Spurs Web

It has been a whirlwind few days at Tottenham Hotspur following the club’s decision to sack Ange Postecoglou, and now, long-serving defender Ben Davies has shared his thoughts on what it is like inside the dressing room.

It took only two seasons before Tottenham Hotspur decided to cut ties with manager Ange Postecoglou, with the club sacking him following a poor Premier League campaign.

While Ange Postecoglou secured a respectable fifth-place finish in his debut season and won a European Cup in his second year after beating Manchester United in the Europa League, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy still wielded the axe on the Australian, sacking Postecoglou for performance-related reasons.

The decision to part ways with the 59-year-old was reported not to have gone down well with a few Tottenham players, with some Spurs players said to be considering their future at the club following Ange’s departure.

Ben Davies gives honest view on Tottenham sacking Ange Postecoglou

We have seen several Tottenham Hotspur first-team players come out to thank Ange Postecoglou for trusting in them and appreciating him for the memories he gave them.

Now, the longest-serving player at Tottenham, Ben Davies, has come out to speak about what it has been like in the Spurs camp.

Speaking on international duty with Wales about the club’s decision to sack Postecoglou, Davies revealed that the players do not have a say on the club’s decision and that, like everyone else, they read about Postecoglou’s sacking from the media.

He said: “From a player’s standpoint, you do not tend to have too much input into those decisions and for us, we kind of read about the news [of Postecoglou’s sacking]. As players, we have to move on and do the job that is in front of us and it is no different this time.”

Ben Davies set for ninth Spurs boss as Thomas Frank linked

Davies, being one of the longest-serving players at Tottenham, after spending over a decade at Spurs, is no stranger to seeing new managers take charge of the north London club.

In fact, since he joined the Lilywhites, he has been coached by eight different managers and is now set to come under a ninth, as Tottenham look to appoint their 16th head coach in the last 24 years, following the sacking of 15 others.

As the Brentford boss edges closer to the Tottenham job, fans will love what Thomas Frank had to say about the Spurs players when the pair faced each other last season.

Tottenham Hotspur slumped to their worst-ever Premier League finish last season, ending the campaign in 17th place, as the Lilywhites lost 22 matches and conceded 65 goals across 38 games in a dismal showing.

Remaining competitive in the Premier League is often the bare minimum expected of any Spurs manager, a sentiment echoed by Tim Sherwood, who sent a clear message to the next Tottenham boss tipped to replace Ange Postecoglou following the Australian’s dismissal.

It is widely believed that Brentford manager Thomas Frank, who guided his side to a finish seven places above Postecoglou’s Tottenham, is set to take the reins in north London.

A former Sky Sports reporter has even gone as far as to confirm that the Thomas Frank to Spurs deal is all but done.

Thomas Frank praised Tottenham squad despite Brentford defeat

Some Tottenham fans were left stunned by the club’s decision to part ways with Ange Postecoglou, especially given that he remains the only manager to deliver silverware for Spurs in the past 17 years.

However, with Thomas Frank now heavily linked with the Spurs job, a video clip has emerged showing the Brentford manager offering glowing praise to Tottenham’s squad, following a defeat to them earlier this year.

Speaking after Brentford’s 2-0 loss to Spurs in February, Frank delivered a detailed and honest assessment of the quality in the Tottenham side, despite their troubles throughout the season.

Thomas Frank said about the Tottenham squad: “I think that is a big expectation. I know they have not had the best season, but if you look at their line-up, just take their front three, I think a lot of clubs would have taken them in a day.

“Their midfield – Dejan Kulusevski, Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma – that is a very, very, very good Premier League midfield.

“And then I know they have not had a centre-back, maybe Archie Gray and Ben Davies played the best defensive game of the season. So, Pedro Porro is fantastic at right back, he has got Trentish offensive qualities and Djed Spence has done well.

“Kinksy, so we cannot expect… if we expect that, then there is something wrong with our fans. In the Premier League, it is difficult every game.”

Frank’s Spurs admiration could soon become a reality

Thomas Frank’s admiration for Tottenham Hotspur appears to stretch back further than many fans may have realised, as it was revealed by a member of his coaching staff on 8 June that the 51-year-old has long been fond of the north London club.

