Tottenham<\/a> have won just one of their last seven matches in all competitions with Frank coming under scrutiny once again this season.<\/p>\n Spurs have dropped down to 14th in the Premier League table<\/a> and were knocked out of the FA Cup over the weekend at home to Aston Villa.<\/p>\n Frank\u2019s side will face London rivals West Ham, who have failed to win a Premier League game since November 8, in their next match on Saturday, with a defeat against Nuno Espirito Santo\u2019s men likely to cause a big outburst.<\/p>\n After a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa in the FA Cup on Saturday, journalist\u00a0Graeme Bailey insists that the board are \u201csplit\u201d and that Tottenham CEO Vinai Venkatesham is coming under pressure for the Frank appointment over the summer.<\/p>\n Bailey told our friends at\u00a0TEAMtalk<\/a>: \u201cTottenham Hotspur\u2019s hierarchy are split on the future of Thomas Frank, but the club remain determined not to make a change this season.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Frank avoids half-time Spurs sack based on five good minutes in \u2018storm\u2019 of awfulness against Villa<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cSpurs CEO\u00a0Vinai Venkatesham believed he landed the right man in the summer when luring Frank across London from Brentford.<\/p>\n \u201cHowever, we are now told by sources that\u00a0Venkatesham was warned by some members of Spurs\u2019 hierarchy that the former Arsenal man was not a good fit in terms of his system and the Tottenham players already in situ.<\/p>\n \u201cThe source, who spoke to us on the guarantee he would not be named, told us: \u2018Vinai feels Thomas is such a great fit for Spurs in so many ways. A great person, character \u2013 who is well liked, but he was warned that the system would not be a fit.<\/p>\n \u2018\u201dThere is a real concern in the club, up high, that this is how things are playing out. The players like Thomas, but do they believe in what he is asking? That is the worry.’\u201d<\/p>\n MORE SPURS COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 Bailey added: \u201cNow with Spurs sitting in 14th and with just one win in their last seven games, including an FA Cup exit to Aston Villa on Saturday, pressure is mounting.<\/p>\n \u201cSpurs are ready to invest this month and want Frank to succeed, and insist they do not want to make a mid-season change. But forthcoming games against West Ham and Borussia Dortmund are huge.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are told that whilst Tottenham would not describe the current situation as Frank being given the dreaded \u2018vote of confidence\u2019 it does seem it is close to that situation.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear how active Tottenham will be before the end of the transfer window but Romania international Radu Dragusin looks set to leave imminently.<\/p>\n Roma have reportedly put a loan-to-buy offer on the table for Dragusin with\u00a0Florin Manea revealing that the Tottenham defender\u2019s future will be decided over the next day or two.<\/p>\n
