In the lead-up to Spurs’ clash with Wolves at the weekend, Thomas Frank was pressed for his thoughts on rumours of a takeover.
Spurs fans are split on the potential takeover after it was reported that an American consortium were looking to make the largest-ever bid for a club.
Appearing in front of the media on Friday, Spurs manager Thomas Frank was inevitably going to be asked about this subject, and he was ready with his response.
What Thomas Frank has been told regarding a Spurs takeover
Frank isn’t long in the door at Spurs, and already he has seen Daniel Levy step down from his role as chairman. The Danish manager isn’t interested in any more change as he tries to implement his philosophy in North London.
In response to a question about the situation at the club in the face of these rumours, Frank spoke plainly.
He said: “I am to start with very stable, Daniel had been here 25 years and then change came. OK, I didn’t expect that.
“Since then the Lewis family has been very good, very transparent that club is not for sale. For me personally, I feel in a very stable environment.”
It seems Frank isn’t paying much mind to the speculation, and the ownership have made their stance clear to him.
Spurs owners reject the American interest
What Frank has told us has been reaffirmed by a breaking report from Ben Jacobs.
Despite the mind-boggling sum that has been put forward, the Lewis family isn’t giving their interest the time of day.
Spurs are in a really good place at present. They have become fierce competitors in the transfer market, and have assembled a young, talented squad they believe can bring sustained success.
The Premier League’s growth in recent seasons has been rapid, and now does not seem like the time for anyone to be jumping ship.
As Jacobs explains, no official bid has been put forward, so we can’t know the outcome for sure.
But from what Frank has said, and the reports coming from the executive level, this takeover won’t have the legs to materialise.