He said: “Tottenham has always been my favourite club. At Brentford, we always joked that if we were going to move on from Brentford, it would be for Tottenham.

“It is a club that has had some challenges over the past season and there is quite a bit of work ahead of them. But Thomas deserves that chance. He has done a fantastic job.”

After two weeks of almost nonstop rumours, the news we were all expecting dropped: Daniel Levy sacked Ange Postecoglou on his second anniversary at Tottenham – and it looks like Thomas Frank could be the man to replace him.

While the fan base seems split on whether or not it was the correct decision, we need to look ahead to see who will be sitting in the dugout for our UEFA Super Cup clash with Paris Saint-Germain in Udine in August.

The leading candidate to take over at Tottenham is Brentford’s Thomas Frank, the longest-serving Premier League manager at the time of this writing.

I have been blessed to watch Frank’s side for the last six seasons, and I must say there is a lot to be positive about. However, there are a couple of areas of concern about him, as well as an almost inevitable unknown. So this article will break down the good, the bad, and the unknown.

Thomas Frank: Tottenham should appreciate the good

Unearthing Gems

One of the biggest pluses in Frank’s column is his moulding of young players and working with a shoestring budget.

While Brentford’s overarching Moneyball transfer philosophy isn’t Frank’s, he has a say in this process, and it is also on him and his coaching staff to get the best out of these players.

Since taking charge of the Bees in October 2018, he has astounded the football world with his ability to seemingly lose his star man or two at the start of each season and still take his team another step or two.

MORE SPURS STORIES

One of the best examples of this was when he lost Ollie Watkins and Said Benrahma at the start of the 2020/21 season. He only replaced them with the seemingly bargain buy Ivan Toney. Toney set a record for most Championship goals in a single season with 31, and Brentford sealed promotion to the Premier League with a 2-0 win at Wembley over Swansea.

Even when entering the Premier League, Brentford have never spent more than £30 million on a single player and went on to have two top-10 finishes in their four years in the Premier League.

In these four Premier League seasons, Brentford have somehow secured gems like Yoanne Wissa (signed for less than £10 million), Ben Mee (for free), Kristoffer Ajer (£12.6 million), as well as developing the likes of Bryan Mbeumo, Vitaly Janelt and Mikkel Damsgaard.

While working with a tight budget might make Tottenham fans wince, if recent reports are to be believed, then Thomas Frank would be working with a small budget again, as Levy has said that the only money Spurs will be able to spend what they get in, then Frank’s thrifty nature could come into force.

Rock and Roll Football

It is the Tottenham way to dare, to play with flair, and to entertain. In the years since Pochettino and up to Ange, we traded flair for pragmatism, which yielded very few results.

What we had with Ange Postecoglou was almost a Kamikaze approach to defending and an approach to attacking that, when done right, was beautiful to watch. However, this didn’t work when he didn’t have his first XI.

Frank brings his brand of football, what he calls “Rock and Roll Football.” This is evidenced by the fact that the Gtech saw the most goals this season, and as we know first-hand, the Bees scored within the first minute of a match in three consecutive matches.

If you want pure stats (I know you do), the Bees ranked fifth for most goals scored and goals per match, which is surprising given that Brentford ranked fifteenth in terms of possession and eighth for expected goals. So, what this shows is that Brentford utilised possession effectively.

Dealing with adversity

An area where Ange may not have been best is how he copes when the chips are down. In both of his seasons at the club, there have been swathes of injuries affecting key areas of the pitch.

While I’m not saying Frank has had to deal with as high a level of injury count during his Brentford tenure, he has had to contend with his best players being out for large portions of the season for one reason or another.

The biggest is the well-documented situation with Ivan Toney. The England forward was banned for eight months during the back end of the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons. This left a 20-goal striker-shaped void in Brentford’s team, and this lack of goals was expected to send the Bees down.

However, the emergence of Wissa helped the Bees stay up, and this kind of hole-plugging has served Frank well. This season is also a great example of how he has shifted his team to accommodate various injuries and suspensions.

Starting left-back Rico Henry missed a large portion of the season. At the same time, there were also key injuries throughout the year, including to Toney’s replacement and the club record signing, Igor Thiago. Brentford were also without key defenders Ethan Pinnock for nine games, Ajer for 22 matches, and many others missed key periods for the Bees.

