Thomas Frank - Head Coach

They shouldn't have given up because that was their journey, but its certainly not the formula for long term success in any sport. Its also as much about others being off their game than it is anything else, thats why Mike Tyson went on to win another World Title and Leicester were since stinking up the joint in the Championship

If you want a new Tottenham built as I do, with a more sustained spell of success than the odd pot, up there year in year out with a team that reflects the balance sheet, then you are going to have to back the manager that comes in next for longer than 6 months otherwise you yourself will be in a constant state of flux and frustration, despite what any titans of industry manual tell you about life and sport. Thats not a defence of Frank BTW, thats a reality of Spurs as a club in which the data of the last 30 years falls in my favour when knowing how big a job is in the hands of whoever the manager is, Frank or otherwise

You need underdogs and filler to fill sport, nothing says they can't have their day, but if this clubs going to have more than "just its day" then some of our fans need more stomach than the constant idea of instamix success that some seem to believe exists

For me.

First of all a solution to the DoF question. Is Lange the one to be trusted without Paratici? Someone else alongside him? A better team around him? Or someone in above or instead of him?

From there figure out an overall plan for how we want to play. Not just now, but for at least 5 years going forward. Not the details, but an overall approach. That would then allow us to recruit and develop players for a balanced squad that can serve the current/next head coach and the one after that.

From there get or keep a head coach whose previous work aligns with that overall strategy, someone that's done well playing a brand of that overall approach. Obviously also someone who can work with the squad already here. Ability to work with and develop young players is a must. From there ferry whoever is the highest rated of those fitting those parameters.

From there you can back the manager/head coach and give them time.

Shoet term though we may reach a point where a short term change is needed.

TBH, who knows, but TBH again, I don't see the obsession that Fab was anything more than another chancer in the world of DOFs.

Not obsessed with Paratici at all. More that I have doubts about Lange doing that job on his own.

We need the people who should be in charge of these decisions in place first to make the decisions they need to make.

After that giving the head coach time becomes a thing we can or can't do. Until then we're swimming upstream in the dark in a somehow shark infested river (sharks don't usually live in rivers do they?)
 
Watching Utd against the Goons it occurred to me that at 1:2 when Carrick made an attacking change Frank would have taken off an attacking to bring a defender, probably Danso.
