It's been that way for three years. Repeated injury crises could be due to Ange and Frank not conditioning them properly.

Yeah. Thats what I believe too.

Frank also had multiple injury crisis at Brentford. At the end of the day, they are managers that are responsible for the players. They both failed massively in this aspect.

Though, Ange dealt Frank a bad hand to begin with considering they had spent two years under Ange without proper conditioning or adequate resting/rotation.

New manager bounce
 
I know it takes more than two weeks to maybe work out a player's best position, but the way he set us up was so wrong, even I could see that. It will remain to be seen if he is willing or is able to be flexible. to suit the players he has at his disposal. The trouble is we don't have the time for him to come up to speed. Surely we would have been better to stick with Johnny Heitinga as the interim? At least he had a month to suss things out. Would have made more sense, IMO.

Trouble is Mrs P ,the powers that be don't do " sense "

They've shown that time and time again
 
Our next 3 games are
Palace H
Atletico A
Liverpool A

I think we'll lose against pool and Atletico so palace is absolutely massive. If we lose against palace I don't think he survives after Liverpool because that's an international break as that will be 5 defeats in a row.

Genuinely believe Thursdays game will decide whether hes still here after the international break.

Mired in a historically bad 2.5 year run and faced with relegation, hiring someone who had never played or managed in the PL, or England, just seemed like an obviously poor decision. And nothing as of yet changes that thinking.

ENIC's MO always seems to be eschewing conventional wisdom, habitually in pursuit of a cheap advantage from being a trendsetter rather than a follower. And habitually failing.

as long time spurs fan i would say we lose the palace game
then win vs atletico like 5 -0 ,get a win vs pool (were we see every pundit bitch about the ref after the win)
then lose the next game vs Atletico like 6-0 at home and lose 3 or 4 -0 vs forest at home

Would having played in England meant anything?

Tudor has played fireman at big clubs before and was willing to take the job on a short-term basis and totally ignore any thought of working toward a longer-term system or culture.

I'm not saying that's absolutely the profile that was needed, but it seems very understandable that that profile seemed fit for purpose.

That's part of the reason I wanted the interim to be someone who was a Spurs man at some point. I'm not joking when I'm saying the average fan can pick the team better. None of these managers, not even Mourinho, watched us closely enough before taking the job.

They say one thing before it and something else completely different in it.

Maybe ENIC were scarred from Mason, which was too soon, but Jol worked okay and I think the likes of Carrick or Robbie Keane or Ledley King get the idea of the PL and Spurs enough.

Even 'Arry understood all London football clubs enough to get it when he first came in.

I remember it took Poch a while to get it at the start.
