- Frank said he would never have taken the cup intentionally and called questions about it disappointing.
- Reports differ on how the cup reached him, with some citing a staff handoff and others saying the source is unclear, while a BBC account referenced by AFP links it to Arsenal's prior game at Bournemouth.
- Tottenham lost 2-3 in stoppage time at Bournemouth and sits 14th in the Premier League, more than 20 points behind leaders Arsenal.
- Social media criticism intensified, with some fans calling for his dismissal largely over poor results rather than the cup incident alone.
