Need to give a new manager at least 3 transfer windows unless shit really is going south. You can't come on here and say most of the forward and midfield players are crap then say sack the manager.

Frank is a third of the way there. The score might have been 1-0 but we were pummelled by the Chavs. Almost certain he'll be two thirds of the way there after the international break which just leaves Palace on 28th Dec.The fact that Conte's shadow was lurking had little to do with people's strong desire to see the back of Nuno. That 3 game spell where we got pummeled by Palace, Chelsea and Woolwich was more than enough for him to exhaust whatever goodwill fans had previously had. And by the time he got sacked there was nothing salvageable about the whole situation.
So the fact that there's no serial winner waiting around the corner this time should have no bearing on people's judgment regarding Frank. Besides, this But who can replace him?? There's no one better!! is one of the dumbest arguments to defend the status quo anyway, and one that was also being made 12 months ago. I thought people would've learned.
It's definitely frowned upon and seen as way too premature to be drawing conclusions. Any new manager worth their salt should really be allowed to have at least 20 games before any sort of judgements can be seen as holding water. Man needs time to stamp his style into their thick skulls, innit.There was a Nuno out thread by the end of September during his short time in charge.
And people wanted him gone!!! He was toast after the Woolwich game with a good proportion of people on here. Took another month but 3-0 at the emirates seemed to be the final straw.
So that was my inspiration for this thread. As it seems voices against Frank are rising.
It is taboo to shout “Frank out!!” Are you in the bin if you holler “Frank In”???
Fuck knows.
I say give him time but I’m very interested to see what the rest of the people are saying. Few loud voices shouting out? Or is the forthcoming Woolwich match going to change people’s minds??
Have you seen February's run? Oh Lord.Frank is a third of the way there. The score might have been 1-0 but we were pummelled but the Chavs. Almost certain he'll be two thirds of the way there after the international break which just leaves Palace on 28th Dec.
Neither is one loud supporter. As of now, 1 of 39 votes is Frank Out.A manager isn't bigger than the club. Think a few of you need to remember that.
If you can't see why anyone would be moaning either, says a lot about what goes on between those ears of yours.
People like you who get upset, protecting a manager that has done nothing to suggest he's a good fit are the people who are Pathetic and entitled. Eye test says we're shit. Stats say we're shit.
I just don't get it.

I think its modern day tactics. You are tactically far better off if the other team press you and have more of the ball than you.
So its actually a lot easier to tactically set your team up when your someone like Brentford and every team in the league presses you. Frank needs to adapt and find a solution but it looks to be a modern day craze. Long throw ins are back. sitting deep and having a low block is easier to coach than having the ball and finding solutions to break down a low block. All data analytics is moving modern day coaching into this defensive shape where you wait for the other team to take the risks while you take none.
Imagine the likes of Brentford are just benefitting from how teams approach them. If they actually become a decent team then they'll come unstuck and have the same issue we are having where teams are sitting against them and refusing to take any risks.
I don't go around insulting people and telling them they're "fake fans" or whatever it is.Neither is one loud supporter. As of now, 1 of 39 votes is Frank Out.
That’s what we call the village idiot.
And yet you are on here arguing the same tiring nonsense day after day, page after page. No one wants to interact with someone as stubborn as a brick wall.
Frank may end up failing and based on past managers it’s more likely than not. But that doesn’t make you right because firing him at this moment would be idiotic based on where the club was last season and where the current squad is at.
We are tired of your daily drivel.
Sounds like a normal day at Tottenham Hotspur.So the club employed a bloke who's an expert at sitting deep, and done relatively well at Brentford doing so, and have asked him to stop sitting deep, even though we employed him after being relatively successful in doing so, he doesn't have much of a CV in senior level football beyond Brentford.
Now there's a chance of the new manager at Brentford whose team is sitting deep, could surpass our team in the league with our sitting deep manager, not sitting deep.
Is that it?
Well, thanks for that. Sums this place up. Unable to criticize someone, justifiably, because they're blinkered by the fact he's out coach. Yeah, Frank's not great, but he's fine, and that's okay because that's good enough for us.Chameleons mate.
They know who they are or maybe they don't.
Nobody is saying Frank is the bees knees, but the lack of balance and perspective is akin to what rogue foreign countries do when sullying the minds with their interference.
It's getting to the point where it is a waste of energy because nothing other than sacking Frank will appease these wasters.
Symptomatic of the ills of the country in many respects. Got no real idea what they want but want it now.
