It's another example of how Levy's bad critical thinking skills are.
And a worry that the other clowns who help choose him - are still around.

The smart move would be to get rid now - and get Xavi in.
To do that - they have to appreciate sunk costs bias.

There's the small matter of whether Xavi would even want to come to Spurs and I can't see why he would to be honest.

We sacked our last manager after he won us a major trophy and had us qualify for European competition in successive seasons.

We sacked our previous manager after he finished top 4 in his first season, and was looking on course to finish at least top 6 in his second.

The manager before that was sacked after just 10 league games despite still being in the top half of the table, and the manager before him was sacked just before a cup final.

Before that we sacked probably our best manager for 30 years just 12 games into the season, despite him getting us to our first ever Champions League final, a League cup semi final, and also finishing top 4 in the previous one.

Presumably we'll only be approaching Xavi after sacking Thomas Frank, despite him only being here for barely a third of a season, himself.

Why on earth would Xavi (or any other top manager) want to come to Tottenham, given our hiring and firing record over the last 10 years?

Another manager akin to Frank is probably the best we can expect. It's probably why he was hired in the first place. Despite all the bollocks about him being the best fit according to the data, the real reason is more than likely that nobody else half-decent even wanted the job.

Ange was never the answer.

He was part of the problem.

He had to take the job once he was offered it and probably agreed to every condition placed upon him by the miser to get his chance.

Spurs need someone who is available and will command the respect of the players.

Michael Carrick would be my pick for interim until the end of the season.

Frank has lost the respect of the players and now the supporters in 6 months.

I'm on board with Carrick. Won everything as a player. Didn't work out a Boro although it wasn't a horrible season. They missed the playoffs by 4 points. One win in their final six games killed them. But with that experience, and with better players he might be just what we need as an interim.

Anyone who wants Ange back is frankly deranged. Or on a wind-up.

Judging by punchy mcpunchys posts I’m going by the 3rd option of they could actually be Ange himself.

Hates levy. Wants to fight everyone.

" Away to Paris, that was a good performance. We lost both. We played Fulham where we were down 2-0 after six minutes. Especially in PSG and Fulham those were good performances."

How the fuck can any manager say the Fulham games was a good performance we had two shots on target, nothing showed we were giving it a go. We may have racked up the possession but that is because we gave Fulham two goals. Even the PSG performance was far from good it was an improvement.

Its very concerning when your manager is trying to find positives that do not exist.

Signs signify the end is arriving for Frank.

What a great summary. We've been sacking managers since 2019 because the team just keeps getting worse and the club and some supporters seem to be in complete denial that our players have also gotten much worse. There are people on here saying this is the strongest spurs squad EVER. In reality, it's probably the 7th best spurs squad in the past 7 years. It really doesn't matter if player #21 is stronger now than in 2019. This is probably the worst group of forwards we've had in 20 years. There are almost no current matchwinners in this squad. And our 2 closest are CBs.

Someone out there can definitely do better than what Frank is doing. But there's a good chance we can't get that someone and even if we could, we wouldn't select them.

Mate it's a Premier League club paying good money at a top 6 club, this job can attract a lot of managers.

Even if managers flop here they fall back on their feet anyway, it's not that deep - they'll just end up taking the money after they've been sacked whilst we pay them off, it's a win/win for them.
 
I did notice against PSG that the players attempted too many ambitious passes and almost all of them ended up out of play or back with PSG.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't, really.
