Asked about the football calendar after Sunday's draw with Chelsea, Frank said: "It happens all the time.

"I once had this season that we had the least rest between games when we played Carabao Cup games and we played teams with bigger squads. I didn't think that was fair and it was the one time I raised it but if there is two days in between, we deal with it no problem and with three days, always there is no problem.

"Then there is a bigger conversation about the amount of games over a year- but that is not for us and more for the teams in Europe. Then there is the Club World Cup, which is ridiculous in my opinion. Then I understand it is too much.

"It's just because it is another tournament. Who wants it? No one."

Asked if he'll be watching the CWC, Frank added: "No, I will enjoy my summer. No chance!"
