Management Thomas Frank

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I didn’t say he’s not aware and I wasn’t having a go at him.

I was making the point, that this is the difference.

Brentford press conferences and Spurs press conferences come with an entirely different level of scrutiny.

The club will need to help him to start out
I can't imagine how naive you have to be to think that a club with our absolute fucking horror show PR management will in any way shape or form help Frank to gel with the fans. If anything I'd say fucking ignore everything they say and be yourself, the interview his mate the current Denmark manager tells all you need to know about how much Frank rates the opportunity to come here and how big we are, therefore what we expect. He's not about to tell us we're delusional for wanting to beat City or Liverpool, he'll come here and try and do it. With actual tactics.
 
Wow. I'm not that bad.

Earlier today I got accused of spoiling every thread as well.

A fella could get a complex if he cared what faceless words on a screen said about him!

:ange-arms:
We did you a solid because we love youze lots! 😁

I was banned once for something so trivial I can’t even recall and walked after getting barred from the transfer section for something equally innocuous.

The A&C dude must have to compensate for having a teeny weeny pecker!

Ok mate.

He will just wow us with his actual tactics and even if results aren’t great, the press conferences will be easy for him.

Just like Brentford
 
from 7am he'd be at the training ground. We had a meeting with him at Carrington and that was the only time we could get.

His office had a massive window overlooking the training pitch. He might not have taken the sessions but by god they were in awe of him and knew that he might be watching them at any stage.

I also saw one of the players when he'd been called in for a meeting. He looked like he was walking to a firing squad. When he realised it wasn't something bad he'd done he almost fell over with relief.

Don't think our players had anything like the same respect for Matey. And I do realise that things have moved on somewhat in the last 15 years. Dont think for a minute that Romero wouldve got away with those "performances" he put in before International breaks. Like the Ipswich fuck up. And Porro going walkabout in the first minute v Villa away in the cup. And the whole back 4 at Wolves 0-2 down in 10 mins.
It's hard to believe it took Fergie three seasons to win a trophy (whilst finishing 11th) and 7 years to win a title. The first 4 or 5 years was about overhauling the squad and building a winning culture at the club. In the modern game he'd have not seen out his second season.

I got myself a log on and when I tried to use it I found I'd been banned already

and for once I'm not joking
Was your login White Van Jan there?
I suspect the SS from SC are on here keeping an eye out for anyone dissonance and anyone that may spoil their grift.

I thought Conte was the one , i also thought Ange would be sacked by Christmas :ange-arms:
Conte was never going to last at Spurs and that was him for once rather than us.
I just hoped he'd push us as close to the top as possible.
And as for the other wally, should have been sacked by xmas 23. Then xmas 24.
Imagine if we get to 100 pages and it’s not even Frank! :ange-facepalm2:

It'll be hilarious.
Until plan B is Allardyce or Southgate.
Then again......neither are aussie pub league managers.

Who knows what results will be? Certainly not you or me, else we'd be fucking rich off betting and not bothering with a forum. Let's just see what he does. Don't worry about pointless shit like press conferences. Just looking for reasons for him to fail before he's even started.
 
This dude, Frank, is supposed to be odds on our next manager and I haven’t been convinced by anything about him. It would be his first time at an elite club and we have been the scene of many a drowned manager out of their depth. Postecoglu just being the latest.

I wish someone on this thread would make a compelling case. I’m all ears

Agree with this - Ignore the nonsense. Focus on results on the pitch.

I never got the Ange hate over his pressers - who cares what he said to a bunch of wanker reporters

I was Ange out due to league record but I thought his handling of the media was funny/brilliant - I think part of his popularity with the players is that Ange’s media style kept the focus off the players which if intentional = pretty brilliant.
 
It's hard to believe it took Fergie three seaosns to win a trophy
agreed

but the previous manager was Gypsy Ron Atkinson. Covered in bling, turned a blind eye to the hard drinkers and alcoholics. Difficult ship to turn around. Before him it was Dave Sexton. Good tactician but not much of a disciplinarian. And Tommy doc who was fired for shagging the physios Missus.

What a fecking shambles he walked in to

There are enough posts, links and vid clips in here to do that for you (or not, as the case might be).

Just start from page 1.

I think for a lot of fans, the only compelling case they have is "He's not Ange".

That and "He's managed to keep Brentford in the Premier League"


This time last year he was sitting on 19 Premier league losses with Brentford, who finished in 16th place.

I hope he's a success, but he's suddenly going to have to make a giant leap up.

Well, his ears are fucking massive. Everywhere he goes… Frank’s ears are massive…
