I honestly thought he'd do okay when he arrived, get us organised, flexible, not neglect defence and set-pieces, etc, etc.

Man, has he been disappointing thus far. Likeable chap but he's just out of his depth and simply isn't used to managing a club of this size. Just a matter of time before he's gone.

It’s also one of the harder jobs in football because our recruiting is a mess.
 
Blame the players as you like. But remember, these are PROFESSIONAL football players. They spent their childhood, youth, and now adulthood player, eating, drinking, football. They don't get to this level playing at one of the top leagues for being sh!t. Even as much as I despise Richarlison, he is, compared to the average joe, is elite at few things.
These players are taught from a young age how to pass, and run, how to receive the ball, how to form triangles and squares, how to see spaces, and use spaces. These are the basics in today's football and all current pro football players are taught that.
That's why you see even mediocre teams play well if they get a competent manager (the sunderlands, BHAs, Brenfords, CPS, etc.). Today's players are robots they execute what the manager trains them and tells them to do. On game day, when the plan that the manager draws is not working, they do not know what do to. they look poor.
The reason the players look poor at Tottenham is because the manager's plan or tactics are not working, they do not know how to handle the movement of the opposition. Their manager told them this and that, but on the pitch they see something else. Look how Bournmouth players looks so drilled, know what the plan, see that what their manager is saying mostly happens. Our manager on the other hand has nothing going. Our players look lost, what he tells them does not happen.

A life-long mediocre manager, who spent his whole career at a low level, is not going to know how to coach at the elite level, he does not know it, he's never been their. He who doesn't have it, cannot give it.

I want him sacked, but as long as we have these LOSER owners, nothing is going to happen. It starts there.

They could quite easily pin his appointment on Levy and sack him.

They have to get rid, this is going absolutely nowhere. We’ve known that for months. Get a caretaker in till the summer, I have no idea who, but he can’t be back in a Tottenham dugout for our next game.

Seems to have had Vinai's mits on it more than Levy. It's a new process after 25 years.

I first raised my big concerns against Villarreal. Worried about how just awful we looked all over the pitch. Didn't see things getting better and they never did. A few very lucky wins clouded people's opinions massively. The abuse I got for daring to question him was wild. It's been comical.
 
Frank picked approx the right side. But he had Berg on the right instead of Oddjob.
A bit like when I complained to the hospital when they sent me the wrong phone number and the woman said there was only one number that was wrong.
And now rushed back from injury Bergs probs has a long term injury just like Solanke.
 
He was asked about the cup in the press conference

I definitely did not notice it. It would be completely stupid of me to take it if I knew.

It's a little bit sad in football that I need to be asked about it. I would never do something that stupid.

The manager’s plans and tactics stop them making a simple 5 yard pass?

Bullshit!

You don’t need an elite coach to do that!
