Tottenham Hotspur are set to begin a new era with Thomas Frank taking over from Ange Postecoglou as manager.
Postecoglou’s time at Tottenham came to an end despite leading Spurs to their first trophy in 17 years in the Europa League in May.
Tottenham moved quickly to replace Postecoglou as they appointed Frank as their new manager and also brought in several coaches from Brentford.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has now spoken about the reasons for sacking Postecoglou as he shared his ambitions for the club.
However, a number of Tottenham fans were not especially impressed with his comments as they sent him a clear message.
Tottenham fans call on Daniel Levy to match words with actions by spending big on top players
Daniel Levy, speaking to the Tottenham media team, explained how he wants Tottenham to win the Premier League and Champions League.
“The outpouring of emotion with the parade, was just incredible. We’ve won a European trophy, but it isn’t enough,” he said.
“What we haven’t done is more important, we need to win the Premier League, we want to win the Champions League.”
A number of Tottenham fans took to social media to make it clear that, if Spurs are to challenge for those trophies, they need to spend big on the best players.
“You won’t win the league signing prospects every window,” one fan wrote on X. “Call for experience has been needed every window.”
Another fan said: “Backing a manager with his number 1 targets in a transfer window would be another and also not letting your best players leave every other summer.”
The messages kept coming, with one fan saying: “Fine with that being the expectation, need to now give Frank the finances to make that achievable.
“Leicester winning the league was an anomaly, if you want to win the league or the Champions League you need to pay big wages, like those teams that have done it last 30 odd years.”
Another supporter wrote: “Maybe buy some ready made players, break the wage structure and stop buying U21ers.”
Another fan said: “Nice that hes finally come out and said he wants to win but after 24 years words are meaningless now.
“It needs to be proven by actions and a complete change of culture from the top of the club.”
Why Daniel Levy is especially thrilled about Thomas Frank as the new Tottenham manager
Frank is expected to be a much different manager to Postecoglou at Tottenham.
While the Australian was often uncompromising with his style of play, Frank has a history of being much more versatile and pragmatic.
Levy has explained how Frank’s intelligence, communication and personality made him feel as though the Danish coach was definitely the right man for the job.
Levy told Spurs Official: “Whenever you have a new coach, it’s always a fresh start, you always have different ideas, but we want to build on the success of winning a trophy last season.
“What really stood out to me with Thomas (Frank) is that he was highly intelligent, a great communicator and a super human being, plus all the other technical aspects, but they really stood out to me those three points.”
