Thomas Frank takes training as uncertainty rages over his Tottenham future

Frank under intense pressure after West Ham defeat

Irate supporters call for his sacking with team 14th

Thomas Frank oversaw training at Tottenham on Sunday and maintained a business-as-usual front before the club’s Champions League tie against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night – despite the uncertainty that is raging over this future.

The manager’s continued employment is in the balance after Spurs’ last-gasp 2-1 home defeat against West Ham on Saturday when the club’s supporters called for him to be “sacked in the morning”. The result kept Tottenham 14th in the Premier League and continued their miserable run in the competition. They have won only two of their past 13 games in the league.

Spurs do remain alive in the Champions League, with a good chance of progressing to the knockout phase. The club are braced for empty seats in their stadium for the visit of Dortmund.
