Frank calls for Spurs fans to support Tel after racist abuse
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR manager Thomas Frank has called on fans to rally behind Mathys Tel following the racist abuse the forward suffered this week. Tel was targeted online after missing a penalty in Tottenham's UEFA Super Cup shoot-out defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday. The club condemned the abuse, describing it as 'disgusting,' while teammates Dominic Solanke and Richarlison publicly voiced their support. Kick It Out warned that such incidents could deter players from taking penalties in high-pressure situations. Frank, speaking ahead of his first Premier League game in charge, demanded unconditional backing for Tel from Spurs supporters. 'It's of course terrible what happened to Matty and we're doing everything we can to support him in this situation,' Frank said. 'He's a strong person and with hopefully the support from his family, friends and us he will get through it, but also there's no real Tottenham supporter that will ever do that.' Frank expressed confidence that true fans would show solidarity with Tel during Saturday's match against Burnley. 'The real Tottenham supporters that we'll see tomorrow at the stadium, they'll back him, I expect them to.' He urged fans to give Tel a warm reception to help him move past the incident. 'Listen, in tough times we step up together and I expect the fans to give him a really, really, really big cheer tomorrow.' Tel is set to feature in the matchday squad alongside Yves Bissouma, who was dropped for the Super Cup due to disciplinary issues. 'There was a situation. I addressed this. There was a consequence. Bissouma will be in the squad tomorrow. Move forward and we have a big game,' Frank clarified. Bissouma's future remains uncertain as he enters the final year of his contract, with Tottenham still active in the transfer market. The club has been linked with Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze and Manchester City's Savinho, though Frank avoided discussing specific targets. 'In many ways, I'm very happy with the squad. I think there's a lot of good players,' he said. Frank acknowledged the club's efforts to strengthen the squad ahead of the new season. 'Of course, we want as strong and competitive a squad as possible. I know that Daniel (Levy), Johan (Lange) and Vinai (Venkatesham) are working night and day.' Saturday's match marks Frank's first home game as Spurs boss after replacing Ange Postecoglou in the summer. He faces pressure to improve on last season's disappointing 17th-place finish, despite winning the Europa League. 'I know when I wake up tomorrow and I know when I step into the stadium that I will feel a little butterflies no doubt,' Frank admitted. The Dane described the occasion as a special moment in his managerial career. 'That'll be the first time, so that'll be special.' - AFP

Sacked Postecoglou as hailed ‘a Spurs legend' by Son
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR captain Son Heung-min said Ange Postecoglou, who was sacked as manager on Friday, had 'changed the trajectory of this club' by delivering their first silverware in 17 years. Postecoglou guided Tottenham to a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final last month to clinch the club's first European prize in 41 years and secure a place in next season's Champions League. But the 59-year-old Australian paid the price for Tottenham's worst domestic season since they were relegated from the top flight in 1976-77. Tottenham lost 22 of their 38 Premier League games to finish 17th in the table, above only relegated trio Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton. Son, though, in an effusive tribute on Instagram said Postecoglou had transformed the club. 'Gaffer. You've changed the trajectory of this club,' wrote Son. 'You believed in yourself, and us, since day one and never wavered for a second. Even when others did. 'You knew what we were capable of all along. You did it your way. And your way brought this club the best night it's had in decades. We will have those memories for life.' Son, who has seen five managers sacked in the past six years by chairman Daniel Levy, said he had formed a close relationship with Postecoglou during his two year tenure. 'You trusted me with the captaincy,' said the 32-year-old Korean star. 'One of the highest honours of my career. It's been an incredible privilege to learn from your leadership up close. 'I am a better player and a better person because of you. 'Ange Postecoglou, you are a Tottenham Hotspur legend forever. Thank you, mate.' Tottenham were ravaged by injuries and in the latter stages of the campaign Postecoglou focused on keeping his key players fit and fresh for the Europa League. The gamble paid off but even securing Tottenham's first trophy since the 2008 League Cup was not enough to save the former Celtic handler. Brentford boss Thomas Frank, Fulham manager Marco Silva, Crystal Palace's FA Cup winning handler Oliver Glasner and Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola are reportedly the leading candidates to replace Postecoglou. – AFP
