Thomas Frank refuses to put timeline on Tottenham's Premier League title quest
Despite Tottenham's Premier League struggles after an injury-ravaged season, Levy made the bold claim last month that they 'need' to win the title.
Frank said: 'I share his ambitions for the club. A club of this size should have that ambition.
'How far away we are is probably very difficult to say, but we should throw it forward and go for it.
'No doubt that needs to be the aim for the future. What are to odds for us winning the PL this season?
'I'm not allowed to gamble either, so I think we're probably not the favourites. Probably three teams at least ahead of us but we will do what we can to build a strong and competitive team.'
Brave. Aggressive. Attack.

During a busy first press conference as Spurs boss, Frank regularly stated his desire to improve the robustness of the squad to ensure they can handle four competitions.
There were also plenty of questions about the future of key duo Son Heung-min and Cristian Romero.
Son achieved his own goal of winning silverware at Tottenham in May and there has been a suggestion if he wanted to leave the club would not stand in his way.
But Frank, who refused to confirm if Son would remain captain, insisted: 'It's always tricky situations like that.
'If a player has been at a club a long time, then there will always be a decision for the club to take of course.
'And of course, the head coach and the guys who are in charge and this case will be with Daniel and Johan (Lange), because there is something in it if someone wants to leave at a certain stage, then there can be something there, but the club will always decide in the end.'
Postecoglou's first summer at Spurs was overshadowed by Bayern Munich's protracted pursuit of Harry Kane, which eventually ended a day before the start of the season.
Frank would not want a repeat, but added: 'First and foremost, he's (Son) here now. I'm not worried too much about it.'

Man Utd transfer news: Star considers exit as Old Trafford stance on new striker emerges
Manchester United still have work to do in the transfer market with a number of sales to make before they can add new players for Ruben Amorim with weeks remaining of the transfer window Just three weeks remain until the start of the Premier League season as Ruben Amorim shapes his new squad. The Red Devils are looking to bounce back from a disappointing season that saw a 15th place finish in the top-flight. United have added Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Diego Leon in time for their tour of the United States. The Red Devils have replenished their forward line in their bid to solve goalscoring issues but are yet to add a true striker to their squad. United have been linked to the likes of Ollie Watkins and Benjamin Sesko as the club continue to monitor opportunities. But exits may be required before another deal is done in the north west. Marcus Rashford has finally departed but just on loan and United will hope for transfer fees to bolster their kitty for the final weeks. Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia are all up for sale but yet to find new clubs this summer. Star considers exit Luke Shaw is 'ready to quit' Manchester United and willing to listen to offers from other clubs. The 30-year-old defender is reported to be aware of 'serious' interest from Saudi Arabia and mulling a departure in the coming months. Shaw is said to understand that his decade-long United career could be coming to an end with competition in his position from new additions Patrick Dorgu and Diego Leon. Amorim is said to be in no rush to lose Shaw however, despite the injury-plagued star's £150,000-a-week wages. New suitors Two clubs from the Saudi Pro League are interested in signing Antony from Manchester United. The Brazilian winger has been left out of United's pre-season tour squad having spent the second half of last season on loan at Real Betis. The La Liga side have yet to agree a deal for the former Ajax star who impressed in La Liga last term. United want to seal a permanent exit and transfer fee for the player, with Betis thus far unwilling to make an offer that meets United's demands. Antony has also been linked too Erik ten Hag's new side Bayer Leverkusen. The Dutch coach pushed back on the chance of a move however, and said: "We're not interested in him at the moment, but we'll see what happens in the future." Stance on a new striker An imminent move for a striker is not expected from Manchester United after signing Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, per the Manchester Evening News. The Red Devils have been linked with signing a new out-and-out forward but have thus far not seen progress with sales required to bolster their transfer funds. The club's plans were stalled when Liam Delap chose to sign for Chelsea instead of moving to Old Trafford. Nevertheless, Ruben Amorim is pleased with how his squad is shaping up. United have not ruled out a move for a new goalscorer however and are assessing what is feasible in the coming weeks. Sales are said to be 'essential' despite being provided some financial headroom by Marcus Rashford's loan move.

How much Son Heung-min's 'K Factor' is really worth to Tottenham: The enormous value of South Korean fandom, what Spurs lose if he completes Los Angeles switch - and the US jackpot they can finally seize
On Easter Monday came a glimpse for Tottenham into something they haven't had for a decade: a future without . Nottingham Forest were visiting and Spurs had by this stage of the campaign surrendered hope in all but the Europa League, but there was another reason for an unusual number of empty seats and it was not lost on those in the boardroom.
