Following the defeat by West Ham, Frank claimed he still felt support from the Tottenham board by saying: “I am feeling the backing from everyone, everyone wants the same thing – long-term success.
“We are doing a lot of things right behind the scenes, but we are not getting the results which is crucial.”
