Manager Thomas Frank

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
His comments last night was the final nail in the coffin for me. I want him gone but I can accept hes had a tough start due to important players getting injured and the summer signings were acts of desperation except kudus.
Shite under ange and now frank. Players stopped playing for top coaches like jose and conte and they were never truly backed. Like I said the people running the club have ruined it since the poch left.
We can change manager yet again (and I'm really tempted to pull that trigger) but until we get the answer as to how Spurs consistently assemble squads with incredibly poor mentality then history will simply repeat itself. Over the last 10 or so years we have tried every single kind of manager. The situation needs more than bringing a new bloke in.
Maybe don't start 7 defensive players then you Mug!!!
( Him not you)
Pretty much where i'm at. You can sort of see the point that we are keeping things tight as we are so devoid in the front 4 and even passers in central midfield. This team is not capable of scoring 2 or 3 against all but the real dregs. But we're showing nothing, this is George Graham level stuff, only not as strong defensively. I just cant see, even with better players that we will be competitive under this manager in 12 months time so whats the point? To me it now feels like he's a caretaker manager and we're just waiting for something to happen. Have to say though whoever comes in is still going to need to clearout pretty much every attacking player we have as they wouldnt attract interest from any top 8 side.

Chaos munchers? Harsh.
I want him gone today. I think he’s useless. Doesn’t mean I want chaos. I’ve spent years on here defending managers until the death, did it with the last guy too. Stability is the way forward and that’s been proven over and over again. Disregarding Chelsea, every other successful side has had stability.
But it has to be with someone who shows something. Anything. Any improvement. And having more clean sheets and conceding a few less goals with a pretty consistently fit back five and a DM in front of them isn’t enough.
Sunderland have lost half their team to AFCON. we shouldn’t be considering not beating them, but are almost expecting defeat. It’s not good enough man.
He needs to go. And quickly. If it causes chaos, so be it, but it’ll also cause hope. I have none of that right now.
The last sentence is spot on... give me hope and chaos over what we have right now...
That is a really simple question... I am surprised you don't know the answer...

This whole "7 defensive players" thing doesn't even make sense though.
Most, if not all, of that back four are not really 'defensive players'. No one would bat an eye if micky or romero were in a midfield position.
It seems to be more of an argument about CM, but Sarr is away, Bergvall had a knock, Xavi is banned. Who else is going to play there?
Gray was basically playing AM, so it's not like we set up with 3 DMs

Spurs: Were in an utter shambles under Ange. Just a different shambles now.
Brentford: Lost their three best players and have a complete rookie manager, doing just as well as with Frank.
Lets no pretend Spurs are any better off with Frank in, or Brentford are any worse off without him

I just took a browse through the early pages of the various Frank threads The amount of people that convinced themselves that this was a good appointment is staggering beyond belief.
It was clear and obvious from day 1 that Thomas Frank was as uninspiring, anti-Spurs. anti-ambition as you could get.
Nuno without the beard.
Really, guys. You'd all save yourselves a lot of pain and u-turning if you just listened to John more often.

What about Maresca? Guy did a good job at chelsea
Well, there’s nobody out there right now worth changing for. In the summer sure. But giving a new bloke a three year contract now means we miss out on better managers then. But you know that, and I suspect the club does too, and that’s why nothing will happen till then.
Have you read why he left? You won’t be thinking the same afterwards.

I dont put any great stock in indykaila
This would please half the board no doubt
I think its a terrible thing for a club to effectively write off a season
I hope he is backed in Jan as long as recruitment don't again fuck things up. We desperately need better players irrespective of who the coach is. The whole "wrong players" thing is generally overdone. If he gets top 8 then IMO he deserves another season, but if not, sack him in the summer (assuming we don't somehow win a cup).
