Daniel Levy ‘has no-brainer £10m call’ as Thomas Frank to Tottenham set
Daniel Levy risks embarrassment as Tottenham close in on appointing Thomas Frank to replace Ange Postecoglou.
Spurs endured an abysmal Premier League season as they finished 17th, leading to the Australian manager’s inevitable sacking.
Levy has identified Frank to take charge of the North London outfit ahead of the upcoming campaign, and the Lilywhites should push forward with it.
Tottenham should pay £10m Frank compensation to Brentford
Tottenham are close to appointing Frank as their next permanent manager, according to GiveMeSport.
The news outlet reports (9 June) that the Danish boss has agreed terms with Spurs and has told his current employers to let him go.
It’s been claimed that the Bees want £10million to part ways with the 51-year-old head coach, which has emerged as a stumbling block, but Levy has a no-brainer decision to pay that compensation.

Tottenham appear to have quickly identified Frank as their preferred candidate to succeed the Australian manager and shouldn’t hesitate to invest in him.
The North London outfit’s fans haven’t been too pleased with Levy over the years, as they feel he’s failed to spend money wisely, but the Spurs chairman has a chance to change that narrative.
Levy must spend money at Tottenham this summer
Postecoglou won the Europa League before being sacked, helping Spurs qualify for next season’s Champions League.
The North London outfit will now undoubtedly have more resources at their disposal in the ongoing transfer window to strengthen the squad.
With the Lilywhites’ squad suffering several fitness issues in the current campaign, the Australian manager was arguably forced to focus on just one competition, and he delivered in it.
Tottenham look likely to appoint Frank, but the Danish manager should ask for guarantees before agreeing to Levy’s proposal.
Spurs’ chairman must spend money first to get the 51-year-old head coach from Brentford and then sanction quality transfers at the North London outfit.
It wouldn’t make sense to hire a promising manager like Frank and then not provide him with a competitive squad capable of competing on all fronts.
Now that Tottenham have won a trophy, fans will judge the Danish head coach’s success by how far he can take them to achieve silverware next season, and that will arguably require prudent signings from the recruitment department.
