He completely tossed away 2 points today (lucky to keep the 1 in the end).

Sunderland had zero belief they would get anything from that game, until we backed off in the 2nd half and their confidence grew and grew.

It's pathetic how much of a coward he is.

It's not just at Frank though is it? It's at the hierarchy....it's the no wins at home nearly all year, charging sky high prices...and now dull football on top of it all.

The fans have a right to show their frustration come the final whistle.

I get the frustration around hierarchy, no wins all year, charging Sky High prices but the booing directed at frank when walking down the tunnel is embarrassing.

Mate, nobody asked him to dare the fans to tell him what they think…

He literally said Spurs fans don’t have the balls to say it to his face…Well, guess what ? He learned that he maybe didn’t know that much about Spurs fans.

But he isn't going to drop all those big players because you can't play a youth team in this league.

There isn't a manager who could come in and change this group of players, the squad needs serious investment. I think the defence is okay... but the attack is diabolical.

I know this is different scenarios but Frank had EIGHT years at Brentford with less resource. You can't expect him to come in and change every single thing within the club in one transfer window surely?!

Sack him for the next flavour of the month? Most fans were happy with his appt in the summer after seeing what he had done with Brentford.

He's not become a bad manager overnight. He needs time.

29 games and we’ve seen fuck all. Not good enough for this club.

Prof on COYS

Two sources have told me that following a meeting last month between VL and VV, the process for identifying managerial candidates and creating a short list is under way. One of them said that Rafi Moersen is also involved though that would be odd given he hasn't officially started working for us. Then again, Scott Munn was very (too?) much involved in the decision process that led to Ange being hired, despite SM not officially working for us until 3 months after Ange was hired, so I suppose there is a precedent. The other source said that the Academy Director (Simon Davies --- not the one who played for us) has been providing his input into the process.

If the above is correct (and I have no idea whether it is or isn't), it's highly surprising to me that RM and SD were stated as being involved, but neither source mentioned FP or JL taking part. Perhaps, and this is entirely speculation on my part not info from a Gnome, they expect FP to be gone and/or JL is being held accountable for the TF hire. It's hard to see how internal strife at the club would increase the likelihood of them making a better (more Spurs-compatible?) managerial decision this time around.

PD says to FP that GH is big on HJ, BB is of GK which means GH works well with GT, GT is having TGH thinking about GH but GH is more of a HUI man, FP is really up for GYI which means BB needs to really get his DFR with his POI. We clear.

The home form is shit for a reason.

Fans that keep quiet when we are winning, boo when we lose.

It's so so fickle and quite frankly it's embarrassing.

This isn't a new thing btw, fans have been booing for years, Conte's first game, booing also directed at our own players i.e Emerson, Vicario etc.

No wonder the home atmosphere is awful now.

And what about last season under Ange? Or is that just forgotten about? If you don't think that has anything to do with why we are so shit this season I think you need to have a rethink.

Celtic went from dogshit form under Rodgers, to 8 wins in 9 under O'Neil, to their worst managerial start ever under Nancy.

This idea that a manager can't turn a teams form around without 'time' needs to stop.

I know the squad is shite. Multiple things can be wrong at once.

Agree. I just think we need to focus on the bigger problem first - which is the dearth of Elite talent in key areas on field. Money and time spent replacing the entire coaching staff yet again when we need to be signing the likes of Declan Rice (as an example) is futile and cyclical.

FWIW I don't consider you a "Deranger". I reserve that epithet for those who made (and continue to make) normal Spurs fans lives a misery for two years simply for wanting to support manager and team.

While I agree to a point, Celtic on paper should be steamrollering everyone anyway. I have no idea what that Nancy guy is doing, but losing 90% of your matches when your budget is probably the same as the rest of the league combined is absolutely wild.

In Franks defence, it's a whole different ballgame with Spurs, we have a middling squad with a middling wage budget.

He's still underperforming though.

All that may be true but he dared the fans to tell him to his face.

Nobody can be surprised when they do exactly that. It was suicide.
 
Surely a loss to Bournemouth is it? And we will lose. They’re not winning games but they will murder us in transitions.

We should be leaving there with Iraola. Get him signed up.
