Management Thomas Frank

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Nah mate, I said no manager survives 22 losses.

I have 2 issues here:

1. the gross misrepresentation and lack of contextualising of his tenure from people with an agenda to be proven right no matter the facts,

2. the excuses already being lined up for Frank under-performing before a ball's even been kicked!
Your 1st 'issue'... From where I'm sitting, you're describing yourself.

It's YOU who's grossly misrepresenting Ange's tenure.
It's YOU who's creating a false context in order to paper over his severe failures.
It's YOU who has an agenda.
It's YOU who feels a such burning desire to be right that you continue to bleat on about Ange in the Thomas Frank thread.

Why can't you post your Ange stuff in the Ange thread?

THIS IS THE THOMAS FRANK THREAD
 
I’ve done the Thomas Frank rabbit hole on YouTube too and I have to say I’m very impressed.
Let’s hope the club backs him. I think he’ll do a good job in the PL with the current squad but not the CL.
What does Levy value more????
As sad as I am for Ange I’m very excited about Frank.

I think Ange had the potential to be a disaster this season - like 12 games with no "W" before being sacked, and all the good feels long gone.
 
That's like saying it took 41 seasons to see what Tottenham was made of. Its stupid because it doesn't take into account the totality of the period: Two seasons: one fifth league finish, one 17th, one Cup semi, One Europa Cup, One Champions League qualification.

Frank needs to be an upgrade otherwise what's the point?
He is if we finish top half. Under Ange we finished fourth from bottom.

Of course we're not winning champions league next season. It's a whole different thing from EL where you play AZ, Frankfurt, Bodo and this years version of Man U to win it.
 
Interesting Leverkusen wanted him


Towards the end of the season, it became clear Spurs had made Frank their top choice and that he wanted the role. Frank’s pre-existing relationship with Lange helped and Levy has been a big fan for some time. Lange was heavily involved but Levy drove the pursuit with Venkatesham. Conversations were held about the finances it would take to prise Frank and his staff out of Brentford before the season had finished. Bayer Leverkusen had been interested in Frank replacing the Real Madrid bound Xabi Alonso but the Dane wanted to stay in London.

I had him down for the BL job as soon as I heard Alonso was leaving. Was stunned we even had a chance.

I strongly disagree. He’s been proven to get results when he has and hasn’t had his first choice team.
I just thought he deserved the opportunity to start the season and take on CL. I mean he did earn that. Yes the league was shit, but for a reason.
 
Good luck Thomas. You’ll need it with the bald goblin and his hatchet squad.
Praying that he can get us back where we belong in the league and is given the tools for the job ahead.
I’ve a lot of time for Ange’s achievement getting that trophy money off our back.
Respect the past and have high expectations for the future.
Very optimistic for the coming season.

I thank Ange for the trophy - He deserves our appreciation.

But rightly or wrongly - he’s gone - what’s done is done - what he might have done next season or what he deserved has now become irrelevant. Time to move on …
