Thomas Frank believes he will be given the time to build success at Tottenham, despite the recent home defeat to Fulham and his subsequent criticism of the fans. Frank, the Spurs manager, refused to back down from his comments, but acknowledged the importance of connecting with the fans and performing well to regain their support.
Frank also defended Pedro Porro, who posted a message on social media expressing his anger at the fans' disrespect towards his teammates. Porro's comments were deemed fair and reasonable by Frank, who emphasized the players' right to have their own opinions. However, Tottenham's recent form has been poor, with only three wins in their last 13 games across all competitions.
Frank remains confident in the long-term backing of the new Spurs management group, led by Vinai Venkatesham, following Daniel Levy's departure. He believes that the owners are intelligent and capable business leaders, and that building a sustainable dynasty takes time and effort. Frank also rejected suggestions that he has lost the support of a significant portion of the fanbase, calling on all supporters to unite behind his team.
Despite the challenges, Frank remains optimistic and focused on turning the team's fortunes around, starting with the upcoming match against Newcastle.
