When you listen or read his quotes sometimes, you feel he is just enjoying the big stage the Tottenham offers him and exposure more than what he is actually supposed to do.

There’s nothing naive on my part I just think we need to stick rather than constantly twist, when twisting every 18months as we have done since Poch has improved nothing!
I hated Cunte come the end and his parting diatribe was purposely done in public to extricate himself from his contract, but there was also a lot of truth in what he said about the club and the way it has been run.
‘Front foot attacking with through balls behind defenders’ is never going to happen when you’re reliant on dross like Bentancur to play them and if you do you’ve got first touch of a lamppost Richy receiving them!
Watch what happens if you get your wish and Frank is jettisoned! After any initial new manager bounce we’ll be back in exactly the same place if there isn’t significant surgery on the squad.
Chaos munchers? Fuck me sorry for expecting Spurs to beat Sunderland at home and wanting a manager gone that continually sets up not to get beaten.
Fuck this. He hasn’t had the full squad to pick from, it’s true but he has served up nothing that suggests if they had been available he would have done things differently. Nothing. And that isn’t good enough for me and it certainly isn’t good enough for Spurs.
No information or idea whatsoever about an injury that’s being assessed a dealt with since we played PSG before please.
He had a reputation at Brentford for not liking to engage in enquiries about injured players. As if by royal decree only when he decides to reveal. We ain’t the grateful Brentford faithful. So yeah that annoys me no end
If they are dreadful then how do you describe what we are watching under Frank
Ive given him loads of shit these last few weeks
I wont hold this against him though.
It probably is boring to keep getting asked about injured players, perfectly fair to say "when theres something to say Ill tell you"
And sports journalists are almost all cunts, so fuck them
I thought Ange had a healthy disdain for them for a good while. Went to far in the end when he lost his head, but early days I was loving how he spoke to them
What an utter tool he is... didn't think I could hate anyone this much...
Yeah but...
At least fatty wanted to play attacking brave football, the problem was that his style was kamikaze and not sustainable.
Frank wants to bore everyone to death and we are still shite
To dare is not to do.
Oh yeah, we won this game 0-2 last season
oh right, it would of been exactly the same then.

Too right fuck the journalist (most of them at least) a realistic timeline for his progress would kill the enquiries. After PSG it was minor, then he’s managing it training, then he’s undergone surgery and would be back after the international break, then complete silence, then he can’t say anything, then he says after the international (the 2nd one) then he’s training on the grass, then nothing, then some cryptic social post from Solanke himself etc etc
There are no reoccurring enquiries for Dragusin, Maddison or Kulu because it was clear this is the issue and this is the timeline
With Dom it’s some arbitrary ankle problem where apparently he can’t even be seen. That’s a pisstake
are you thick? have you not watched VDV with the middle aged white man? VDV confirmed what anyone with half a brain cell thought, the players won that europa by going against what postecoglou wanted! keep up boy! youre looking stupid.Yeah but...

You and I spent most of last season making the “stick don’t twist” argument for Postecoglu. But I’m seeing nothing this time to give Frank any rope. Nothing at all.
Sticking is right when it’s the right guy. Whilst we were in Europe last season and looking good to win it, we had to stick. This season is fucked already. Quicker we accept that the better.
When the Fighting Cock poll goes past 50% I think the trigger gets pulled.
That must be what they're waiting for. ....Has to be

It's just part of the overall vibe. I don't think an objective read of his pressers would show anything "bad" or "out of touch" or "deluded" - that's just stuff fans project because they don't like what's happening on field.
He's under pressure. Handling it better than the last guy (so far) imo
Exactly.
You stick when the right man is in there.
If you dont have the right man sticking is just digging a deeper hole.
If the underlying work is coming through, if the team is improving (even if not results) then stick, 100%, absolutely.
Frank isnt that guy, for me
You have to earn the right to continue.
It’s been months. We should see patterns of play emerging. Tactics being implemented. However what we see is a continuing decline in our ability to play football. Lowest amount of through balls, no shots from distance, barely a shot on target as the man in charge is so obsessed with stats he only wants us to cross. Flip that round, and we continually conceded from range as statistically those shots are less likely to go in. However all of that understanding misses the actual context of football.
We then get the pleasure of being told we will lose games and that’s ok. Small time manager, focussed on the wrong things, with a squad and fan base who clearly do not believe in him. He needs to go ASAP.
