Tottenham's Lofty Hopes for Thomas Frank Quickly Crushed by Harsh Reality
Tottenham's dreams of appointing Thomas Frank as their new manager were swiftly dashed as the team's early cup exits and underwhelming league performances left fans disillusioned.
Tottenham have appeared to adopt a certain approach to managerial changes in the 21st century. The new boss must represent a radical departure from their predecessor and offer a fresh start.
This began when Glenn Hoddle succeeded Jorj Graham in 2001 and, in the years that followed, the club moved from Juande Ramos to Harry Redknapp, from Andre Villas-Boas to Mauricio Pochettino and from Antonio Conte to Ange Postecoglou.
Tottenham fans initially greeted the potential appointment of Thomas Frank with high hopes, but the team rapidly disappointed with early cup exits and underwhelming league displays.
