The likes of Glassner and Iraola are on the same level as Frank reputation-wise as well as with their managerial record therefore to me would just seem like a sideways move to get either in.

Furthermore, neither would have the patience of the fans to implement a project, so why bother? Just give Frank more time to see if he can turn things around. We can’t keep hiring and firing managers, shit is ridiculous now and I think the ritual is feeding into the fans impatience and enabling it to an extent.

Maybe Iraola, but Glasner has a major European trophy and an FA Cup. His reputation is far brighter than Frank’s.

It's frustrating. I watched Brighton and Nottingham Forest today and I kept seeing these Brighton players who seem to come out of nowhere and just plug into their system and right away show what they are good at. Maybe playing on a big London team takes away some of the spontaneity and enthusiasm players on lesser squads feel. There's a difference in young players trying to get somewhere and young players who are already there on the big team. And that makes the manager's job all the more difficult.

System club- they are willing to take a lesser player that will take longer to come around because they are the right profile and fit. And they manage to keep a fairly consistent style and tactics despite the roundabout of managers. Whatever they are doing is maximizing their purchasing/development power. Really ought to be something the new Lewis clan are looking at. Even if they aren't mega-rich, such a system properly implemented with enough spending power should be able to produce a title challenging team every 4-5 years...

It's the same for other teams. Academy players transit seamlessly into the first team when their stars were sold. Managers had immediate effect in just the first 2 games. Only us that we need a bedding-in period of 3-6 months, be it our players or managers. As if we played some kind of highly complex game different to others.

With Levy there was always a business vision but not a football vision. I think appointing Postecoglou, who didn't work out, and Frank, who probably will have been attempts in that direction. But you hit on one thing I think is very interesting, and that is that Spurs talk about committing to the academy concept and then don't.

We went from occasional 4-2-4 to part time back 5- in terms of tactical consistency, this is about as far away as you can get.
