47 h. ago Thomas Frank is just what Tottenham need but will he be given time to prove it? | Jonathan Wilson

Manager is flexible but a slow starter with limited experience in Europe, and arrives as the love still lingers for former managerBrøndby appointed Thomas Frank as manager in June 2013 and did not win any of their first eight games of the 2013-14 season. Brentford appointed Frank as manager in October 2018 and lost eight of their following 10 games. So nobody should panic if Frank begins slowly at Tottenham.In reality, though, the first couple of months will be a major challenge for the Dane. These are not easy circumstances for anybody to take the Spurs job. Usually a manager takes over after a run of poor form, with fans and players ready for a change and a regression to the mean in the offing. Spurs have been on a run of poor form: one win in 12 league games over the final three months of the season, but in that time they also won the Europa League, which means everything is seen in a different light.

Only once in club history have they had a worse league record: in 1914-15. Continue reading...
