“Only time will tell”- Thomas Frank backed to break vicious two-year Tottenham Hotspur cycle

All eyes will be on Thomas Frank as he looks to turn the fortunes around at Tottenham next season

Tottenham have been on a steady decline in the last two decades under the leadership of Daniel Levy. The club chairman has failed to prioritise the footballing decisions, and instead focused on making the Lilywhites a commercial club that relies on sponsorships and sales. That has not only affected the performances on the pitch, but it has also set up many managers to fail at N17.

The Spurs chairman has made himself the villain in the eyes of many fans after making questionable decisions in the past. His latest antic involved relieving Ange Postecoglou from his duties at N17 just two weeks after the Australian tactician ended the club’s 17-year wait for a major trophy.

The ex-Celtic boss has now been replaced with Thomas Frank, and one can only hope that the Danish tactician is given time to adapt to a new club next season. The ex-Brentford boss has big boots to fill as he replaces the man who led the club to European silverware last season, breaking the trophy drought at N17 along the way.

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank faces a lot of pressure at N17

Tottenham boss Thomas Frank was hired by Daniel Levy after doing a tremendous job at Brentford during his seven-year stint with the club. The 51-year-old managed to make the Bees a solid mid-table Premier League team, and he was also involved in all the decision-making process at the Gtech Stadium. Now, the Danish tactician has joined the Lilywhites and aims to make the North London club ‘serial winners’ again.

Reliable journalist Alasdair Gold also backs Thomas Frank to succeed at Spurs and break the 2-year sack cycle at the club. Writing for Football.london, Gold said,

“Spurs’ hierarchy stuck to their original plan and time will show us whether it was the right move or whether we’ll always be stuck with the ‘what if’. I really like Frank as a coach and as a person so I hope he can break the two-year sacking cycle at Tottenham. Someone has to.”

Alasdair Gold pointed out that Tottenham’s hierarchy went through with their decision to sack Ange Postecoglou despite the Europa League success, and only time will tell if the decision was right or not. However, the reliable journalist also adds that he likes Thomas Frank as a coach and believes that the Dane will succeed at N17 following his switch from Brentford. Gold backs the Dane to break the two-year sack cycle at the club as well.

In recent years, the average tenure of a Tottenham manager has not lasted for more than two years. This just shows the lack of planning from the club’s hierarchy, and the poor decision-making skills of Daniel Levy. Spurs have not managed to close the gap on their rivals in recent years, and the lack of effort to prioritise footballing decisions is clear to see.

Now, fans will hope that Thomas Frank manages to turn the fortunes of the club around and build on the Europa League success next season. The Danish tactician has already pointed out that he aims to match the vision of the club’s hierarchy, and Frank believes that the Lilywhites will only succeed if everyone at N17 is striving for the same goal.
