I've been thinking about this, and with zero evidence to back it up, I do wonder about the pitch we play on and it not being on deep proper ground? Does energy not dissipate properly? I dunno, just a hypothesis, but there is something more than bad luck going on here.
Years of poor squad building and relying on crocked players. Player A gets a bad injury, Player B gets ran into the ground an becomes injury prone, by the time Player A returns Player B is fucked etc.
We knew Maddison, Kulusevski and Dragusin were fucked coming into the season. We knew Solanke was injured. We knew Udogie was injury prone. We knew Ben Davies was finished. Yet we didn't bother revitalising the squad adequately to deal with that.
By the sounds of it, Frank gone.
WOW. They analysed in REAL detail.
With that due diligence, what could possibly go wrong.

- Never won a trophy
- Never managed in Europe
- Plays defensive, low possession football
- A win % of 35.5% at Brentford in the EPL
Solanke - We signed Tel and RKM
Madission - We signed Xavi
Kulu - We signed Kudus
Dragusin - We signed Danso
Not signing any full backs was ridiculous, especially given Porro being overplayed and Udogie always getting injured.
Cheap Cheap Cheap. Like a budgie. That’s why we got him.
Data be dammed. Glory comes from chaos. Flair from imagination, not a Computer.
We'll see, I guess.
Win / lose. Play / don’t play. You still have the same world class facilities and all the lovely trappings. Nothing is actually earned at Spurs.
We didn’t know how to handle world class facilities and we don’t know how to follow up on a cup win. Terrible shame really.
All too nice. All too passive. No jeopardy at all until now.
I agree totally but Alasdair Gold announced about three weeks ago after the West Ham match, the Lewis Family want to buck the trend of sacking managers. So I assume they're going to keep Frank until they feel they need to stop being stubborn about sacking the manager and go against their intent. Maybe it's reached that point now. it's becoming a big gamble to stick with Frank. They'll probably need to get an interim manager, then a full time manager next season. Effectively having two more managers but they intended to buck that trend (as Gold put it).

I’m all for keeping a manager as long as possible , I hate the modern game impatience . I know he has a lot of injuries and a lot of bang average players that have been given to him, but if we do not replace now, we are getting relegated. Even if it’s just a short burst of energy and injection just to keep us up untill the summer it’s got to be worth it. Anybody that can kick these players up the arse and get something out of them to guarantee us safety . Someone with experience . Anybody just do it now .
It’s not about style of play now , it’s 3 points at any cost to stay up

Interesting, and Alastair Gold in the same sentence, is really, quite something.There's some interesting quotes from Alasdair Gold on this webpage.
Such as;
Reporting on the situation, Gold told his YouTube channel: “The Lewis family, they’ve wanted to buck the trend at Tottenham of having this wheel of doom, which exists at Tottenham with sacked managers, new players having to be bought for them, rebuild, just frustration pretty much constantly at Tottenham.
The Lewis Family must make Thomas Frank decision at Tottenham they wanted to avoid
❌ The Lewis Family didn't want to make this decision...www.thespurs.news
I think this was said about 3 weeks ago after the West Ham match. It says to me that even if our Gooner CEO wants to sack Frank, he's going to have to get permission from the Lewis Family.

Apparently ENIC had been watching him for years behind the scenes. This worries me for two reasons. Number one is we tend to sign managers and players way too late after no one else wants them and/or after they have rejected us. Number two is our recruitment analysis has been relegation quality for the past decade, and replacing the chairman/CEO hasn't solved anything.
