John, them players don't respect anyone but themselves. They wouldn't respect Pep, Carlo, Klopp, Enrique...anybody. Why? Cause they're major dickheads.

Arigo Saachi never has a football career neither did Nagelsmann, not sure Brendan Rodgers did either.
Love this!Wut!!!
Well if that transpires....Frank arriving at work Monday morning
Is the guy in the black golf shirt and baseball cap Lee Trevino?
I'm guessing the bloke that ends up in the drink is a disruptive fan?
Anymore info?
It wasn't the fact that you didHave I made the mistake again of discussing a Tottenham Hotspur manager on a Tottenham Hotspur Forum, in the manager thread?!
Need to stop doing that, don’t I.
You silly cunt.
It was the fact that you talked out of your arse, about things you have no comprehension of.
If anyone made a twat of themselves it was you. I just enjoyed pointing it out.

We may have the 9th highest turnover but we have massive debt. We also have stingy owners. There are at least 6 richer clubs than us in the PL. We should be cutting ticket prices to reflect this.
Had he been that articulate I'd have agreed with him, but he wasn't.
I didn't think Frank was the best choice either, but no matter who he's replaced with , they still have the same pool of players, and will be stuck with the same injuries, misfiring forwards and no effective or creativity based midfield.
We've played 4 (FOUR) through passes all season, at the same time we've managed to create the 2nd least amount of chances in the league, worse than Wolves, West Ham and Leeds.
That's not a player issue and I'm getting tired of people saying this crap, you're generally insulting your own intelligence to pin the majority of the blame on our players - 2 things can be true and I think a lot of our players are flawed but I expect a coach to set them up to get the best out of them, so far Frank hasn't done that and if he has it's not been anywhere near enough.
The vast majority of us really want this manager to succeed at this football club but he's not really giving us much to cling onto.
So it's not a player issue?
Interesting.
If it isn't the players running around on the pitch who can't do those things, then who is it, exactly, who are failing to see the passes, or failing to get into goalscoring positions, or kick the ball into the goal?
Ball Boys, stewards, press photographers - they are close to the pitch?
It ain't me whose intelligence is faulty.
It's not solely a player issue no.
And you're just being completely disingenuous if you're actually adamant that our players are incapable of playing a through pass or running into space, those stats are damming.
Unless you think we genuinely have a worse attack than Leeds, Wolves and West Ham on paper...if you do then it's probably not even worth carrying on with this conversation.

So basically he has the same background as Louis van Gaal (PE Teacher).
What's your point?
Our squad is top six in skillset, but relegation fodder in attitude. They are better than what they are showing. And due to that, the buck stops where it always does, with the manager.
I don’t think he’s sending them out to misplace passes, not track oppo players, to leave acres of space through the middle. But he’s also not showing signs of clamping down on that bullshit either.
He sorts it out and the new year could see us in a rather decent position. On the flip side, if he doesn’t, it’ll make last season look like a nineties rave.
It's still better credentials than AVB, which was essentially being Bobby Robson's neighbour.
Compared to last seasons 17th and 22 loses, it would be phenomenal.
So I don't get what the issue is, personally.
Just a matter of perspective, I guess.
It happens to all of them
They all fall victim to the Tottenham death star
'Phenomenal' when we finished 5th the season before, Good Lord.
Maybe this is what we deserve for appointing a kindergarten PE teacher as our manager / head coach
Doesn't matter where we finished last season. A club with our resources and fanbase should not be satisfied with finishing 8th, let alone consider it, and I quote "an excellent season"
No other Big 6 club would.
This is the kind of mentality this football club needs to get the fuck out.
Conte was right.
You enjoy that sort of thing? Says more about you than me, sir.
Bless you.
Top six?
All players fit and available at their peak form then yes.
Sadly not a position we seem to be in at the moment
Richie pretty much sums our players up, he can score Burnley and gooner goals or look like a drunk navvy after an all night session

Just wait until you find out what the Woolwich coach was doing before he got his job at the Emirates.
