Potter said last week that he received emails
"that want me to die and want my kids to die" with Chelsea
having won only twice in their last 15 matches under the
Englishman.
"Unfortunately, in some cases it (the abuse) is part of the
industry, and I think in many ways that's a disgrace," Frank
told the BBC on Monday.
"One abuse is one too many. It's the few that are the noisiest
and we hear the most. I think it's very important that we need
to be aware that there are still a lot of fans out there that
back them."
Frank said that a manager's role is a "lonely job".
"Hopefully we have some good friends that can look after us if
and when we lose our job," Frank added.
"We are maybe the only ones that really know the pain you are
feeling. It's a lonely job. (The pressure) on assistant coaches,
players, directors - it's just different. I think it's important
that support's there."
