What makes it even funnier is some of them are calling for Iraola. A manager who didn't get a win until his 10th league game, and was given the time to implement his ways, and are now seeing the rewards. The same as Woolwich with Legohead. Even Fergie had a very rough start at Man Utd.

I'm not comparing Frank to any of them, but 95% of managers needs time to get their ways across. Those that hit the ground running usually end up struggling a lot later down the line, and there is plenty of proof in that.

A manager, who i might add, also runs his teams into the ground....... They had a lot of injury issues and trailed off quite a lot in the second half of the season last year - they won 4 of their last 15 games

Same people calling for Glasner who also had a shit start to his Palace career, both managers might I add had the benefit of playing 1 game a week with a load of training sessions I'm between to speed up their philosophies, Frank hasn't had this.

We just got load of impatient numpties in our fanbase who always pledge to give managers time yet when it comes down to it abandon ship the moment we hit a rough patch.
 
Well obviously none of our current players are as good as peak Dele, Eriksen, Kane, or Son.

Simons right now vs Eriksen at the same point of his Spurs career?
Son vs Odobert, or even Kudus depending on how you want to break this down?
Alli vs Bergval?
Kane's an odd one, because he came through the academy, after a few uninspiring loans maybe expectations weren't that high, once he made it into the first team though he pretty much hit the ground running. None of the current strikers are in any way a like for like comparison as they're at a totally different stage of their career, you can 99% guarantee that none of them will get anywhere near peak Kane at any point.

I don't think it's necessarily as clear cut as it seems, if we're fortunate, 12 months from now Kudus, Simons, Odobert, and whichever striker ends up winning the battle for that spot, could be tearing it up.
 
I suspect they are the same ones who want rid of Frank already.

I don’t know how many times he himself has publicly said that he isn’t happy with our attack and that we are missing all the players from last season who played there. It is almost like people aren’t based in reality that you can’t chuck a whole load of new players in a team and expect that they are gonna combine and bang in loads of goals. Even DESK took 6 to 9 months and we don’t have any players of that quality in the squad.
Your instincts are impeccable, sir.

They're like a disease.

They pile on Savva's streams -- and pollute social media, in general -- daily, slinging shit at Frank and still defending Ange and pining for him.

It's fascinating and disturbing to watch, in equal measures.

Weirdest phenomenon I've seen at the club.

Really is a cult.

Like, genuinely.

He's been calling them out and now just calls them "Ange fans" and not spurs fans.

Which is what they are.

*I've timestamped it where they start piling in and he gets into it with them, today, but it's worth listening from the beginning, as Savva has been on a rich vein of calling it all out and been doing a great job of highlighting just how irrational they are.

Nail on the head.

Impatient fuckers who act like a kid with a toy they don’t know how to use. I don’t know what they expect? Are we meant to be top and unbeaten?

I've been patiently waiting since the old stadium closed down and the game changer opened. We came 2nd in the PL in 2016-17 season and 3rd 2017-18 season, those positions haven't been improved on, or even matched.

Yep.

The stadium didn’t deliver anything other than bigger fees paid for average players (a couple aside). Hopefully the new look board will see that and use the money wiser.
 
Utter nonsense.

I'm going to ensure that anyone who is starting to talk about 'Frank Out' gets binned for life.

This is literally 'growing pains'. Frank has always started slowly at his clubs, including Brentford. Grow up and get some fucking patience.
You talk some shite mate.

Growing pains, nah this is terror ball. I don't remember the same compassion for Nuno, because he wasn't the hipster choice.
 
Give it a fucking rest.
We lost 22 games last season and were abysmal all over the pitch in almost every game.
We are nowhere near as bad as last season.
It's night and day and as literally everyone can see, there's a) room for improvement and b) important players ton return from injury.
Can we stop using last season as a barometer? That was an anomaly. Also, of you want to go down that road, injuries last season were miles worse than this. Is he a better manager than Ange, obviously. Feels like the wrong fit. Playing like Stoke every game is terrible. When we don't get a win on one of our next few games and we're lingering bottom half, the ambition here is well, it's better than 17th. Insane. Also spent £200m+ in the summer, said he sanctioned the Tel move. He's not the guy to lead us anywhere.

Night and day sure, we've gone from gung ho ball to terror ball. Somewhere in the middle would be fucking nice.
 
It’s alright “mate” . You’re not a spurs fan.

Feel free to get fucked.

Your kind aren’t welcome here.
