Simon Jordan has launched a sharp critique of Tottenham manager Thomas Frank, bluntly declaring that \u201che sucks\u201d in a surprising rant.<\/p>\n
Frank has enjoyed a strong start to the new season following his high-profile move from Brentford in the summer. The Danish coach guided Brentford to promotion in 2021 and later established them as a stable mid-table Premier League side, turning the West London club into a disciplined and resilient team, particularly at the Gtech Stadium, where they were notoriously difficult to beat.<\/p>\n
Given Frank\u2019s achievements at Brentford, many felt he had earned the opportunity to step up to a bigger club. Tottenham had been searching for a new manager after parting ways with Ange Postecoglou at the end of the previous season. Although the Australian had led the North Londoners to Europa League success, it was not enough to secure his continued tenure. Frank emerged as one of several candidates, alongside Bournemouth\u2019s Andoni Iraola and Fulham\u2019s Marco Silva, both of whom also possessed strong Premier League credentials. In hindsight, appointing Frank has proven to be a sound decision.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, Frank revealed that he had been approached by both Manchester United and Chelsea on the same day in May 2024 but ultimately chose to remain with Brentford. He described the experience as valuable and expressed pride at reaching that stage in his career.<\/p>\n
However, Simon Jordan has criticised Frank for sharing that story publicly. Speaking on talkSPORT, Jordan argued that while Frank may appear relatable and authentic to fans, his failure to impress during interviews at top clubs suggests shortcomings at that level. Jordan claimed that Frank \u201csucks at interview levels and spends more time writing a book than doing interviews.\u201d He implied that Frank\u2019s personality might not be as genuine as it seems, and that this affected his chances with Manchester United and Chelsea.<\/p>\n
Jordan\u2019s comments stand in contrast to Frank\u2019s consistent professionalism at Tottenham. The Dane has frequently apologised to supporters after disappointing performances and maintained a strong connection with the fanbase.<\/p>\n
With these discussions behind him, Frank and Tottenham can now focus on their next challenge: a crucial North London derby against league leaders Arsenal. A win could deal a major blow to their rivals\u2019 title hopes while boosting Spurs\u2019 chances of European qualification.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
