Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy must back Thomas Frank in the transfer window after his latest admission.
Spurs secured their first trophy for 17 years with the Europa League final victory over Manchester United but they must capitalise on that success.
Levy has often been criticised for his frugal nature in the market, refusing to spend big money sums on players despite the squad drastically lacking the required talent.
However, it seems like he may have changed his approach after a new development from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Levy makes Tottenham spending admission
Levy has acknowledged the need for significant business this summer as the Frank era begins in North London.

The Lilywhites’ chief admitted that there is no point having a state-of-the-art, huge stadium if the money that it generates is not reinvested.
In quotes reported by Sky Sports (17 June), he said: “We are very proud of the stadium, but we need to make sure we win on the pitch.
“There is no point having a wonderful stadium if you have not got a wonderful team, that is winning.
“The reason we do all of these other events is to provide additional financial resources for the club, which in turn, goes back into the team, everything is about the team.”
Tottenham need to kick on after Levy reveal
There is no excuses, Levy needs to hand his new manager significant funding this summer as the N17 outfit push on from their European success.
Spurs need to become constant challengers for the Premier League and Champions League titles and the only way to get there is to invest heavily in the squad.
As Levy mentioned, there is constant events on in the stadium when Tottenham are not playing, with some of the world’s biggest celebrities performing, which secure huge financial benefits but it seems like that has not been handed to the manager to spend previously.
It seems like Levy is willing to change that approach after tasting success for just the second time in his reign in charge.
He needs to follow through on that stance, the Lilywhites need to attract the biggest talents this summer and build a team that is capable of winning the biggest prizes in the game.
If they fail do so, after Levy’s admission, it will be a huge dereliction of duty from the ownership and protests will be back on the cards after a period of calm.
Investment must be prioritised this summer, the club cannot afford to be left behind and must capitalise after shaking the trophy hoodoo.