However, Thomas Frank managed these issues well, and if the Tottenham squad’s thinness continues, then this area of strength will do wonders.

Man motivator

One of Ange’s biggest pluses was how he seemed to motivate his team. A few of the team talks that have been posted online show that, and you can see why teams run through brick walls at times for the man.

This is not something that would be lost if the Spurs appoint Frank. As seen through the Inside Brentford series (well worth a watch, by the way), every player in that dressing room hangs on to every word Frank has to say. He can get his team beyond the levels some believe they are at. No one gave the Bees much hope in that first season in the Premier League, but not only did they survive, but they were comfortable in mid-table.

The main reason for this was just how relentless his team were to win every single point they did, and that can easily be put down to the harmony Frank creates in the dressing room and how much those players want to work for him. This would continue at Spurs, and if there is a man to help the players move on from Ange, it is Frank.

Big Six Battler

As evidenced from Brentford’s first game in the Premier League, the Bees could go toe-to-toe with the Premier League’s biggest and best. From that opening salvo against Arsenal, to silencing the Etihad or that demolition of Manchester United at the Gtech in the summer sun, Brentford easily took on the best the Premier League has to offer.

This has been a big stumbling block for Tottenham in recent seasons (except for the Manchester clubs). There has been no North London derby win since 2022, one win in five years against Chelsea and barring that VAR-laden game last year against Liverpool, wins against the Reds are at a premium.

Frank’s side won a fifth of their fixtures against the big six since their promotion, while Tottenham won a quarter of their games in the same period. For a club the size of Spurs to barely have a better record than Brentford is mildly shocking, and maybe Frank’s influence can help them over the line, especially against Chelsea (as Brentford proved to be a bogey team for the Blues).

Thomas Frank: Tottenham must be wary of the bad

The Step-up

This one is more hypothetical, is Tottenham too big a jump for Frank (this is no disrespect to Brentford). Frank carved his teeth at the youth level of the Danish national team, and the less said about his time at Brøndby, the better.

When he took over from Dean Smith at Brentford, there was no real expectation on Frank, and anything he went on to achieve was a bonus. When Brentford went up, the expectation was just to stay up and nothing more. But Frank has defied the expectations by keeping them up and running them close for European qualification on two occasions.

While this is considered incredible at Brentford (again, no disrespect to Brentford), Frank will need to hit the ground running at Spurs pretty quickly.

Since Pochettino left, Spurs have only finished inside the top four once (mainly thanks to another Arsenal bottle job) and outside the top six twice. This season can be put down to an anomaly, but a return to the top six will be a minimum next year, and that could prove a step too far for Frank.

Domestic Distress

Another big area of concern is Brentford’s performance in the domestic cups under Frank.

Brentford have lost in the FA Cup’s Third Round for the past three consecutive seasons, to Plymouth Argyle, West Ham United, and Wolves (not exactly world beaters). The Bees have never gone beyond the Fourth Round under Frank.

This is very concerning, as the FA Cup has eluded Spurs for more than thirty years now, so Frank’s lack of success in this area is a massive concern.

When it comes to the League Cup, there have been better performances as Frank took the Bees to the semis in 2021 (being unstuck by Mourinho’s Spurs), but again, that is as far as it goes in terms of success in this contest for Brentford. Tottenham have that bye into the Third Round this year, and an early trophy under his belt would dispel these concerns.

Spurs must embrace the Frank unknown

European Pedigree

Now, we move on to the area of uncertainty about the Dane: his lack of European pedigree.

Apart from a few qualifiers in Denmark, Frank has never managed a game in a major European club competition. Going from no European experience to being thrown into this extended Champions League competition is almost a baptism of fire for Frank.

We don’t know how well his style of play translates to the continent or whether he can manage a squad during these more packed calendars.

This is something we will have to wait and see about, as this is something no one can predict, and if we do go out in the League phase or in the play-offs after that point, then we will have a better picture of his European credentials. One to wait and see about.

Manchester United are set to face a potential transfer battle with Tottenham, as Thomas Frank eyes a reunion with one of his Brentford stars if he makes the move to N17.

Tottenham Hotspur are yet to complete any new signings since announcing the permanent purchase of centre-back Kevin Danso from RC Lens, following his loan move in the winter window.

