If Frank was the symptoms these two numb skulls are the disease.
Mourinho with the trophies, the aura, the respect and the prestige.
Mourinho from Wish.
We've tried managers that kick ass.. Mourinho and Conte. Our players don't respond well to it. They are pampered fucks.
You can get fucked with this kind of shit, Stoke City on roids might be top of the League but don't revere them in this manner.
They're awful, they're just quite proficient at that awfulness.
But yes, regards to the main point, they've wasted a bunch of reasonable fixtures for a new manager to pick up some steam and now whoever the lucky fella is will be lumbered with a tough set of fixtures. Typical Spurs really, there should be a word for that...
Managers are egos
They need to believe they are the main man, the beating heart, and everything goes through them
De Zerbi is a big ego even by these standards, he is never taking a short term job like this, he'll sit out until someone offers him a big deal
It works for the like of Carrick, lower level managers putting themselves in the shop window, not the like of De Zerbi
Might be less empty seats in the ground, too.She'd stiffen up the back 4 at least...
I dunno where they got 59k from last night. Swathes of empty seats everywhere I looked.
We've tried every single type of manager there is. We've exhausted every single avenue.
I cheered in a Teams call. It is now in the minutes
"Thomas Frank sacked! thank fuuuuuuuck! Cheering and other noises"
Ange was shit.
So was Frank.
It's that simple
Ange DID NOT WIN the Europa League.
The team won it playing Anti-Angeball.
Was obvious he’d lost the dressing room and the players didn’t believe in what they were being asked to do
Only Spurs could win a European trophy, sack the guy who got it, then hire someone hopelessly unsuited before sacking him after less than a season, then win the Champions League
Fixed
I got a text and stopped the people in the call while I read it.
Then did this
Didn't look half as good, mind.
Truly he was, the Emerson Royal of Head Coaches...The Club has taken the decision to make a change in the Men’s Head Coach position and Thomas Frank will leave today.
Thomas was appointed in June 2025, and we have been determined to give him the time and support needed to build for the future together.
However, results and performances have led the Board to conclude that a change at this point in the season is necessary.
Throughout his time at the Club, Thomas has conducted himself with unwavering commitment, giving everything in his efforts to move the Club forward. We would like to thank him for his contribution and wish him every success in the future.
Thats it. The best they can say is he worked hard. We know he worked hard, he kept telling us
Why no comment about what a great guy he was round the lunch table, how all the layers were going well or how aligned they were on his leaving?
The whole league is awful, been saying it all season, and yes they are a Spicy Stoke but lets not pretend they aren't the best team in it. Thats just insulting everyones intelligence.
As it stands the only thing that is stopping them is their own arses twitching. Which is what we are all praying for.
I'm just saying that this is the worst game to pick to try and get a new manager bounce.
Man Utd would have been a good pick, last night would have been a good pick. But we choose the team who are utterly consistent.
Like everything at this club we always manage to make the wrong decision and the timing is always shit.
We could bring in a 20 year old Latvian ex model, hooker.... we haven't tried that yet.
It had to happen - but lets not delude ourselves that Frank was the only issue. We have neen enduring a perfect storm of :
Chronic underinvestment in the playing staff - over a significant period.
Crippling injuries - involving long term injuries to key players
Highly questionable tecruitment - value for money notable by its absence
Lack of form on the part of key players
Disjunction between the fans and the players
Lack of leaders through the team - ie willing to sweat blood for the shirt and able to take charge on tje field
Abject failure to nurture home grown talent.
A frankly bizarre transfer window in the face of overwheming need to bring in more bodies
Just my opinion - but if Im right - its going to take a long time to fix - even more so if we drop.

Always love how these reports remain hidden all year and then come out the moment the manager is sacked. "Actually, he had lost them months ago!"
Ignoring how we would have been in this spot last year had all of the promoted clubs not been historically bad.
