This latest outburst is not an isolated incident, but rather the second time in a month that Romero has publicly criticised the club’s operations. In January, following a chaotic 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth, Romero posted a similarly veiled attack, hitting out at "other people" - understood to be the club's hierarchy - claiming that they "tell a few lies" when they speak. Although the specific reference to lying was later edited out, the damage was done.
Frank, though, believes fans simply read too much into social media, adding: "Social media, I can't get rid of it. It's what some people call the future, or whatever it is.
"One thing I do know: we all definitely put too much attention to social media. All of us. It seems like everything is written on social media is the truth.
"Everything we take: that's the truth. That's a challenge in general, overall. That's the way it is. We deal with it."
He also defended Spurs' signings, saying: "I think we signed Conor Gallagher, which is a quality player for the starting XI. Of course no one is promised any position, but we signed a quality player and a young player for the future [in Souza].
"If you compare it to other Premier League clubs, that's very good. Where we are, it's ok. We tried to do more, but it was not possible for whatever reason.
"It is very, very important that we take good decisions in the calm - both for the long and short term.
"Of course we looked at loan options, we looked at longer-term options. It was not the case we wanted to sign five players."
