    I genuinely had to look up Bromley FC and understand what league they were in. In my day as a Kent boy, there was Gillingham floating around the bottom divisions. I supported Maidstone Utd and we got promoted to the old Div 4 before going into liquidation. So for a short time there were 2 Kent...

    Slightly different things though. Pool's system was totally geared to support Klopp so when Slot took over it was totally geared to support him. That should be no different from the Ange to Frank transition and the one after that. It does get me thinking whether the Spurs model really is setup...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham FC ***

    Well Frank is incredibly focused on the opposition's best players. So we should expect something like Gray being shuffled over to support Spence and negate Bowen. That could even mean a midfield 3 of Gallagher, Palhinha and Gray with Xavi benched or moved to the wider area.

    Nah, don't think Frank was saying that. He was saying that they are less likely to score from Zone 14 BUT when we are doing the right things defensively as well. Stands to reason if you give them space to get the ball in the right place to get a clean strike away unopposed then you are in...

    It's only on Vic really if we believe he should have stopped them. With him, he's such a good shot stopper that I really don't see that accusation being levelled at him.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham FC ***

    It's certainly going to be an interesting team selection. I don't think Frank will have any hesitation putting Gallagher in but he still has calls to make on Udogie, Solanke etc.

    I'm only ever excited with these changes. I watched for way too long as Levy stuck with his 2-in-a-box model with his managers. He over-empowered himself on football operational decisions that he didn't always make well. He should have looked at organisations like Fenway Sports Group and seen...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I hope the people who have been calling Frank's narrative negative will pick up on what he has said in today's presser. I liked this when talking about the balance between not getting time but needing time. "make this big engine tick and get up to momentum and pace and then it is an...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa FC ***

    Nah, it was relevant because we only got CL one season. I remember listing the 35 squad players at at the start of every summer. We calculated the salaries of unwanted players including the chunk of the fiscal year when all the loanees returned. It was the equivalent of about an extra £30-40m...

    Yeah, agree. Problem is, he's part of that Senegal team that are on a march to the AFCON final. He's not even with Everton until they come home next week after the final on Sunday. Personally, I see us going more for a dedicated left winger than a Kudus cover / Johnson replacement. Kudus...

    Transfer thread

    I'm reading that Veliz has exceeded his quota of games and can't be recalled automatically to be sold on. I guess Spurs need to get into a compensation conversation to soften him leaving. That could delay things.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa FC ***

    I used to read the accounts in those days. What I can tell you is that Harry took our wage bill up round 35-40% permanently. So much of that salary was being spent on players that had absolutely no first team impact. We ended up loaning over 25s to try and get some of it covered because we...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    Don't agree. Our big players / leaders are guys like Romero, VDV, Porro, Solanke and they're fit. The 2 talismen missing are Kulu and Madds. Hopefully we'll get the former back soon. I think Richi can have his moments as a big character. He has passion. I'd like to see way more of it from...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa FC ***

    I think it really was 2 cultures though. If you were in the Harry club then life was good. If you were one of his stockpiled players that never got a sniff then life wasn't so good. Harry and Levy were pretty reckless with squad management. Harry joined at the time the PL quotas were changing...

    Fabio Paratici - Also Sporting Director

    I've only seen a few elite teams have a sustained period of transfer purchases that was transformational in the last 20 years or so. Klopp's Pool spring to mid. We all know the story. For me, this squad is night and day from the ones we had under Jose, Nuno, Conte etc. The squads we've seen...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    We're 6 points from 5th, and 8 points from 4th. 17 games left. We have to still believe that we can turn this around.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    LOL - isn't the modern manager way to take the bullets themselves and say that they were the ones who asked their precious babies to take the risks and play that way. Couldn't possibly be the players fault.

    Fabio Paratici - Also Sporting Director

    Don't blame him. He had a seriously big job at Juve and had done the hard yards to get there over a decade or so of promotions. I don't dislike the guy but we do seem to be in a phase at the club where everyone is analysing everything about the way it is run. In reality, it's probably not being...

    Transfer thread

    I think a lot of this will depend on whether can get a player like Wharton. It's all about quality over quantity at this point. One more player this window and 2 or 3 only in the summer. No more. We also need to keep shifting players as we're doing.

    Conor Gallagher

    Would we perhaps start him in the Kudus role against West Ham? Put Palhinha and Gray together and maintain Xavi in the 10 role. I swear I used to see him do a load of good work in the right channel. I'm thinking when he was at Baggies or Palace.
