The Dane told reporters at his pre-match press conference on Thursday that despite the noise, support from club bosses had been \u201cexceptional throughout the season\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know there\u2019s a few questions about me but it\u2019s not about me,\u201d said the 52-year-old.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s about me, the staff, the players, the club, and that needs to be aligned. And that direction and alignment is very clear from ownership to the board.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone is on the same page and there\u2019s a lot of things going in the right direction.\u201d <\/p>\n
He added: \u201cI have lunch with Vinai (Venkatesham, chief executive) three times a week because it\u2019s a good way to talk and get around all the small bits we need to do because we\u2019re also busy with meetings and a busy schedule.\u201d <\/p>\n
Spurs fans chanted \u201cYou\u2019re getting sacked in the morning\u201d after last week\u2019s 2-1 home defeat by relegation-threatened West Ham, which left them 14th in the table.<\/p>\n
Tottenham are already out of both domestic cups, though the win against Dortmund secured a place in the Champions League play-off round.<\/p>\n
The Spurs boss was asked about the future of defender Micky van de Ven, who has been linked with a move to Liverpool.<\/p>\n
He said the Dutchman \u201cseems happy\u201d in London.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a fantastic player and a fantastic ambassador for this club,\u201d said Frank. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s maybe had his best season for the club. He\u2019s growing as leader and a big player for the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would say he is very important player for us. Micky is a Tottenham player for us now and the future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thomas Frank said Thursday that Tottenham are united with a \u201clot of things going in the right direction\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":430870,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,689,24424,6257,225625,225626,2057,596,198887,1613,2022,673,3583,677,117547,1614,668,225627,46732,85,168034,218623,2639,3586],"class_list":["post-430869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-borussia-dortmund","tag-champions-league","tag-defiant-call","tag-domestic-cups","tag-europe","tag-football","tag-home-defeat","tag-liverpool","tag-london","tag-new-south-wales","tag-northern-europe","tag-oceania","tag-pre-match-press-conference","tag-premier-league","tag-press-conference","tag-quells-star","tag-right-direction","tag-sports","tag-spurs-coach","tag-spurs-fans","tag-thomas-h-frank","tag-united-kingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430869","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=430869"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430869\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/430870"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=430869"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=430869"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=430869"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
