Tottenham manager ‘1,000% sure’ he should carry on
Fans booed and jeered the Dane once again during defeat
Thomas Frank remains convinced he has the support of the Tottenham board and will continue in his job as manager, arguing that the club’s problems run deeper than him. The Dane watched his team lose 2-1 at home to Newcastle on Monday night; they have won just twice in 17 Premier League games and lag 16th in the table, five points above the relegation zone.
It was another night when the Spurs fans booed and jeered him. At one point, they sang for Mauricio Pochettino, their former manager, who is now in charge of the USA national side, while they also told Frank towards the end of the game that he should be “sacked in the morning”.
Frank was defiant, citing an extensive injury list and the club’s difficulties in combining the demands of domestic and European football. He was without 10 injured players against Newcastle and lost another one, Wilson Odobert, in the 34th minute. The captain, Cristian Romero, is suspended.
