, with the Lewis family and CEO Vinai Venkatesham favoring a measured approach.
  • Sunday’s 3-0 loss at Nottingham Forest deepened scrutiny, leaving Tottenham 11th with 22 points from 16 league games, their poorest start at this stage since 2008.
  • Club discussions are focused on reinforcing the squad in January, with The Times reporting a push for experienced, first‑team upgrades and potential sales such as Yves Bissouma to create room.
  • Signs of strain include Djed Spence’s angry reaction to substitution and previous post‑match snubs, as Frank publicly insists the turnaround will take time and is “not a quick fix.”
  • Despite stated backing, outlets report contingency tracking of alternatives — including Mauricio Pochettino, Marco Silva and Oliver Glasner — described as monitoring rather than an imminent move.
