I was thinking that too, although I think he's a bit of a dipstick (maybe that was just him fitting in with the locals!). His credentials speak for themselves though, then again so did José and Conte.

Here's hoping.
I don't think anyone quite knows what Frank is trying to do however, and he does not inspire confidence.
Well good luck with the divorce and your new life moving forward.
But remember, the negativity towards Spurs is brought on by the club itself....and should never be blamed on the fans who get put through the mill time and time again.
It will take decades to recover from the hideous disaster of winning a major European Trophy for sure.
We better make sure we never do it again and on THAT metric everything's certainly going to plan this season
Let's just ignore the 22 league defeats eh?

For someone who doesn't like Postecoglou you sure do post about him a lot
it might be just easier if you apologise to everyone for telling them a new coach would magically fix us and stop policing other people's enjoyment of the European Trophy eh?
Some of us warned you the grass wouldn't be greener and we want to focus on fixing our current problems which have always ran much deeper than either Postecoglou, Frank or any manager to be honest.
Sooner you accept that sooner you can find some peace.
Postecoglou is shit. Hes not a Winner...we...Spurs, never lost as many games in a single season ever until that fraud rocked up, we are still paying for it now.
Stop the delusion.
Frank is probably shit as well at this level, if that makes you feel better. But he is nowhere near as bad as Postecoglou.
We can’t know that any replacement, even Poch, will definitely be better.
But tbh I’m not expecting much more from Frank. He’s trying to put in the same system he had at Brentford but with players not well-suited to it and with a fanbase that want to see more.
I get that you see Frank as a smart guy who can adapt and change but he’s been here 6 months now and shown zero signs of that.
We do need to give a coach time but we also need to be sure it’s the right coach we’re giving time to. What happens if we rebuild the squad to Brentford ball and eventually learn that really it’s just a model built on maths and odds that will get you enough wins to finish mid table with any resources but not one that can dominate games and win trophies?
He only got the job because of family connections too surely?
Hope life settles down soon for you, best wishes.

I just cant take you seriously... you said Richarlison has more strings to his bow than Solanke.
Richarlison is literally a Bow with no strings.
Easily one of the worst takes ive ever read on TFC.
I agree and he was a youth player with us, who's career ended prematurely.
Hes most definitely a capable coach but the championship until he proves it otherwise is probably his level
You can do back and forth versions of this forever. Every situation is unique. We aren’t nearly that bad. We’re probably going through to the knockouts of the champions league. That was a confusing hire the very beginning. And if we’re truly in danger of relegation, then I don’t have a problem with getting rid of him, but at this point, I don’t think we’re even close.
Yeah, I guess your right.
If only Solanke was Brazilian....I'm sure he'd have blown Richie's 50 odd international caps out the water

I agree, we don't know any will be better, that's kind of my point. We need someone who can adapt, I don't expect anyone at this point will turn it around in less than a season. Ange was a polarising force that reduce our flexibility for 2 seasons, entrenching a simplicity that we still suffer from.
I'd happily take the right coach over Frank, but I cannot be arsed to keep hitting refresh, hoping the next one is the one and we didn't just fuck over a better chance. But We'll find out either way by Easter, I reckon.
You see, this is where you are rewriting history my friend.
He played in 10 of our opening 11 Premier League matches, starting in 8 of them, and started 2 of our first 3 Champions League games. He also played in a League Cup game.
He wasn’t the player he was of course, but still a vitally important player for us.
He then picked up an ankle injury against Wolves in early November, and wasn’t seen again.
My point very much stands - he was still a key part of the squad (shouldn’t have been let get to that stage of course) and had he not picked up the ankle injury, he would have continued to play routinely prior to leaving for China in January.
He should not have been sold that January without a replacement being brought in - period. This revisionist nonsense that he was a crock that we were lucky to get any money for is exactly that - revisionist nonsense.
It will take decades to recover from the hideous disaster of winning a major European Trophy for sure.
We better make sure we never do it again and on THAT metric everything's certainly going to plan this season
“Major”
The fact Richarlison has 50 caps for Brazil.....Just says everything that is wrong with Brazilian football.Yeah, I guess your right.
If only Solanke was Brazilian....I'm sure he'd have blown Richie's 50 odd international caps out the water

You just went straight to nonsense to defend your point.
