Manager Thomas Frank

Do you want Glasner? Him and Iraola's stars have fallen somewhat with these disappointing seasons. Glasner looks the better of the two still imo right now.
Oh no, no, no! I was told by people that claimed to know football that Thomas Frank was a tactical genius and was the tonic we needed to fix us, and that this squad was capable of so much more.
I never wanted Ange and I was ambivilent of Frank.
I'm just pointing out what is now surely obvious that this bunch of misfits inexpertly assembled by recruitment is absolute shite. And no manager is fixing this.
Floppy haired Frank must go, but if you think anything is changing you must be inhaling with Biss
Yeah, this is the definition of a "win-win"
Agree completely. Frank has obviously not done a good job and is probably going to get sacked as the fall guy, but this is more on the owners and players than him. Board did mostly fuck all to replace everyone we lost due to sales and injuries, and outside of a few players, most look like they can't be bothered to put in a shift.
I don't really understand the animosity and vitrol towards Frank, especially after what we dealt with from the fat Aussie prick for two seasons. I imagine it has to be coming from people who need a new target after Levy left and those still asspained about Ange being sacked.
Yep. He's out of his depth, the scrutiny and expectation at our asylum is not coasting along at a very well run club with no real pressure. Brentford go on a run like ours its no big deal. He doesnt have the gravitas to take on our ego ridden, limited squad. He probably knows it himself now. Knows its too big for him. Just the usual dance off waiting for compensation.
Future in the balance is the word.
Gold only ever breaks news we never want to hear.
Google 'loud boos for thomas frank' clip should appear.
If you post them here you'll get a lot of likes! *wink*
Man, I have no idea at this point. He's obviously a quality manager given the trophies he's won at Palace and Frankfurt, and his tactics would suit our squad, but would he be able to whip them into shape? He's clearly not happy with Palace hanging him out to dry this summer, so what's he going to do when our clueless management does the same?
I think our only hope is appointing someone like Rangnick who can overhaul the footballing side of the club and orchestrate a mass cleanout of the rot.
Another one:
We must be the only team in the world that defends these shots from 15-30 yards in this highly conservative manner where, instead of rushing at the opponent to narrow his shooting angle as soon as they see him lining up for a shot, players stay glued to their spots and wait for the shot to bounce off of them.
This could be the weirdest quirk a Spurs manager has ever had. I'm more amused than annoyed at this stage.
