Ahead of the Sunderland clash, the manager was asked if he was enjoying the job so far, to which he responded that he was not. While he acknowledged the privilege to manage such a big club in transition, he also pointed out how it was hard to take a step back to enjoy things when things are this tough for the Spurs.

Thomas Frank shared, "So the short answer is no. When I take a step back, I realise what a privilege it is to manage this fantastic club during such a big transition. Someone told me we have changed eight leadership figures at the top of the club. There has never been this much transition in 140 years. There are a lot of changes, but the potential is huge. I know that when I look back on this period, it will be a big learning experience. Right now, it is difficult."

He further added, "When things are tough and not running smoothly, it's hard to enjoy it. You have to put your head down and keep working through it."

While aware of the growing frustration among the fans, Frank remains committed to steering the Tottenham ship in the right direction through these difficult times.
