They were 15th and lost to us in the EL final when they kept him on.
Amorim sacked himself. He made his position untenable.
I don’t disagree.
Oh i agree but he was 8th places higher than this clown show we have who is still in a job
probably for long throw capability
so he brought Bergvall on instead for the same
thats how low we are now, thats our gameplan, who can throw it the furthest
its fucking FOOTBALL Frank you c***
Yeah - the fact that Frank's Brentford were a good defensive team is also a myth.
They were capable of occasional strong defensive performances against big teams where they'd by stodge it up and sit deep but his Brentford team consistently conceded a lot of goals and was rarely good for a clean sheet.
They were also a lot better at attacking than we look but I guess that's cos they had a squad built for more direct/attritional football with pace on the break. He's been completely unable to adapt without a proper target man and a player with Mbeumo's quality out wide.
Losing to us is a sackable offence youre right.
So technically he improved this season
To an extent.
What you never saw was the level of discontent from the players, or even their fans.

The thing is, the he had them in 6th argument...I mean its just 2 wins off us, not really a ringing endorsement
Relegation is a disaster though, first we would lose any decent player - yes most are underperforming but we don’t want to be getting rid of the likes of Bergvall, VDV, Romero, Vuskovic etc
Secondly, it’s not just lack of quality at Spurs at the moment, it’s also lack of fight and you need plenty of that in the Championship.
Finally - if we don’t come back up in those first couple of years then standards can slip and the Championship can become the norm. Even getting promoted again is then a difficult hurdle as other Prem sides are so much better than you.
The club simply cannot go down - it needs to pull its finger out, get the right manager, break the wage structure and buy players that will have us in the top 6 again
Yep. Atrocious.

Greaves said this years ago -
"If you want the best train set down your street you have to go out and buy it, no one is going to give it to you"
This was regarding owning a football club, he wasn't wrong .
I know mate, was a bit tongue and cheek.
Of course I don't want to see us go down but these owners fucking exasperate me
Spot on, we keep turning up at car boot sales hoping we can find it on the cheap and then buy shit with half the track missing
I can’t watch that kick off routine anymore - if there’s anything less Spurs than that then I haven’t seen it
Prof (last night):
Apparently, after the game there was a relatively brief conversation between VL and VV (and a 3rd person; not VV or JL, but don't know who) which will be continued tomorrow and/or Monday. No idea whether it was of the "Do we still have confidence in TF? We do - okay, carry on" or the "Enough's enough. Time to move on" variety.
Follow up this morning:
Seems like it was closer to the latter. TF’s few remaining supporters within the hierarchy are mounting a spirited defence of their man, but that might not be enough to save TF from the axe after the decision-makers meet later today. Can VV persuade the board they should trust his experience in football over their own instincts as to the best way forward for the club? The outcome is in the balance. Within the group who want to replace TF there’s not yet unanimity around who and when. The hope is that this will also be resolved at the upcoming meeting.

This obviously isn’t retrievable with the fans. By the looks of yesterday, not with the players either.
And when I say “this” I don’t just mean Frank, I mean the passive, counter attacking style.
They need to find someone who can get the crowd back into the game. With Frank they thought they knew better than the fans

His experience? In winning fuck all as a Gooner?
