I'll give you Venkatesham (albeit let's be honest, he came in knowing he was going to usurp 'The King' so automatically I am not especially bound to trust a man who essentially was fine taking out his hiring boss so ruthlessly).
I do not want Lange close to our DoF role.
FWIW I think it is telling that in the rounds of arse-covering/statement-making which Vinai has engaged in, I have not seen hide or hair of Lange's name.

Agree that Vinai is worth giving a second season to. His failing was giving too much credence to the opinions of the main footballing guy who was hired by his predecessor. Hopefully he’ll find a better occupant for that role moving forwards. But he has a very good track record and was obviously the guy who laid the foundations for something that happened recently just down the road.

Langhe is clearly out of his depth in the DoF role. While he has a decent record in recruiting young players for us, he has failed at every other aspect of his role. If a head is going to roll, and one does to keep the masses from rioting in the streets, it simply has to be him.

To be fair, you are in the Thomas Frank thread…..

Thomas Frank breaks silence with statement on Tottenham and his future amid Fulham links​

The former Tottenham Hotspur head coach has released a statement on his time at the club and playing down any links this summer​

Thomas Frank has made it clear that he will not be returning to football management this summer and has spoken about his time at Tottenham in a new statement.

Now four months after leaving the club and amid recent links to both the managerial posts at Fulham and previously Crystal Palace, Frank has spoken for the first time as he has released a statement through the League Managers' Association.

"I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has reached out over the past few months. Your support and encouragement have been greatly appreciated," it read.

"Leaving Tottenham has given me the "Football remains a huge part of who I am, and I have chosen to use this time productively. Over the coming months, besides spending time with family and friends, I will continue studying, observing and learning from other leaders both within sport and beyond it.chance to step back and reflect on my journey so far. Football management is a profession that demands complete commitment every single day, and periods like this are a rare opportunity to assess, learn and gain a fresh perspective.

"From the outside, it may have looked like a time of many challenges at Tottenham when results were not what we wanted. From within, however, it becomes clear why the club is so special - full of talented people who work tirelessly every day. I have no doubt Tottenham has a bright future.

"I am also looking forward to covering the World Cup for Danish television and the BBC, as well as experiencing the Tour de France. Time away from the touchline is allowing me to broaden my perspective and gather insights that I look forward to bringing into my next challenge.

"There have been conversations and opportunities since leaving Spurs, but I have decided not to rush into the next role. For me, this summer is not the right time to go back into management.

"When the time is right, I will look forward to my return as a manager, ready to embrace the job with great energy and dedication."

Classy from Frank, would expect nothing less from him. He would have been hurting, this was his big job opportunity and he obviously worked hard. Hopefully he settles down at a good club when he's ready, all the best to him....

Very classy, hats off.

He’s a class act, good luck to him.

Only a matter of time until he’s at another big club imo.

Pure class

I reckon it will be a gold club
Maybe a Jacob’s club possibly
Night club? Doesn’t strike me as the type
