Thomas Frank claims struggling Tottenham are heading the right way
Thomas Frank stated on Thursday that Tottenham Hotspur remain cohesive with numerous elements progressing positively as he seeks to revive their Premier League efforts.
The scrutiny on the Tottenham manager diminished after a 2-0 triumph against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday, yet failing to secure a win at struggling Burnley this weekend would heighten questions about his tenure.
The Danish coach informed journalists during his Thursday pre-match briefing that, despite the surrounding chatter, backing from the club's leadership has been outstanding all season.
I recognise some concerns regarding my role, but this is not focused on me alone, noted the 52-year-old.
This involves me, the coaching team, the squad, and the whole club, all needing to pull together. That focus and unity is plain from the owners through to the directors.
Everyone shares the same outlook, and plenty of aspects are moving forward correctly.
He continued: I meet Vinai (Venkatesham, the chief executive) for lunch three times each week, since it provides a solid opportunity to chat and cover the various minor tasks required, especially with our full calendars of discussions and matches.
Tottenham supporters sang Youre getting the boot first thing tomorrow following their 2-1 loss at home to bottom-of-the-table West Ham last week, which placed them 14th in the standings.
The north London outfit have already been eliminated from both home cup tournaments, although the success over Dortmund has earned advancement to the Champions League knockout phase.
The Tottenham head coach faced questions on the prospects of centre-back Micky van de Ven, who has been rumoured to interest Liverpool.
He mentioned that the Dutch defender appears content in the capital.
Hes an exceptional talent and a superb representative for our side, Frank remarked. This might be his strongest campaign with us so far. Hes evolving into a guiding figure and a crucial component for what lies ahead.
I view him as a key part of our team. Micky stands as a Tottenham player for the present and the years to come.
