Thomas Frank has negotiated the first 96 days of his Tottenham rule with little fuss.
Through the minefield of contentious departures of his predecessor Ange Postecoglou, his captain Heung-min Son and his chairman Daniel Levy, the Dane has pitched more right than wrong.
He has spoken carefully, but more important than anything said has been unspoken message from the performances of his team.
Spurs are shaping up nicely as they approach 100 days under the new boss. Three wins out of four in the Premier League with only one goal conceded.
