Tottenham waste no time replacing Ange Postecoglou reportedly agreeing a deal with Thomas Frank
Thomas Frank has agreed to become the new Tottenham manager. The Sun understands that following talks over the weekend, the Brentford boss is close to becoming Ange Postecoglou's replacement. Frank, 51, wants to make the switch across London which will end his near-seven-year spell with the Bees. It is now down to Spurs chairman Daniel Levy to settle on a compensation package with G-Tech stadium chiefs. Tottenham brutally sacked Postecoglou on Friday despite the Aussie ending their 17-year trophy drought by winning the Europa League last month. And Levy is moving quickly to appoint the Dane, who guided Brentford to a 10th place Premier League finish this season. Fulham manager Marco Silva and Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola have been in the running but Frank is expected to become the fourth permanent Tottenham boss in the last four years. Frank joined Brentford in 2018 and after promotion to the top-flight less than three years later, he has made them an established Prem club. The Dane already wants to bring Bryan Mbeumo, 25, with him to North London with Spurs trying to hijack Manchester United's proposed deal for the Cameroonian winger. Although that could cost Levy up to $145million with a possible $20m deal for Frank, plus $125m for Mbuemo's services. That would test Tottenham's financial power, especially as Mbeumo is thought to be demanding around $520,000 per week in wages, which would make him the club's highest-paid player. But Spurs' victory over United in Bilbao does mean they can offer him Champions League football. Frank will also be tasked with a significant improvement in the Premier League following Tottenham's worst ever finish. Despite Postecoglou's European success, he oversaw a club-record 22 Prem defeats, which resulted in them coming 17th.

Goals, grit and a splash of pink: NPFL round six delivers big
It was another action-packed weekend of footy in the North Pilbara Football League, as round six saw fierce battles, passionate crowds and a community united for a cause. Port Hedland's Colin Matheson Reserve came alive on June 7 as the Hedland Rovers put on a show in front of a vibrant home crowd for Pink Day, drawing more than 300 spectators and raising over $12,500 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. The women's match kicked off the weekend, with the Karratha Kats dominating against the Hedland Rovers, 6.1 (37) to 2.1 (13). The Rovers swamped the Kats in the reserves, 16.7 (103) to 5.2 (32), and 13.12 (90) to 9.10 (64) in the League. 'It was a thrilling day on and off the field, with both the reserves and league team claiming victory; reserves with a commanding 71-point win and league winning by 26 points,' Port Hedland Rovers president Kristel Keyser said. 'The women's team also put on a strong performance in their closest game of the season against Kats, going down by just 24 points after a hard-fought contest.' Over at Bulgarra Reserve, the Karratha Falcons brought a festival feel to footy with their first 'Falcons Football Frenzy' — an all-day showcase of games across junior and senior divisions. In the women's game, the Dampier Sharks shrugged off an early challenge from the Falcons to dominate 4.8 (32) to 1.7 (13). 'The Falcons came out hard and fast, catching us slightly on the back foot early on,' Dampier Sharks women's coach Matt Burgess said. 'But after conceding the first goal, we found that extra bounce and momentum we needed to lift. 'It was a massive team effort that brought about a few exciting firsts — most notably Maddison Kelly, who kicked her first goal for the Sharks on debut, a huge moment.' The league and reserves matches went down to the wire, with the Falcons coming out on top against the Sharks 8.7 (55) to 7.10 (52) in the reserves, and the Sharks pulling through in the league to claim the win 11.4 (70) to 9.13 (67). 'It was a great contest throughout the game, with each team taking the lead at different times throughout,' Karratha Falcons League coach Dean McDonald said. 'Sharks took their opportunities in front of goals and we didn't, which hurt us with the final result. 'Unfortunately we lacked the urgency to man-up defensively in the final quarter. Full credit to the Sharks who played the game out well with possession football.' At Wickham Town Oval, the Wickham Wolves notched a triple win against the South Hedland Swans, 6.11 (47) to 3.0 (18) in the women's, 17.10 (112) to 9.6 (60) in the reserves and 28.16 (184) to 4.4 (28) in the league.