Spurs also confirmed that they have triggered the extra-year clause in Ben Davies’ contract, as they look to retain some much-needed experience within their squad ahead of a potentially busy summer.

Heung-min Son could depart Tottenham this summer, with clubs in Saudi Arabia circling, but much of the club’s transfer business will hinge on the identity of the next man in the dugout.

Thomas Frank wants Tottenham to hijack Bryan Mbeumo transfer

Ange Postecoglou has since been sacked by Tottenham, with the club aiming to rebuild their squad ahead of a 2025/26 season that will see UEFA Champions League football return to Hotspur Way.

Thomas Frank is being widely tipped to succeed Postecoglou, and it appears the Danish manager has already started to put forward his transfer wishlist.

According to a report from The Mirror, Thomas Frank is said to have informed Tottenham that he wants the club to rival Manchester United in the race for Bryan Mbeumo, who is set to be the Red Devils’ second signing of the window.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Bryan Mbeumo is valued at £60 million, and with Frank expected to be confirmed as Postecoglou’s replacement in the coming week, it is claimed he is keen to bring the Brentford forward with him to north London.

Manchester United and Spurs locked in Bryan Mbeumo wage battle

Manchester United’s interest in the Cameroon international is concrete, with reports indicating that Ruben Amorim’s side has already submitted two bids for Mbeumo, and the player is said to be open to a move to Old Trafford.

Although United are currently favourites to land the Brentford attacker, it is understood that Tottenham Hotspur are banking on their Champions League qualification to help sway the player, who has one year remaining on his contract with an option for a further year.

Despite Spurs’ UCL leverage, Manchester United are reported to have tabled a more lucrative offer, with wages of £150,000 per week and add-ons pushing the deal up to £200,000 per week following detailed discussions with the player’s representatives.

Spurs, meanwhile, have offered a package worth around £130,000 per week, and while bonuses have been included, the total remains shy of United’s bid, meaning they may be relying on Frank’s relationship with Mbeumo to help swing the deal in their favour.

Thomas Frank has agreed to become the next Tottenham manager following talks over the weekend, with the Dane now set to replace Ange Postecoglou if talks between Brentford and Daniel Levy go well.

It has been an eventful past few days for Tottenham Hotspur, who have been taking care of matters off the pitch, with several in-house departures, including the sacking of Ange Postecoglou.

The Australian became the 15th Spurs boss to be dismissed by chairman Daniel Levy after just two years in the Tottenham dugout, where a fifth-place finish in his debut season and a trophy in his second were among his key accomplishments.

However, failure to stay competitive in the Premier League ultimately cost Postecoglou his job, despite ending Tottenham’s 17-year trophy drought, with Daniel Levy now opting for a fresh start under a new manager for the 16th time in his 24 years as the club’s chairman.

Thomas Frank agrees to become new Tottenham manager

It has been reported that Tottenham are working on getting a deal over the line for their next manager, with an official announcement expected in the coming week.

A few names have emerged as possible replacements for Ange Postecoglou, with Brentford manager Thomas Frank reported to be the leading candidate, while Marco Silva and Oliver Glasner are viewed as alternative options.

Thomas Frank is understood to be open to taking the Tottenham job, and Brentford are said to be willing to let him go should a bigger club come calling.

The Sun have now reported that Thomas Frank has agreed to become manager of Tottenham following talks over the weekend.

It is also understood that while personal terms have already been agreed with the Dane, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy must still finalise a compensation package with Brentford’s chiefs before the deal can be completed.

Spurs set to hand Frank a Champions League chance

It was revealed only yesterday that Thomas Frank had been keen on a move to Tottenham for some time, regularly joking with members of his backroom staff about one day securing a move to N17.

The Dane, who has impressed during his time in West London with two top-half finishes in his last three seasons, would now be tasked with restoring competitiveness at Spurs after Ange Postecoglou oversaw their worst-ever Premier League finish last term, ending the 2024/25 campaign in 17th.

Tottenham are also set to play in the UEFA Champions League next season, having secured a place by winning the Europa League.

Brentford have opened the door to talks that could see Thomas Frank leave the Bees for Tottenham this summer, and a bid below his release clause could be considered.

Tottenham Hotspur are desperate to secure the signing of a new head coach following the sacking of Ange Postecoglou, who spent just two years in north London.

