Our front line players wouldn’t get into the starting 11 at these clubs- especially Bournemouth and Brentford. Both sides have much better options. Whoever recruited them for Spurs knows very little about football and unfortunately Frank is not the man to improve things

We probably won't get relegated if we sack him. That's all the motivation and reason we should have to get rid of him. There are massive issues at the club, but the first fixable part. He has no respect from the players, and absolutely no doubt when he's replaced, whoever it is, the players will magically remember how to play again.
so how many necks are on the block with Frank's appointment ?
Vinai, lange who else ?
how can vinai sack Frank without losing face ?
Board needs to replace Venky or w/ev his name is asap. Dude puts the 'sham' in 'Venkatasham'.
Keep an eye on Matt Law and the telegraph over the next day I reckon. That tit seems to be the one getting the inside scoop lately.
All you need to look at to understand Frank's philosophy, are our throw ins. Whenever and wherever we get one, the player taking it will first & foremost look to pass it backwards...especially cause Frank is shouting and pointing that way whilst chewing his gum like a crack addict.
When I played and coached, that was seen as a cardinal sin. You always play forward. Same with corners and free kicks, none of that playing it short shitty combinations or trying to hold on to the ball etc. Absolutely infuriates when we get a corner or free kick deep inside their half and 10 seconds later the ball is back with Vicario.
He's an absolute coward of a manager. And the more you listen to him, you realise his Mr Nice, Humble guy act is just that...an act.
Yet because they are fucking clueless at the club I bet it is what they do.
A few thoughts
- Frank HAS to go. You can't put in a performance like that on top of the recent results and get abuse from fans and survive. People have stopped going. That is untenable.
- Frank was a poor appointment, but these results reflect just as poorly on the players and the board. Odobert, Tel , Vicario, RKM, etc. None of them are top four players. Lange should be fired with Frank.
- Unfortunately things will get worse before they get better. Our upcoming fixtures (except Burnley) are absolutely brutal.

He can’t. But he should never have been hired in the first place.
Somehow he seems to be considered the architect of the Gooner project. You know, that win nothing.
Yep. We all spoke about it in the long throw thread. It’s a cowards way of playing football. You’re basically giving the players an easy lazy way out of getting the ball in the box. Plus the success rate of them working is tiny, especially, if like us you’re slow to the second ball because your players can’t be bothered. Normal attacking throws (like teams have for a century) and let the players work it out as to how to get the ball into dangerous areas.
You’re right. Sums us up under Frank.
I think the bigger issue is that the players seem to have lost hope with him. You can survive without the fans if the players really believe in you but I get the impression they don’t.
Bring Levy back on a contract til Feb 2nd, just so he sacks Vinai, Lange, that scruffy City twink, Lewindon and other useless execs, the PR team and of course Frank & his entire clowning staff.
Give him a 10mil bonus if he manages to shift Vicario, Romero, Porro, Udogie, Bentancur, Richy, Solanke...and terminate Bissouma and Muani's contracts.
Levy ain’t doing any of that. Best you could hope for is he sacks Frank and gets Mason back as temp. Also you would need to replace all the players you sold.
He’s due £1bn plus when Spurs are eventually sold. Like he will care about £10m. Or fixing a mess when he was fucked over.
Frank is only responsible for 11 of those though
Ange was the other atrocious 14 games
