Eamonn Holmes has delivered his verdict on Thomas Frank's potential appointment as Tottenham Hotspur manager, expressing strong confidence in the partnership.
"I could see him being at Spurs for a long time. I think that could be a very good fit," Eamonn said during a discussion about the Brentford boss's imminent move to north London.
Sports broadcaster Paul Coyte echoed Holmes's optimism, describing Frank as "a very good manager" and "a decent guy" who represents "a very good fit with Spurs".
The positive assessment comes as Tottenham prepare to pay approximately £10million in compensation to secure Frank's services from Brentford, where he has been in charge since 2018.

Speaking on GB News, Coyte said: "I think he's a very good manager. He's a decent guy and he's a very good fit with Spurs, I think.
"There's an exit fee which Spurs are going to have to pay Brentford of around £10million, which people think is a lot if you've got to pay £10million.

"However, if you think we've got to pay for a decent player and how important a player is, how important is a manager? So £10million is probably nothing."
Eamonn Holmes said: "I could see him being at Spurs for a long time. I think that could be a very good fit."
Paul Coyte said: "Let's hope he's a successful manager, and hopefully will happen today. I know Brentford aren't very happy, but they've had a great run with him. 2021 he's taken them up into the Premier League.
"That's where they've been ever since, they love him there, and I think he'll be a very good fit at Spurs."

The formal announcement of Frank's appointment is expected within days, ending Tottenham's search for a new head coach following Ange Postecoglou's dismissal last Friday.
Postecoglou's departure came despite the Australian ending Tottenham's 17-year trophy drought by winning the Europa League last month.
However, Spurs' domestic form proved catastrophic, with the club finishing 17th in the Premier League table after suffering 22 defeats in 38 matches during the 2024-25 season.
The club released a statement on Friday describing the decision to sack Postecoglou as "one of the toughest decisions" they have had to make.
Thomas Frank is set to become the new Tottenham bossPA"It is crucial that we are able to compete on multiple fronts and believe a change of approach will give us the strongest chance for the coming season and beyond," the statement read.
Tottenham also dismissed Postecoglou's coaching staff, including Mile Jedinak, Nick Montgomery and Sergio Raimundo, whilst Chief Football Officer Scott Munn was sacked as part of sweeping changes to the club's football structure.
Frank has established himself as one of the Premier League's most respected tacticians during his tenure at Brentford, currently serving as the second-longest reigning head coach in the English top flight behind Pep Guardiola.
Since taking charge in 2018, he guided the Bees to Premier League promotion in 2021 and has maintained their top-flight status ever since, achieving a 10th-place finish this past season.
