Are you an agent for obscure YouTube content makers because I keep clicking on these vids you post, watch a bit of generic platitudinous vague crap backed up with AI image slop then stop before I can die of boredom.

I know Frank is a decent coach as you should. None of the YouTube's you keep posting tell either of us any deeper or different

(apologies if you're posting in good faith I might be just being grumpy about YouTube)

You made it past the incredibly boring sounding man with a hat on indoors? Fair play.

Ffs - like a really great supposedly "unifying" post then the bit in bold.

You simply don't get more "substance" than a FUCKING EUROPEAN TROPHY.

So you've just laid a fucking ball and chain around Frank's neck for anyone to drown him with right out of the gate.

Can we just stop this ffs. Ange won us a massive trophy. Thank you. Now he's gone and we welcome Thomas Frank and give him our full support because that is what supporters are supposed to fucking do.

It really is as simple as that. Ffs

I didn't even mention Ange. So you've read into that with what you will. But if you like ...I was thrilled Postecoglu had the crescendo he did, and will never denegrate that. The finest night of my 30 years supporting Spurs.

I didn't set caveats for how Frank should be measured.

I believe he has more - in my view, which is the basis of an online forum; to express opinion - substance than many of our modern day managerial selections across the ENIC era.

It's as ifwe've had a post nut clarity

By Christmas - posters like you will be calling for his head

I don't think it occurs to him for a second that he was largely responsible for a lot of the toxicity - or that his posts invite the resentment that will bring unnecessary toxicity on Frank who deserves a clean fucking slate

Fair enough 👍

We will never fix that rift. I really never liked him.. I think you know this. The guy was marmite, then there was overwhelming consensus he sucked, then we won a one off game and it went back to a civil war.

I don’t think it goes away for another couple of appointments unless Frank is a tremendous success.

Exactly. 99% of the fans were ready to catapult Ange back to Scotland when the final whistle blew on Europa. But we win it on an OG without a shot in the match and all of a sudden he's bulletproof?

Everyone knew he sucked and no one was even attempting to defend him anymore until the final. He threw us a bone after serving up 2 years of gruel daily and people want to give him Michelin Guide stars

There's 200+ pages on Frank so far....so tell me how many of those posts adds a "deeper" dimension to your life :cool:
I did find that the videos have some info about Frank but, yes, they're not a Hollywood thriller or a David Attenborough documentary ...
 
This is the first manager I’ve gone on YouTube and watched a ton of stuff about. I’m actually very excited to see what Thomas can do with this squad. He also brought his coaches with him which will be key as well. So fucking pumped
 
met a Brentford supporter tonight … he’s not as high on Frank as everyone here. Kind of bizarre. Says his subs are crap and he loses all the time from winning positions because he’s scared of attacking. Apparently last year they led the PL in points dropped from a winning position. Sounds a lot like Mou

Wouldn't read too much into it, crap subs is an accusation that is levelled at every single manager under the sun, and we've seen the reverse side of the coin when it comes to going for a second goal or shoring up the lead under Ange. Not to mention Brentford fans will undoubtedly go through their scorned lover period with Frank before attitudes ease on him and they recognise him for all he did for them as a club.

Unfortunately, we topped the table the supporter references. 29 points dropped from winning positions (22 games led). Brentford 5th at 26 points dropped (26 games led).
 
Very bullish with this appointment.

The TFC Brains Trust has identified him as a superior tactician so that's good enough for me. He also has an excellent player platform to build on and make his own by adding experience and quality in those areas that we all agree we need to

No excuses to at least get a Europa league place finish in the league and a Cup along the way.

And it's not JUST Ange. Good work has been done by Levy/Lange/Paratici to continue turning over the squad, getting younger and with better characters in the dressing room, and just improving and modernizing the recruitment operation generally.

Ange benefitted from that stuff as surely as Frank will (the nadir of the squad was back with Nuno), but it was an unproven step into the unknown at the time he was taking over.

Spurs go into 25/26 stronger than they went into 23/24. That's categorically inarguable, beyond any rational debate.

It's only when you insert the name of the Bad Aussie Man that people go insane and start twisting any truth to fashion into a stick to beat him with.


"Mason disaster season" was what Tottenham Hotspur had become in that moment. There were no more false idol Conte's to paper over the rot that had been festering through the club since the Summer 2018 betrayal.

We didn't fill that hole in Bilbao. But we did at least stop digging.

Yep some already already laying the ground work to excuse the new manager if he under performs because Bad Aussie Man.
 
The first minute of play should be interesting. If I'm remembering correctly, didn't Brentford have a streak of three games where they scored inside the first two minutes? The idea they had was to treat the kickoff like a set piece and they worked hard on everyone knowing exactly what to do. What I don't remember is what happened afterwards. I suppose the league caught up to it.
 
I really do hate the state of football fandom nowadays where people seem to support the manager or players over the club. We are all spurs fans and the club comes above everything.

Ange is done, Frank is here. Don't wait for a shitty defeat to be all I told you so. You may be right and Frank is a dud . You may be wrong and he is a success. Either way he deserves the fans backing. Until he doesn't. Don't write the guy off before he's been in charge for one game ffs
