Management Thomas Frank

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

This is stuff that came out of the 'reveiw'. The coaching team got an absolutely mercilessly critique from Ange down, the level of practical and logistically issues raised around the player fitness recovery and tactical preparedness didn't reflect well at all. Someone said 'Michelin star facilities McDonald's chefs' .

Ange is a great motivator, no questions about it, but other aspects and details got seriously slept on. Some argue he was let down by people he put trust in. But he placed that trust in them he made the call to come to his biggest job without an established backroom.

One thing that has apparently been 'learned' is they this doesn't work Nuno got similarly separated from a long standing assistant and suffered too. There's loads of anecdotes about confused players tactically . And loads about poor conditioning.
Putting the bad mouthing of Ange to the side …

100% - Managers need to be allowed to bring their staff with them.

Surprised managers (Ange, Nuno, Conte) agreed to join us without their team … Levy setting things up so we can’t get the best out of our managers.

If Frank joins, he needs to insist/be allowed to bring his people with him to Hotspur Way …
 
From Brentford Forum

some on here thinking it’s not a big move upwards is just sticking one’s head in the sand …they have one of the best grounds in the world, a decent squad on paper with money to spend for the CL campaign, one of the most loyal supports home and away (far far better than Woolwich)….etc etc …plus if he likes living locally to TW8 he doesn’t have to move which will prob be a major family factor too👍
If offered the job he’s gone like Mr Gump going for a run 😀
Bloke from Brentford thinks more of THFC than half the fanbois. Who want us grateful for 17th and a cup. Get to fuck

When he joined wasn't it mentioned that Ange generally joins clubs alone?
 
I sense a "cult" forming around him already....and he hasn't even been announced yet!
Just having to counter the numpties in the fanbase who have already decided he's a bust without knowing - or understanding - anything about him... or football.

Necessary work.

He's coming here.

If it all goes left I'll be first in line to get him out.

Because THFC always comes first.

Because I'm not a fannyboy feelz merchant like the deranged Ange stans who are trying to create a toxic environment for this guy to step into.

Not having it, and they can all get bent.
 
Honestly, with just 3 decent signings, I genuinely think we have a squad capable of challenging top 4 and having a proper go in all cup competitions. For me, Ange had the belief and fight that is vital for teams that win. Frank hasn't got that and if he wins us anything or gets top 4 next season it will be a miracle. But hey, he's a nice guy, maybe he'll get a trophy for that.
That’s all well and good but that belief and fight needs to be backed up with some tactical nous, which sadly Ange didn’t seem to have

Don’t worry, they will be sucking Frank off in no time, they just need a replacement for Ange’s dick. This guy will be their new hero soon.
