So what would you do once you fired him.
Simple question.

Just see out the season with no one?

You're acting like my 9 year old daughter and being insanely irrationally over the top.
She says she's hungry.
I offer her 14 different things.
None of them are good enough,
So she cries and screams and tells me it's all my fault.

That's you.
You're being a hysterical 9 year old girl.
I'll say the same to you as I say to her. Take a breath and pull yourself together. Think about what you're saying.
Sacking him now does more harm that good. Even if he's not up to the job, we're not getting a replacement now. The optics alone would look terrible to any candidate.

Can any of you imagine JJ or Paul Merson or Emerson Royal ever wanting to put the yards in to become a manager in today’s game .

Absolutely can imagine Emerson doing that. He’s the one who was always trying to better himself as a player.

Emerson Royal 'has spent nearly £1MILLION trying to improve his game'

The 23-year-old joined Spurs in 2021 for a fee of £25m but initially failed to impress Antonio Conte, with The Times reporting in January that Conte thought the wing-back 'did not fit the bill'.

100 % ; always amazes me that every other player doesn’t do the same thing fwiw. Just like the best tennis players , boxers , ballet dancers , Jonny Wilkinson. etc . They practice in their own time to become better at what they do .

But my point was by the time they’ve finished playing and earning; they’d have to start right at the bottom in order to achieve what the
“technocratic” less gifted players who eventually become managers are already half-way to becoming.

Emerson R was just a name off the top of my head , and I see your point entirely. I’ll change my post .

Thanks for pointing it out .

Edit update; changed to David Bentley.

The way you've framed that question sums up perfectly why we should just sack Thomas Frank tonight.

We will do well to get 4 points from that group of fixtures in our current malaise.

Forest have Everton next so either Everton are getting further away from Spurs or Forest are catching us up just before they then play us.

I have no hope or expectation for the season under Frank.

This simply can't go on.

Who are we going to appoint today that’s going to get us more than four points?

Whoever it is needs to have outstanding pedigree or they simply will never be accepted. Must have:

Managed and won a Tournament at International level.

Managed and won league titles at at least 3 different clubs - preferably across three continents.

Won at least one major European Trophy.


Good luck finding a suitable candidate with those qualifications :D

Someone who could get us to have a shot on target in the opening 45mins would be a good start

At the start of a season where Woolwich look like they could win the league Spurs are potentially headed into a relegation battle with a gooner CEO and Brentford's manager.

Imagine them winning the league and Spurs getting relegated?
