Thomas Frank told he must win over Tottenham players

[mawspurs]

Former Spurs scout Mick Brown told Football Insider on 9 June that Frank is likely to take over at Tottenham as sporting director Johan Lange is pushing for his appointment.

The former scout, who has a wealth of experience working closely with elite-level managers including the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson for over a decade at Man United, backed Frank to deal with the issues presented to him at Spurs.

“Every manager faces issues when going in to a new team,” he told Football Insider.

“The players there obviously have negative feelings about Postecoglou being sacked, and so they should because I hear he had very strong relationships with them.

“They’re responsible for where they were, so in part they are to blame, but by all accounts they’ve been left frustrated by the decision.

“Now, they’ll be looking at Frank and asking what has he got that Postecoglou didn’t.

“Frank is going in there, and he’s going to have to deal with that issue immediately.

“He’s got to get the players on his side, build those relationships especially with some of the more influential players, and prove he’s the right man.

“It’s difficult coming in as the new boss when the old one was so loved by the players.

“But, having said that, they’re professionals and they’ll have to get on with it.“

In a reverse Ted Lasso moment, Frank spent his first meeting with Spurs players berating them, humiliating them and belittling them. ‘The only way now is up’, he said, as he slashed Romero’s face with a rusty razor.

Give him two weeks to win the players over and if he doesn’t, sack him,

Likewise, some of them need to up their games considerably, especially in terms of consistency.
