Tottenham Hotspur is facing a full-blown crisis, with manager Thomas Frank on the brink of being sacked and players clashing with fans and the club’s hierarchy.
The latest disaster was a 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth, which dropped Tottenham to 14th in the Premier League table.
The evening started badly for Frank, who was pictured drinking from an Arsenal-branded coffee cup on the pitch, sparking outrage among fans. Frank claimed he didn’t notice the branding, calling it an “honest mistake.”
The match itself was a reversion to type for Tottenham, who conceded twice after taking an early lead through Mathys Tel. A Joao Palhinha bicycle kick leveled the game, but Antoine Semenyo’s 95th-minute winner sealed a defeat that left fans furious.
The supporters weren’t afraid to show their displeasure, with heated exchanges between players and fans, including Palhinha and Micky van de Ven. Pedro Porro had to be separated from the tensions, adding to the chaos.
Captain Cristian Romero also hit out at the club’s hierarchy, accusing them of telling “lies” in an Instagram post. The post was later edited, but the damage was done, with teammates and other players interacting with the original message.
Romero’s frustrations are nothing new, having previously clashed with the board over perceived lack of investment in the squad. The Argentina defender’s cryptic social media posts have hinted at deeper issues within the club.
Tottenham’s woes seem to be spiraling out of control, with Frank’s position increasingly untenable. The club’s fans are growing restless, and it’s unclear how much longer the manager can cling to his job.
