Thomas Frank has a rare ability to win over supporters by playing football that is both exciting and pragmatic. The Danish tactician achieved this during his time at Brentford, and is now replicating the feat at N17, quickly earning the admiration of the Spurs faithful. The Dane’s strong start to the season has left fans optimistic about what lies ahead for the Lilywhites.

Ian Darke has now shared light on how the ex-Brentford boss might be convincing the Spurs fans. Speaking to Tottenham News, Darke said,

“I think Frank is the kind of character who’s not overawed by being at somewhere like Tottenham. And he’s quite good too. Not only building that spirit and togetherness among the players, but getting the fans on board with what the team are trying to do. Although they’re a fickle bunch, I think the Tottenham fans are buying into it as well.”

The iconic commentator added,

“So I think as long as they kind of go along the way they’re going and maybe make a decent fist of the Champions League, which they might, I think the signs are, this could be a good season for Tottenham.”

Ian Darke believes that Thomas Frank is not ‘overawed’ by being at Tottenham and he has successfully managed to get the players on board with his vision in a short span of time. The iconic commentator also suggests that the brilliant start to the season has helped the Danish tactician win over the Spurs fans as well in recent weeks. Darke insists that a good run in the Champions League this season will help Frank get the fans on his side completely as it would be deemed a successful campaign.

So, the Lilywhites should aim to give their all in every competition and try to build on their Europa League success. Finishing in the top-half of the Premier League table, along with a deep cup run would be deemed as a massive success for the ex-Brentford boss.
