If Liverpool don’t sack Slott, where is he going?
United? Never because it would rule out Liverpool down the line?
Bayern? Kompany is doing very well there.
Italy? Can’t see tbh
Maybe Man City
Yeah he'll probably go City while we get a wanker like De Zerbi.
Thomas Frank made a personal call to Conor Gallagher to convince the midfielder to join Tottenham Hotspur and not hold out for a move to Aston Villa.
Villa had considered themselves frontrunners to sign Gallagher on an initial loan for much of Monday until Spurs moved the goalposts significantly by agreeing a £34.6m fee with Atletico Madrid.
Frank, the club’s head coach, helped clinch the deal for Tottenham by speaking to Gallagher personally and convincing him the move was right, despite the team’s struggles this season.
While Spurs are in the bottom half of the Premier League and out of both domestic cups, Frank is thought to have shared his and Tottenham’s long-term vision, which will be reflected in a lengthy contract.
The fact Frank played such a big part in the signing of Gallagher would underline the insistence of Spurs insiders that he retains the faith of the club’s Lewis family owners and chief executive Vinai Venkatesham.

Said it in the other thread but this makes Frank the most backed manager we've ever had. High wage, high transfer fee players in their mid to late 20's.
If Thomas Frank spoke to Gallagher he would not be on a plane to London today

Maybe Connor really likes LEGO as well.
Surely its pretty common place for new signings to speak to the manager first, probably why Gallagher and Poch had a good conversation before he agreed to come here...........If Thomas Frank spoke to Gallagher he would not be on a plane to London today
Probably told him how he's gonna be very, very, very, very, very, very important to our future.
And listed all the positives we've had from day one this season.
"Did you know we only lost to PSG in the Supercup on pens? Then we scored 3 goals at their gaff in the CL. Also we deserved far more than 5 points in the previous 5 games."
Maybe he would like to tell him to fuck off face to faceIf Thomas Frank spoke to Gallagher he would not be on a plane to London today
Probably said "don't worry, I won't be here too long anyway"If Thomas Frank spoke to Gallagher he would not be on a plane to London today
This is a brilliant summary of Frankball. Sack him now

"Listen Connor, we've never had 2 bad performances in a row, and we really do win a lot of duels. Our set piece coach even worked for Man UTD once and you'll get to have a crack at taking long throws. The fans are cunts, though."

Yeah, it is just part of a managers job to persuade a player to come to a club. I don’t think you can read much more into it than that.
Sounds like a PR move from the Club to get the fans more palatable to Frank staying.
