Blaming Frank for someone else struggling with a terrible addiction is peak twitter coys stuff. Is he a psychiatrist? Can he cure players' physical ailments as well as their mental ones? Perhaps we should have Frank in then, so all our hamstrings heal whenever someone touches the hem of his garment?

He wasn't passing out betting slips ffs

Do you know how gambling addiction works?

Jose being the manager wouldn’t have made one jot of difference.
Yes, and I'm dubious that Toney had an addiction. I think it was portrayed that way for a reduction in the ban. 232 bets over 4 years is not an addiction. I probably do that in a month... just placed my next PL manager to be sacked bet on Frank... but I do think players respond differently to managers with pedigree.
 
i don't care about your offence and you don't intimidate me.

I'm conflating Ange out with the English far right (becoming the English majority) with good reason. As an observer from an enlightened vantage point I can see a trend of stupidity in England, similar to that in the US, where the average citizen lack critical thinking capacity. This leads to self harming beliefs.
Not far right... Just Right
 
Thankful for having Ange deliver us a trophy as he promised. Incredible run to the final, then watching us finally get it over the line.

Also those first 10 league games was the best football I have seen us ever play. It's a shame it got found out so quickly and we had no alternative.

We have been playing poor football for the best part of 2 seasons, with a league record that in other years could have put us into a relegation battle.

It's a tough decision. I feel he had to be replaced. Ultimately he will be remembered as a european winner with Spurs. Not as the 4th worst team in the Premier League.

He most likely didn't even know...

It's great to see that we've all come together in this moment and allowed healing and reconciliation to guide our paths forward 😍
 
I’m forever grateful to him for ending our trophy drought and wish him well for the future. No hard feelings.

The decision to sack him was the right one and it would have been a serious mistake to give him longer in my opinion. The 78 points from 66 games was shockingly bad whatever way it’s sliced up. However, the stand out for me across so many games was the number of times we looked like a side that simply wasn’t coached. It just happened too often. Injuries or not, whatever team we put out (at this level) should look like they have been drilled, coached and have a full understanding of their roles and what is expected. Of course, youth, inexperience and ability all come into play, but the team should at least look like it has been coached.
Good to read a proper post of non extremities on either side of the fence with no insults and name-callings.
