“Stefan Borson Drops BOMBSHELL: Tottenham’s JAW-DROPPING £10M Mega-Deal UNLEASHES Game-Changing New Star!”
Spurs Face £10 Million Payout as Agreement Reached
Tottenham Hotspur officially confirmed on Thursday, 12 June, that Thomas Frank has been appointed as their new head coach on a three-year contract.
Frank became the leading candidate for the role after Spurs made the decision to part company with Ange Postecoglou last week.
The 51-year-old previously managed Brentford, taking the helm in 2018. He successfully guided the club to Premier League promotion in 2021 and helped them secure their status in the top tier.
Finance specialist Stefan Borson told Football Insider that Tottenham’s qualification for the 2025-26 Champions League will ease the financial burden of compensation owed to both Brentford and Postecoglou following the managerial switch.
Postecoglou is set to receive a £5 million payout from Spurs after his contract was terminated with two years remaining. He also received a £2 million bonus after leading the team to Europa League glory last month.
According to Borson, Spurs are believed to have paid Brentford around £10 million to secure Frank’s release. He told Football Insider, “The compensation is what it is.
They likely knew the figure for some time—it’s probably contractual and not something they negotiated much, if at all. If they decided Frank was their man, they would’ve factored the cost in.”
He continued, “£10 million seems to be the standard rate for these kinds of appointments. That’s around what Leicester got for Maresca, and Brighton reportedly got even more for Potter.
Then there’s the payout for Postecoglou. But these costs were likely planned well before any final decision was made.”
Borson also highlighted that Tottenham’s recent success will help offset these expenses: “You’ve got the Champions League qualification money, the Europa League prize money, and the guaranteed revenue from playing in the UEFA Super Cup. It’s all part of the business.”
Meanwhile, there are developments on the player front as well. On 10 June, Football Insider reported that Spurs could entertain a major offer for Son Heung-min, regardless of Frank’s opinion.
The 32-year-old remains a top target for clubs in the Saudi Pro League.
Insiders suggest the club’s hierarchy could make an executive decision to sell the South Korean forward if a highly profitable offer arrives.
The potential deal could be pursued even if it overrides Frank’s preferences, indicating a possible power dynamic between the new manager and the club’s leadership.
