Manager Thomas Frank

Chances are theyll be under a new manager then (saw theyve contacted Carrick apparently) so new manager bounce + Dr Tottenham = only one (very bad) result is likely
Has to beat Villa to stop the momentum. Fanbase needs hope.
Only way that happens is if Charrington can track down the lasagne chef to knock something up for Villa.
Probably because every time hr opens it is offensive, controversial and not the whole truth.
Definitely not great.
Maybe he should just try to win games, improve players and appreciate the fanbase support.
I'd prefer to go into that with Frank at the helm rather than a caretaker.
Has everyone forgotten the Stellini/Mason time. Literally the most miserable period at Spurs in living memory.
That lasted for two months.
The Ange / Frank overlap has lasted 18 months.
Hmm, I have nothing to say. Your arguments have so many assumptions when many facts are out there that when crossed referenced will make your points invalid.
But I don't have time for this lol. He's gone and I know nothing will change people's perception of him anyways.
I meant it would be crazy money to purchase a team like that next season if Pochettino became manager.
I mean if we had a young, progressive, high press, high tempo Manager lined up to take over - sure. But even then that guy is gonna be stuck with Bents and Pal in CM...
I just don't see any good options - other than buying someone with genuine quality and leadership in CM right NOW.
Someone should ask him why they are more attractive and if it has anything to do with Spurs being managed by a Boring negative muppet?
Honestly I dont think its enough.
The issues with Frank, IMO, go beyond results.
Ive said many times, I think the fanbase would suffer poor results if we saw improvement on the field - saw what was being built, where we were heading - and was on board with it
Instead, the draws with Palace, Brentford and Sunderland feel like loses, the results are secondary to the set up - hes getting boo's anyway
That said, if we start losing while playing like this - then itll definitely get even more sour very fast
I genuinely believe THAT manager would be getting much better football out of the existing group than Frank is now - even without necessary squad building
Spurs should only be buying from the top drawer going forward.
Every player we buy should be better than the best player we currently have in that position.
We are so shit this shouldn't be that hard to do.
Buy better players; sell the shit players.
Yeah I didn't like what he said about the gooners, but I ignored it, thought maybe he is just like that , wants to win every game, fair enough....
Then comes the league games and our losses soon got into double figures, you can't have it both ways can you!
I Love that Ange won us the EL trophy, however he let losing become normalised in the league , which is unacceptable and he paid the price for it!
Im quite happy with a 2 tier approach
I like the Bergvall, Vuskovic, Tel type buys of young, potential players
Although it means we need a manager (and system) that allows for these players to get integrated as well
But I agree, we need to improve our first team buying
I'm not even convinced Poch is the type of coach that can manage a ready made team. Or a team full of ready made players.
His whole "thing" is getting the inexperienced kids to buy into his ethos.
If he can promise me at least a point in the NLD then I'll never speak a bad word about him again and i'll be happy for him to stay till the summer!!!!
