Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank has publicly affirmed his belief in the club's ownership support despite mounting pressure from disappointing results. The Danish tactician, who joined Spurs from Brentford last summer, has secured only one home Premier League victory this season - August's opening match against Burnley.
With just 18 points from 13 matches leaving Tottenham 12th in the standings, sections of the fanbase have grown increasingly critical. This discontent reached a peak during Saturday's 2-1 home defeat to Fulham, where goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario faced boos after a costly error.
"I'm very confident in the board's support," Frank stated. "They're intelligent people who understand building success requires time - every great football dynasty has followed this pattern."
The manager addressed fan frustrations ahead of Tuesday's crucial clash against 13th-placed Newcastle United:
"While I completely understand the disappointment, we must remember Tottenham is nothing without our incredible supporters. My vision is to create a fortress at our stadium, but that can only happen through unity between fans, players, and staff."
Frank defended goalkeeper Vicario following his high-profile mistake that gifted Fulham their second goal, revealing the Italian had shown mental resilience:
"Vic has the right mindset to handle setbacks. Goalkeepers must learn from errors - it's part of their development. He's taken full responsibility, which shows his professional character."
With both teams desperate for points, Tuesday's Newcastle encounter presents an opportunity for Frank to begin turning around Spurs' faltering campaign and reunite the club with its disillusioned supporters.
