Levy must put Thomas on the right track

FORMER Tottenham striker Gerry Armstrong has urged Daniel Levy to start acting like a chairman who is in charge of a big club.

Armstrong, the Belfast-born powerhouse who led the Spurs forward line for five seasons during a career that saw him capped 63 times by Northern Ireland, believes Levy got it wrong when he sacked manager Ange Postecoglou in the aftermath of a Europa League triumph that took the Londoners back into the Champions League.

But he feels his old club have at least taken a correct turn by swooping on Brentford for Thomas Frank.

But Armstrong now wants to see his old club hand Frank the financial backing he will need to to make sure another Premier League nightmare doesn’t unfold next season.

“Tottenham are a massive club and after winning the Europa League they are back among Europe’s elite clubs,” said Armstrong.
