With Thomas Frank\u2019s position at Tottenham increasingly under the microscope, Joe Hart has shared his thoughts on the club\u2019s choice to hire the Danish coach.<\/p>\n
For many connected to Spurs, the ultra-defensive display in the North London derby seems to have been the breaking point in their doubts about the new head coach.<\/p>\n
Some former Tottenham players have openly stated that Frank isn\u2019t the right fit, a view echoed by a large number of fans online.<\/p>\n
Despite the criticism, Frank is standing firm and is determined to steady the ship. And according to one ex-Spurs star, the 52-year-old deserves the chance to do exactly that.<\/p>\n
Joe Hart says Tottenham were right to appoint Thomas Frank<\/p>\n
Hart revealed that when Frank was named as Ange Postecoglou\u2019s replacement in the summer, he believed the club had made the correct call.<\/p>\n
The former Spurs goalkeeper maintains that the ex-Brentford manager was the best option available and urged supporters to show patience.<\/p>\n
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, Hart said:
\n\u201cWhen Thomas Frank came in, it felt like the right move\u2014not in the sense that everything would suddenly transform and Tottenham would become title contenders, but that it was a sensible step toward stability. Given where Spurs were at the time, it\u2019s not as if they could just go and hire the PSG or Barcelona manager. That wasn\u2019t realistic.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou need to give him time and see how things play out, because I still think he\u2019s a very good appointment for Tottenham.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tottenham expected to keep faith with Frank<\/p>\n
Despite the outside criticism, reports suggest that the Spurs hierarchy have no intention of dismissing Frank.<\/p>\n
According to The Telegraph, the Lewis family view his tenure as a long-term project and will not rush into any drastic decisions.<\/p>\n
It seems the 52-year-old will be given the opportunity to turn things around, though there is a concern that his position could become unsustainable if the fanbase turns against him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
