Thomas Frank's future at Tottenham Hotspur hangs in the balance after another disastrous home loss, this time to Burnley, which saw his team snatch a 2-2 draw with a late header from Cristian Romero. The victory did little to alleviate the mounting pressure on Frank, who has been struggling to inspire his side, now sitting 17th in the Premier League table.
The Tottenham Hotspur stadium was once again the venue for a familiar backdrop of discontent among travelling fans, who have grown increasingly vocal in their displeasure with Frank's tenure. The atmosphere turned ugly as Spurs' players struggled to impose themselves on the Burnley defense, and chants of "sideways and backwards everywhere we go" echoed around Turf Moor.
Micky van de Ven opened the scoring for Spurs just before half-time but they soon found themselves behind after Burnley equalised through Axel Tuanzebe. The Clarets then took the lead in the dying minutes with Lyle Foster's second goal, which would have effectively sealed Frank's fate if Tottenham had not secured a last-gasp draw.
The defeat has further intensified speculation about Frank's future at Spurs, with reports suggesting that at least one member of the club's executive team is pressing for his sacking. The Dane's response to the game was characteristically subdued, and while he acknowledged Spurs' chances of winning were "measured", his tone suggested growing frustration.
The question on everyone's lips now is whether Frank will be given a chance to turn Spurs around or if it's time for him to leave. A win over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League has provided some respite, but the Premier League form continues to raise serious doubts about Frank's ability to steer the team back towards safety.
With a challenging fixture list ahead, including a home game against Manchester City and visits to Manchester United and Newcastle, Spurs' hierarchy must decide whether they should move quickly to relieve Frank of his duties or give him an opportunity to salvage his tenure.

I mean, 17th in the league? That's not a bad position for a rebuild, but it feels like they're stuck in neutral mode right now. Frank's gotta take some responsibility here, I get that he's under pressure and all, but you can't just chalk it up to bad luck or injuries. The fans are getting restless, and rightfully so - we've invested a gazillion pounds in that stadium, we deserve better than this 
.
. The fact that they're getting booed off their own turf is pretty telling. Spurs need to get its act together and fast, or they'll be watching the relegation scrap from the stands 
.
this is getting old.. tottenham's problems run deep. it's not just frank's fault tho - the whole squad needs a shake up. cristian romero, like, who is he supposed to be? all of a sudden he's a hero for scoring that header lol. seriously though, the team's lack of creativity and cohesion is what's really worrying me. i get it, they've got some young players coming up, but when are we gonna see them make an impact? 
at least borussia Dortmund gave us a bit of hope... now let's focus on getting that win against city and see if frank can finally prove himself 
HE'S BEEN DOING THE SAME THINGS OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND IT'S JUST NOT WORKING. I FEEL LIKE CHANTING "SIDeways AND BACKWARDS EVERYWHERE WE GO" TOO!!! 
THE FANS ARE GETTING MORE AND MORE RESTLESS BY THE MATCH AND IT'S HARD TO BLAME THEM. A WIN OVER BORUSSIA DORTMUND WAS A GOOD OUNCE OF LUCK, BUT IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE, YOU CAN'T JUST RIDE THAT KIND OF FORM FOREVER. I THINK IT'S TIME FOR FRANK TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND MAKE SOME CHANGES BEHIND THE SCENES BEFORE HE LOSES THE SUPPORT OF THE FANS COMPLETELY!!! 
. They're 17th in the league and it's like they're stuck in neutral 
. The pressure on Frank is building up but he still can't seem to inspire his team 
. And now with this defeat against Burnley, it's like they're digging themselves into a hole 
. I mean, who knows how much more of this they can take? A win against Dortmund was just luck, we'll see if they can replicate that 
. The question is, when will Spurs' hierarchy wake up and smell the coffee 
️? It's time for Frank to go, or else 
micky van de ven scored but that's not enough, we need more consistency 
️ and cristian romero's late header is just the icing on the cake 
but seriously, spurs fans need to calm down and support their manager through thick and thin 
. The fans r gettin so fed up and it shows in the crowd, it was like a war scene out there 
. We need somethin to click soon or else its gonna be a long season 
. Maybe a win over Dortmund was just that - a wake-up call? Time will tell if Spurs can get their act together or if they need some serious shake-ups 
.
.
.
.
. What do you guys think? Am I just bein' paranoid, or is there some truth to this conspiracy theory? 
borussia Dortmund might have given them some breathing room in the Champions League, but premier league form is still a major concern 
borussia dortmund might've given them a lifeline but the premier league form is still pretty weak atm. i'm not one to jump on ppl's throats but frank's gotta step up his game or get outta the way 
Can they even turn their season around? 
. Give him another chance to prove himself before making any drastic decisions 
I gotta say, the situation with Thomas Frank at Tottenham Hotspur is getting pretty dire 
.
. They need a serious overhaul of their team and strategy if they wanna make a push for the top four.
