Looks like we are being held hostage by them.
It’s mental that they have lost 9 backroom plus manger and their best 3 players from last season yet our in 7th in PL and 7 points ahead of us atm. Their manager I assume is in his first role as top man. Whilst Frank been around for years had a very expensively assembled squad can’t even organise us to look like a well drilled team.
 
I think most could see the sense in selling Brennan for a decent fee. Right up until he wasn’t replaced. I know hindsight is wonderful and if we had known Kudus was going to get injured things might have been different but it seems there was plenty of time to do something and yet, nothing.

Baffling
Indeed Johnson needed to go but regardless of kudus injury we still needed to replace him. Remember we got £20M for Son as well. Surely the whole recruitment team must have had some wingers in their list?
 
He literally called out fans who boo "as not Tottenham fans".
He then said we didn’t deserve to be in CL or words to that effect. Not realising that every competition there is a prize which we won a trophy and got a place in CL. It’s like say winning the fa cup getting into europa and finishing 17th. Are gonna say we are not a Europa team as we didn’t finish in top 7. Absurd. Also using last seasons 17th as an excuse when it suits him after losing. Never bloody mentions it after winning or coming back for a gallant draw.
 
The number of people coming in from Brentford would suggest it’s not this summer. If Frank stays this will have been a wasted season by him and the club. He has developed or implemented any real pattern of play or style. It’s just go for it after we are 2 down and make everyone think he is a tactical genius. Forgetting he coached the previous minutes of shiteness up to that point.
 
The glaring problem here is that Brentford were happy to let them all go. If I was in charge of Spurs I'd have thought "hang on, why are those fuckers not putting up more resistance to me stealing their entire coaching team". It was is if they knew exactly what we were getting. A crap coaching team who have benefited from a solid front office and low expectations at Brentford, to enhance their profiles. Frank is dead after this gig. Can't see another club giving him an opportunity. To be honest, with the massive pay off coming his way, I doubt he'll even need to work again. Probably take the Denmark job at some point down the line, do that 4 year cycle, and disappear to the studio to talk bollocks about football.
Be great on sky with their electronic board
 
I think Vinai & Lange did not sign any more players due to limited options in the market.

Yeah, we definitely needed to sign backups, but they probably thought if we should purchase any other players, they need to be at the required standard.

Frank must not rate Scarlett, since his loan makes no sense from a squad perspective.

But as low as the standards have fallen, if Frank keeps following the same trajectory, there is no way his tenure should continue.
Lookman, the guy from Monaco, etc plenty out there
 
The mighty Brentford. It’s like saying the local 7/11 staff all take over running John Lewis or Waitrose. What is it with football and its mates jobs / nepotism. Surely they should be trying to recruit the best person for the job not just someone who happened to work with them previously. 9 ex Brentford staff crazy. No wonder we are where are and play like we do mostly.
I don't give a shit who it is, as long as he solves the issues.
 
If I was Frank I'd just forget about Man United and Newcastle and focus on winning the Woolwich game. That's probably why I'm not Frank, but it's basically the only thing he can do to leave a legacy.

Semenyo. That was it, it seems.

If youre at a club, trying to pull - its a bit of a numbers game, you go to all the 10's and try your luck. Maybe you get rejected, maybe you get lucky?

Lange doesnt believe in that. He'll study the dancefloor all night like the perpetrator in a sunday evening drama, and decide upon a single 6 he can pull. Get turned down anyway. Go home and crywank.
