Another season gone, another pre season of managerial search again. We all fans wasted another year of our lives supporting a lost cause of a club.

For some sick reason, ENIC hates us winning a trophy to have fans flooding the streets. They almost prefer not to have it happen again. Bunch of business exec cunts.
I reckon they looked at the Clean up costs that Haringey Council sent them the following day and thought: nah, not worth it...
Prefer it when all the rich pricks in the exec boxes put their rubbish in the bins provided!

That, for people of a certain age is too much of a limited and valuable commodity to be tossing away!

Fucking Scrotum face Lewis *realised he would have to cut back on Asian Lady boys this year to pay fur it!

*Possibly, not even allegedly, totally un-truly! Don't sue Joe!

But you DO have a head like a Testicle, THAT much is true!
 
I will be genuinely surprised if he’s still the manager by Monday evening.

Dunno why I have it in my head we do such things after a weekend? Could be wrong, but a Sunday sacking doesn’t seem every Tottenham.
 
Sack him however Lange and Vinai also need the chop at the same time , as much as people hated Levy he would have made the call before now , it seems like since they got rid of Levy no one is really running the club…..
 


You don’t need ITK to know this is true.

Anyone who knows how football works can see that he’s in trouble.

If the players loved him as a gaffer then maybe they would be fighting for him but I’m not sure they are.

The difference with Ange is the media started asking the players if they were behind him and they told us every week that they were. The media are the ones behind Frank at this point.
 
I actually feel sorry for Frank. I can see he is doing his best. It was just a horrible appointment for both him and us. He inherited a screwed up, mis-managed squad, with major players missing long term thru injury, and a team in a death spiral form wise. Importantly, his ethos / approach is not aligned at all with the expectations of the fans. Whilst I'd rather this failed appointment ended as soon as possible, there were some green shoots of encouragement that he has to grasp should he cling on a little longer!

1. Do not play Spence at LB any more! Opponents can shut him down too easily and it ruins the balance of the entire side. Two games from Ben Davies has shown how much better a natural left footer is at LB for basic passages of play. In Frank's system the LB only has to get the ball from the LCB and pass it to the LWF. That is it. Spence cannot do that under any king if organised press. The LB pecking order should be Udogie > Davies > VDV / yoof. Rotate between Davies and Udogie to keep both fit.

2. Rotate Porro. This is linked to #1. Porro is in the middle of a big slump form-wise and has been for weeks/months. He is one of our best passers and free kick takers and yet is in horrible form. Play Spence for a coiupel of weeks to rest him.

3. Play a higher line / press harder at home. Our CM is not very mobile and cannot control a game, so when we defend in a low block at home we are getting dominated too easily. VdV has rocket fuel in his boots. Spence and Udogie are both rapid. Your back 4 can compress play into the opponents half. Turning over the ball in the opponent's half will get the best out of Xavi Simons who loves receiving the ball on the turn in a transition.

4. Go all in on Muani / Odobert / Simons / Tel. Start them together in every home game. Praise them, free them, blow smoke up their arses, give them the freedom to do what they want.

5. Do not be scared to start Danso over Romero. Not as good a line breaking passer, but less mistakes / less free-kicks conceded / less cards.
