Manager Thomas Frank
- Thread starter The Fighting Cock
- Start date
Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
So you mean, Frank is a manager who is good enough to punch above the weights and make the best use of the squad.....
GOOD
Then there is only one problem left . thats the ownership of Levy. At the very least one less problem to worry about.
He fucked up his subsequent edit as well. The guy is a fucken mess*you're
As someone who lived there, and watched (and even enjoyed) Scottish football I concur.
There are some big teams in Scotland but even they can't compete with Championship teams for money
Thomas Frank might finish in the top 9 next season with Spurs, what a time to be alive!
Its winning the Playoff .. I didnt say winning the championship , did I ?
But that playoff means, facing off in a cup style competiton...lets say like Europa League instead of champions league...if I have to reach out to your sense of winning...
Its still winning.... life changer for most of them who do it.

Well I could bet you we wouldn't have been near relegation with Ange next season either.
It's kind of irrelevant for Frank.
We both agree that Frank won't finish top 5, get into the CL, and win a trophy.
Thank God we found something we agreed on.
The important part that we disagree on is that, therefore, I think it is stupid hiring him right now.
Nah, he 's slabbering at the mouth of getting out of championships and then lounging arounf mid-table in the Prem. This is the height of their ambitions. Back to square one and Frank if he becomes manager will likely be on the radar of getting canned in 18 or so months time. Rinse and repeat.
2.5m for 6 months then 12.5m immediately with indefinite holiday is my guess.
I disagree, but respect your preference*fuckin'
Being serious for a moment, I'd love to see him achieve top 4. He's a good coach.
He seems a genuinely nice guy, but in the clips posted here no coaching cliche goes unspoken ... which is what a smart guy would do when the camera is turned on him, so that is not a knock on him.
If you put their Premier League records side by side I think Iraola has done more. You never know who is responsible for individual signings, but Bournemouth seem to have made smarter signings than Brentford since Iraola arrived. I think Kerkez, Huijsen, Evanilson and Kluivert all came in on his watch? He plays a 433 in a way that would actually suit the players we have at the club.
Winning is binary
It’s not a cup competition and it’s not winning the championship
If we did a playoff for the bottom 4 of the PL to see who stays up, it would be just as big a game. Would it be winning?
Bergvall, Romero, and Van Der Ven are gone within the next four weeks
Why it is stupid to hire him ?
Because , in your mind, you thought of some random hypothetical thing and you just convinced yourself you are right ???
Fuck are you talking about?
At this club you get what your given.
Look at the last window!
Wage-pay is the way it's going now.
Frank is a balance of both data and culture.
And thank fuck he has the former in his pocket to help ID what we need and work effectively within our procurement model.
Perfect manager at the perfect time.
You think an Inzaghi is coming here to fight with Baldcunt over an extra 10-20k a week wages for a player he requires?
People need to wake tf up.
Very different and difficult sort of challenge to build that kind of culture at Tottenham than at Brentford, especially where you're replacing a popular figure in the dressing room.
Brentford have a ton of players in their squad still there from two years before they made the Premier League. It's been a core of guys with Frank the whole way.
