Never played the game either. Blokes an imposter

The hypocrisy is crazy really.
If you talk about the EL final in any form of reality, you'll get the ange trophy emoji and abuse, but the same people will be saying the guy who scored the goal is shit and can't wait for him to go, our top scorer is a donkey and should be sold etc.
This is the thing isn’t it , I just don’t see it with him and the way he keeps insulting sections of our fan base is making me dislike him , the cunt getting paid millions per year to have us playing eye gouging football is taking a pop at fans paying a small fortune to have the displeasure of watching us!
I don't mind discussing his future, it's absolutely valid to considering our results and performances I just can't be arsed when it descends to playing the man not the ball.

Don't get me wrong I love the cunt offs between us all on here, but thats different.
He's still here then?
Completely agree except to point out that there's a fair few of us that not only refuse to personally abuse Frank just like we didn't with Ange (or any other previous managers/players FWIW) but also predicted this would happen. From November:
A fair amount of the fanbase just turns on any manager we have. Frank was unlucky to have very little leeway too.
It’s a bit different. I’ve not yet noticed Frank being called a skinny Danish cunt. The odd post about having big ears or being a gum chewer. Not getting involved in that myself.
I just have a dislike of him as I believe him to be bereft of personality, in a job that is massively above him. He’s spoiling my enjoyment of watching us. So I want him gone. I don’t really care what nationality he is, or what shape his body is.
On the flip side, if Ange had came out with the quotes about the fans that Frank is, this place would be on fire. But it appears to be not that bad this time. Hypocrisy is a standard on here.
Thomas Frank chose to insult the THFC supporters, on a personal level, when he questioned their loyalty.
He does not deserve any concessions from us.
He has lost the right to expect respect.
He needs to prove himself as a credible THFC manager.
Being critical of his own club's supporters undermines that credibility.
We all need help at times.
He will not get it now from a section of THFC supporters.
THFC supporters are among the most loyal in the country.
Anyone who has travellled away with Spurs or followed England knows this truth.
We don't need lessons in loyalty from Brentford's old manager whose set piece coach is currently doing a better job than he did with less able players.
Insulting, really? I think that’s a stretch. He’s not offered any of them out for a fight or cupped his ear to them or accused us of wanting to lose matches (then going on to admit he wasn’t trying as hard as he could to win them).
Until he does anything like that I’m pretty far from being insulted by him. He’s said in a round about way that the atmosphere at the ground is shit. Well, I’ve seen loads of people line up on here to slag us off who go to games that we aren’t real fans when we’ve booed, because we are the only ones demanding more from the players, managers and owners. He’s not wrong, it is shit. But maybe if the players played better it wouldn’t be. That’s on them to not be such soft cocks and actually man up and perform and live up to million that we pay them to play the game to a better standard. There’s some absolute fucking pussies associated with this football club and I include a section of our fanbase in that.
When Thomas Frank found out what the players planned to do, in respect of ignoring the home fans after matches and walking off the pitch together; what should he have done?
Congratulated them and encouraged them publicly, on their mutiny against the supporters, or reminded them of who it is they are representing every time they walk out on to a football pitch, anywhere in the world, playing for THFC?
For me it is either a deliberate attempt to alienate legacy supporters, who have followed the club, through thick and thin, as well as ENIC's 25 year masquerade as a top club ownership group, or it is stupidity on a level never seen at our club.
Our club.
Please keep saying this.
Not falling out with his players would probably be a good idea!
I hadn’t even noticed them doing it until it was pointed out in the media. They’re a bunch of fucking cry babies who can’t handle criticism or pressure. Imagine if any of them had anything about them? I guarantee we wouldn’t be as shit as we are if they had an ounce of personality.
Nobody is trying to alienate anyone, I think you’re just looking for something to beat an underperforming manager with.
Well that was absolutely true wasn't it. Must've been quite a culture shock for someone not steeped in our rivalry, and unfortunate super rare circumstance around the city game.
There's a definitely a difference between wanting to win at home to try and get a champions league qualification to going half arsed in games because the only chance of success is going for one of the cups instead of through the league (whether we agree with that approach or not)
I think Frank like Ange has been getting more and more prickly as time has gone on. If he lasts as Long as ange I wouldn't be surprised if he had similar outbursts tbh
They both were/ are really struggling with supporter frustration and anger
I want Spurs to win games of football.
I want Spurs to entertain while they are attempting to win games of football.
I've seen several terrible managers at Spurs.
I've seen hundreds of terrible footballers at Spurs.
No manager, of any organisation, would support their players, (staff), in a mutiny against the supporters, (customers), and not expect there to be drastic consequences for those actions.
How would Alex Ferguson have dealt with that situation once he understood what was planned?
Or Bill Nicholson?
Or Keith Burkinshaw?
Or Harry Redknapp?
Come off it.
This isn't about me.
Thomas Frank is in a huge hole and he keeps digging himself in deeper and deeper for reasons which are less than obvious to me.
I have seen the term 'Gargoyle' mentioned once or twice
Well, this is awkward
But seriously (as I know that was sarcastic), if you search for "floppy" you'll see plenty of posts about his hair, general appearance.
"skinny" isn't typically an insult, so of course that isn't brought up, but "teach" can't seem to help himself and no one's taken exception to it that I've seen
hopefully the gargoyles last game coming up
though, for balance
Wasn't "the supporters" on a whole though, was it? He was talking about the ones booing Vicario during the match
I am Spartacus.