Spurs are reported to have identified Brentford’s Thomas Frank as a possible replacement for Postecoglou, with reports stating that several talks have been held between Frank and chairman Daniel Levy.

Should talks with Thomas Frank break down, it has been reported that Spurs have identified two Premier League managers as backup options, with Oliver Glasner and Marco Silva also on their list.

Brentford are willing to listen to offers for Frank

Brentford are not expected to stand in the way of Frank should he want a move to a bigger club, according to reports.

It is also understood that Thomas Frank has made it clear he wants to join Tottenham, with the Brentford boss reported to have told his current employers that he is keen on making the move.

Sky Sports is now reporting that Brentford are willing to listen to offers for Thomas Frank, despite his release clause being placed at £10 million.

However, it is claimed by the news outlet that an official approach for the Dane is yet to arrive, although one is anticipated in west London.

Tottenham value Thomas Frank’s development pedigree

Reports over the weeks continue to state that talks between Tottenham and Thomas Frank are progressing well.

The Lilywhites are said to be big admirers of Frank’s ability to nurture youngsters, which would come as no surprise, given that Spurs have one of the youngest sides in the Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur’s search for a new head coach is fully underway ahead of the new season.

Last week, Tottenham decided to sack Ange Postecoglou after two years in charge of the North Londoners.

Not even winning the Europa League trophy following a win against Manchester United in Bilbao could salvage Postecoglou’s job, with chairman Daniel Levy wielding the axe on the 59-year-old.

The decision saw many Tottenham fans divided over Postecoglou’s dismissal with some believing the Australian had done enough to warrant at least being in charge for the start of the 2025/26 season.

News of Postecoglou’s exit is said to have left some Tottenham players asking to leave the club with the dressing room angry with the decision.

Thomas Frank looks set to take Tottenham job

Thomas Frank has been heavily linked with becoming the man to take over from Postecoglou in N17.

Brentford fan and talkSPORT presenter Natalie Sawyer revealed that she decided to check with her club sources over Frank’s current situation amid the Tottenham job rumours.

The former Sky Sports News presenter shed light on the latest, saying on talkSPORT via X: “Funnily enough, I have been doing a little bit of digging myself and after yesterday, I have accepted I am going to have to say goodbye.

“My sources have said yes, it’s pretty much a done deal. The issue now with Brentford is negotiating who else [backroom staff] can go with Thomas Frank.

“From my sources, who are close to those connected at the club it all comes down to who else from the backroom staff he can take.”

When is Thomas Frank likely to become Tottenham manager

Tottenham will certainly want to have their new head coach confirmed and in place by the end of this week, with the first part of the summer transfer window set to close tomorrow until June 16th.

While other clubs have been busy signing new players to improve their squad ahead of next season, Spurs have instead been focused on sacking their head coach and also making board level changes.

As speculation continues to intensify over the future of Heung-min Son, a new report has revealed what his Tottenham teammates expect to happen with the forward this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur have sacked their Europa League-winning manager and they might also start the new season without their current captain, who proudly hoisted the trophy in Bilbao.

It has been reported over the last two weeks that Tottenham may consider selling Son if they receive a big enough offer, with the forward thought to be of interest to Saudi Pro League clubs.

According to some outlets, Spurs could use the funds from Son’s sale to facilitate a summer spending spree as they look to rejig their squad.

The impression Heung-min Son gave his Tottenham teammates

The Telegraph have now backed up reports of interest from Saudi Arabia for the Tottenham captain.

Interestingly, the outlet says that Son left some of his Tottenham teammates and the staff at the club with the impression that he could leave this summer.

The South Korean has now completed a decade at N17 and there is no doubt that he will be leaving the club as a legend if he does decide to call time on his Spurs career.

Some Tottenham fans believe Son deserves a mural right next to Harry Kane on the High Road next to the stadium after his historic Europa League win.

Could Ange Postecoglou’s sacking affect Son’s decision?

According to reports, some Tottenham players are angered by the decision to sack Postecoglou, with some even contemplating leaving the club as a result.

Son sent a heartfelt message to Postecoglou after his sacking, praising the Australian for changing the club’s trajectory forever.

It would thus appear that Tottenham’s decision to part ways with the 59-year-old could increase their captain’s chances of leaving.

