Management Thomas Frank

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Full on meltdown over at Brentford

And I quote
"he's trying to poach virtually our entire staff he goes from "fair enough - took a bigger job - I can accept that" to "f*ck off you weasel worded floppy haired tw*t" in my book."

" As with most football people loyalty is only skin deep, especially when pounds signs spin round. Weasel words"

Oh dear... anyway...

If people are gonna keep calling him Thomas the Frank Engine, some one needs to work with this

[Chorus]
They're two, they're four, they're six, they're eight
Shunting trucks and hauling freight
Red and green and brown and blue
They're the Really Useful Crew
All with different roles to play
Round Tidmouth Sheds or far away
Down the hills and round the bends
Thomas and his friends

[Verse 1]
Thomas, he's the cheeky one
James is vain but lots of fun
Percy pulls the mail on time
Gordon thunders down the line
Emily really knows her stuff
Henry toots and huffs and puffs
Edward wants to help and share
Toby, well let's say, he's square!

[Chorus]
They're two, they're four, they're six, they're eight
Shunting trucks and hauling freight
Red and green and brown and blue
They're the Really Useful Crew
All with different roles to play
Round Tidmouth Sheds or far away
Down the hills and round the bends
Thomas and his friends

They're two, they're four, they're six, they're eight
Shunting trucks and hauling freight
Red and green and brown and blue
They're the Really Useful Crew
All with different roles to play
Round Tidmouth Sheds or far away
Down the hills and round the bends
Thomas and his friends!

That's a good sign that they're emotional about it, they can also see he's maybe the only reason that they've been in the prem so long and that could well come to an end quite soon, especially if they lose Mbuemo and the full back we've been linked with as well.. I'd be pissed off if we had a super successful manager, and an amazing winger and we lost both to another team, even more if it was another PL team.

Martin Jol was here 3 years / 148 games.
Redknapp not far from 4 years / 198
Poch 5.5 years / 293 games
Over 12 years between 3 managers who could actually string 3+ league wins together outside of Conte.

It's a fallacy that we just continually change coaches, and there is often circumstances in addition to poor form such as Conte melting, AVB totally losing the dressing room and the fans rejecting Nuno from day 1.

Couple of real fact checks there.

AVB did not lose the dressing room at all, indeed most past players speak very highly of him. He failed because his best player was sold and he was told to build an entirely new team with a group of players many of whom he didn’t want, and suffered a catastrophic injury crisis to boot.

Conte left because he is a manager at the very top level of the game that demands the very highest standards that became exasperated by the attitude of our ownership. To call what he did “melting” is laughable when you look at the success he has had everywhere he has been bar Tottenham.

Nuno left because he was an absolutely horrendous appointment that everyone could see was destined to fail.

Just can't get excited about Thomas Frank. Very boring and uninspiring signing. And any bloke with two first names is sus.

You do know that Kane, Rose and Archibald are first names, don't you? So are Henry and Norman, if you're old enough.



...I'll give you David Cameron and Hugh Grant, but not James Dean or Bob Dylan.

Bit weird to be up in arms about, that's what usually happens with managers sin't it? Unless he's trying to poach the tea lady and kit man too, it's just common practice.
