I mean, we don’t know he can’t coach it but it did highlight exactly how bad the plan before that was for this squad.

Out of nowhere, Tel, Odobert, Xavi, even Muani looked on it. Gray and Palinha overrunning their midfield…

We were still very lucky not to concede a 3rd on the break though. Porro off the line etc

Those players are all talented if a bit young and rough around the edges but none of them are Moyes or Arteta type players except Palhinha and Frank’s style is similar.

Those players are mostly chaos merchants who would thrives under Klopp.

Everything with us comes back to square pegs round holes. Managers and player don’t align and players are a mix. We don’t have strategy.
 
Why not give the new coach those 2 as less brutal start than the games that come after?
It feels like it's going to be this weird situation that clubs let themselves get in. Where those upstairs know he's probably not the guy they have full faith in, and are waiting for a moment to sack him. But he picks up wins with an awkward frequency as far as they're concerned. Never quite the long enough winless run that they're waiting for, for them to feel brave enough pulling the trigger.
 
Everything is reactive with this manager, nothing is on the front foot hence why the 2nd half performance today was a nothing to lose scenario but it's too little too late.

He's not good enough to manage at a club like ours because the expectations are that we need to be on the front foot from the off, his gameplan is to react to the opposition not to take the game to them, you cant do that at a big 6 team, it doesnt work.

Frank just doesn't suit this club, everything about him just doesn't represent Tottenham in any way shape of form, it's time to go.
 
This group of players have largely had two managers, Ange and Frank and they are both fucking shite.

We need to hire the right manager. Just look at the same players under Gerrard and Emery

Well, there lies the problem. I honestly dread who they will go for next because I guarantee it will be the wrong choice. I don’t believe either of Ange are terrible managers, just ones with huge flaws. They can’t be terrible or they wouldn’t have had the successes they have. Despite my complaints about both!
 
This is stupid but we might as well give Ange a call, get him in for the rest of the season. Sell it as “Levy is gone, prove the bald cunt wrong for getting rid”.

Offer him and every player an additional £5m bonus for winning the Champions League.

We sure as fuck aren’t winning anything with Frank in charge. Might as well remove any remaining illusions that we’re a serious club and try something extreme.

Get Ange back to work with Frank, joint managers

Between ones ultra gung ho style and ones ultra never go style they'll strike a perfect balance and we'll win all the games
 
The season is over, it really doesn't matter now. The club needs to spend the next few months identifying the next mug manager and get him once the season ends in May.

I’ve gone. Changed my mind. A part of a half every now and then isn’t good enough. If I could see what he was trying to do to try to win games I’d be up for giving more time. But I can’t.
