    The main reason nearly a week passed between Tottenham Hotspur sacking Ange Postecoglou and announcing Thomas Frank as his successor was because negotiations with Brentford over the Dane’s backroom staff had dragged on.

He has no experience of European competition and Spurs are competing in the Champions League next season, while sections of the fanbase and some of the players are upset about Ange Postecoglou's sacking.