Harry Redknapp has drawn a bold comparison between Tottenham and Manchester United’s recent managerial decisions, suggesting Erik ten Hag’s downfall may have played a part in Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham exit.

After weeks of speculation over the future of the Spurs manager, Tottenham Hotspur have since announced the sacking of Ange Postecoglou on 6 June.

It was a mixed two years at the helm for the Australian manager, who started his debut season in the best way possible, after he won eight of his opening ten games, a run that saw him top of the Premier League table.

However, results in the Premier League have been far from consistent, with Postecoglou picking up just 78 points from his last 66 Premier League matches, a poor run of form that saw Spurs sack Postecoglou after a performance review.

Harry Redknapp, one of the 15 managers to have been sacked by Daniel Levy, has now opened up on what he thinks was the reasoning behind Tottenham’s sacking of a manager who only just ended their 17-year wait for silverware and a four-decade wait for a European trophy.

According to the former Tottenham manager, he admitted that he saw the sack coming after Daniel Levy did not come out in support of Postecoglou following Tottenham’s Europa League triumph.

Redknapp also explained how Levy’s decision could have been influenced by Manchester United’s continued struggles under Erik ten Hag despite their FA Cup win two seasons ago.

The Red Devils eventually ended up sacking Ten Hag midway through last season, with new coach Ruben Amorim still unable to save the club from their worst campaign in decades.

He told TalkSport: “Overall, I suppose Daniel has looked at it and is thinking, ‘Hang on’,” said Redknapp.

“Manchester United kept Ten Hag last year after winning a cup and they went out and bought some players under his leadership and then suddenly they sack him.

“Were they going to take that chance with Ange? Bringing four or five new players and suddenly things have not improved in the league by Christmas, then they have to sack him and are stuck with the players he brought in.

“He looks like a good guy and I would have liked to have seen him given more of a chance but it was never going to happen once Daniel did not come out and support him.”

Spurs fans split over Postecoglou sacking despite trophy win

The decision of Levy to sack Ange Postecoglou has been met by mixed reactions amongst the Tottenham fanbase.

Many believe the Australian should have been given an extra season following his triumph in Europe, while others cannot look past the club’s dismal Premier League campaign, which saw them finish 17th in the Premier League, after losing 22 games.

Thomas Tuchel has now sent a message to Ange Postecoglou following Tottenham’s dismal Premier League campaign, which led to the Australian’s sacking at Spurs.

Daniel Levy has never shied away from making tough calls at Tottenham Hotspur, having sacked 15 managers during his 24 years as chairman.

Ange Postecoglou became the 15th manager to receive the sack on June 6, when Spurs confirmed the Australian’s departure after just two seasons in charge.

A dreadful Premier League campaign ultimately cost Postecoglou his job, with Tottenham finishing 17th after losing 22 matches.

Thomas Tuchel sends respect to Ange Postecoglou after Tottenham exit

With Postecoglou now out of the picture, England manager Thomas Tuchel has sent a message of respect and sympathy to the former Tottenham boss.

Having himself endured sackings during his managerial career, Tuchel understands the pressure and uncertainty that comes with the job.

Speaking to BBC Sport, the German said: “I feel for every manager and I have huge sympathy for every manager. I was in the same spot, and it feels horrible. I have the biggest respect for him, he has huge character. He said he will deliver the trophy in the second year and he did.

“But this is part of the job. We are responsible for the results and the development of the team. Whether we like it or not, sometimes it is we who take the full responsibility for the development that is maybe not at the highest potential.”

Postecoglou’s legacy at Tottenham and future prospects

Being sacked does not necessarily label a manager as a failure, especially at a club like Tottenham, where many predecessors have bounced back stronger.

Managers such as Antonio Conte, who recently secured the Serie A title, and Nuno Espirito Santo, who guided Nottingham Forest to a sixth-place finish, exemplify this.

For Postecoglou, despite the disappointing end, he leaves Spurs having delivered silverware and upheld his promise of a trophy in his second season, preserving his reputation.

Any club that hires him next will expect similar success, given his proven track record. Tottenham supporters will remember the moments of joy he brought after a long wait for a trophy, and they will wish him well in his next challenge, grateful for the memories and the progress he helped achieve.
