The loss left Spurs in 11th place in the Premier League, six points off the top four, and sparked frustration among supporters, but talkSPORT has claimed the London club’s hierarchy have no plans to make a change in the dugout.
According to the outlet, Frank’s job is not under threat, with chief executive Vinai Venkatesham determined to give the 52-year-old head coach time to put his own stamp on the squad.
The coach has also reportedly been promised backing in the transfer market as Tottenham look to stabilise their season and push back towards the European places.
Sunday’s (12.14.25) defeat at the City Ground was Spurs’ sixth league loss of the campaign and prompted criticism from sections of the fanbase, who voiced their anger at the final whistle.
Former Tottenham defender Ramon Vega was among those to call publicly for change, urging the club to consider replacing Frank with ex-Spurs striker Robbie Keane, now head coach of Hungarian champions Ferencváros.
Despite the external noise, Tottenham’s leadership are said to be aligned behind Frank, believing continuity is essential after a run of inconsistent performances.
The club’s supposed view is that dismissing another manager would only deepen instability rather than solve underlying issues.
Frank himself struck a defiant but realistic tone after the Forest defeat, insisting there is “no quick fix” to Tottenham’s problems and stressing the need for patience.
Speaking to reporters after the game, he said: “I think it’s pretty evident that if no one gets the time, no one can turn this around. This is not a quick fix.”
The Spurs boss admitted the performance was unacceptable, while revealing how he manages his emotions on the touchline.
He said: “I do everything to control my emotions, which is a hurricane inside me, because, of course, it’s deeply frustrating that we are not doing better today after three good performances.”
Frank was clear in his assessment of the display, acknowledging the scale of the task ahead.
He said: “I was also very honest, today was a very bad performance, no two ways about that. But I also know that to change this will take some time. No one will want to hear about that. It’s just reality.”
He also defended goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario after errors contributed to the defeat, backing his decision-making and urging calm.
He said: “You see that every week in the Premier League and from every team all over the world. There’s no problem with that. You learn from that.”
Tottenham now face another major test when they host Liverpool on Saturday (12.20.25), a fixture that could further shape the mood around the club.
