    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Yeah, I guess we always need to know where we can plateau with any manager. Before, there was always a reason to say the manager was getting dealt a bad hand with the club. We could always site reasons like budget as to why we were not performing. With Ange and Frank the level of budget and...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    I just can't imagine what I'd be thinking if I were a Forest fan and my new manager comes in an makes it about himself and his ex-employers. He needs to get his head down on the current job in hand. This is why I see him as junior as he can't elevate himself above this type of thing.

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    The "junior" thing is purely about his comms persona in the public environment. It's definitely not his strength. When you look closely, there was nothing disrespectful in any question from the journo's.

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    The big irony here is that he didn't even need to defend himself. He was just asked a simple question about talks between himself and the owners during the international break, after a couple of minutes into the presser. He could have said "we talk every day" or "no, we haven't met recently" or...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    I don't. I think he needs to keep his comms minimal and non-emotional, and let actions speak louder than words. Leaving himself open in this way by these meanderings into previous employments is just downright naive and not helpful to his current employers or his players. Why does Ange need...

    Johan Lange - Sporting Director

    Nah, wasn't talking about them. We had a chief football officer with the clear comms that went with it. Munn according to those comms had the oversight role for mens, womens and academy football. He had functions like recruitment and medical. He basically had everything that was non-commercial...

    Johan Lange - Sporting Director

    I found the job title progressions quite interesting. Munn was Chief Football Officer and Lange was Technical Director. Then Vinai becomes Cheif Executive whilst Charrington becomes Non-Exec Chairman whereas Levy was an Executive Chairman. Now we have 2 Sporting Directors. In other words, it...

    ENIC

    Oh, I get what you're saying. No I don't. They had years and years to show they bled Spurs like we do. They were never present in the lead up to the change when they easily could have been.

    Scott Munn

    Nobody externally really knows anything about Munn but 90% have found him guilty of something. The minority that either do or at least think they do should lay down some facts for the rest of us. EVERYONE at the club was part of that win. Even people that had come and gone at the club in the...

    ENIC

    I think someone has sold them on some other models. It would not be easy to show the correlation between the process of investment into a football operation, the success on the field and the global growth in that order. They would have had it explained to them in some case studies of our biggest...

    ENIC

    I still see it as a power shift at the board room level from ENIC to Tavistock. The latter has 21 investments linked here - https://www.tavistock.com/investments/ Obviously, THFC is one of them and we know that they own >70% of ENIC and the club. It just feels like Tavistock were very happy...

    World Cup 2026 - Qualifiers

    I do think other countries went more 2 pronged though. Spain internationally won a world cup and a couple of Euros in the PL years. They rode alongside RM and Barca who picked up 11 or 12 CL trophies amongst them. Germany held the Bundesliga as one pyramid structure and formed a tight...

    Scott Munn

    Yeah, I agree. Also, it's interesting that Scott was Chief Football Officer when we won the first trophy in 18 years. If you believe some, Ange won it single handedly anyway.

    World Cup 2026 - Qualifiers

    I actually don't like the organisations. I cannot stand FIFA and UEFA, but have no love of the PL either. The day the PL stole all the decision rights from the FA was a bad day for football. We needed to fix the wrongs of the FA who were not doing a good job. We needed to unite the pyramid, not...

    World Cup 2026 - Qualifiers

    I still think online fans of clubs just don't get the bigger picture of international football. Here's a few things to consider. - The players WANT international football. They deeply care about it and love meeting up with their fellow countrymen to play in there other team. For them, that...

    Fabio Paratici - Also Sporting Director

    I think if you lead your life with best intent at the forefront then this makes total sense. I'm sure the guys on the podcast will tease it apart well at the weekend. What occurs to me is that Lange isn't the guy that leads from the front around the negotiation table. He's not massively...

    Yep, one bad tackle may have cost us £4-5m. Let's hope he recovers.

    Yves Bissouma

    That injury could have cost Spurs a small chunk of money. If he's not ready for sale by Jan we'll be getting nothing for him.
