Frankly, this is a leap of faith for all parties

THOMAS IS TAKING BIG RISK BY LEAVING BEES FOR TOTTENHAM CHAOS

- By Jeremy Cross

TO be Frank, Tottenham's new head coach might not know what he is letting himself in for.

But there is no doubting Thomas Frank has taken on the most challenging assignment of his managerial career.

To put his new employers into perspective, Tottenham spent almost two decades chopping and changing managers in the hope that one of them could win something. And when someone did, his reward was the sack.

Has Frank spoken to Ange Postecoglou for advice before deciding to replace him at the north London club?

Who knows. But if not, then why not?

Because the Dane has decided to swap a well-oiled machine at Brentford for one of the most dysfunctional clubs in the Premier League.

Just three weeks ago Postecoglou was parading the Europa League trophy around the capital on an open top bus.
