    I guess you never know until they set foot in the PL. It's a different beast. I think you're right though.

    Whilst I do agree, I still think I'd like to see a period of optimisation of the hand we've been dealt. It really frustrates me that we can become the 4th or 5th biggest spenders over a decent period of time and can't turn up to 15 clubs in the PL and think of ourselves as favourites. I find it...

    lol - what occurs to me is that there must be a cultural problem at Spurs if the members on this forum know so much about what all the senior leaders think, say and do. Leaks everywhere, unless there is pillow talk in play with Fabio, Vinai and Johan :tearsofjoy:

    This is worth a read -https://www.cityam.com/premier-league-stadiums-inside-footballs-grandstand-revolution/ Building a stadium from ground zero isn't the norm at all. Redeveloping your existing stadium is. It is not as if Spurs are the only club to have consumed a cost of infrastructure...

    I thought Toby's injury was in the lead up to a WC year. That would have made it the 17/18 season. Wasn't he getting frustrated that Poch wouldn't put him back in and left him on the bech for a while?

    Eventually a visible trend appears though. Even Levy saw the trend of his own failings and decided to move the chairs about so he could focus on what he was really good at. He took way too long to have his humility moments on how he ran football operations including hiring managers. In any other...

    For me it was the 16/17 season. There was the famous match where Poch matched up Conte's title winning Chelsea and we beat them 2-0. I think Dele got both and it was that amazing cross from Kane. Might be wrong on that one though. I remember it as this team mostly. Hugo Dier, Toby, Jan Walker...

    Said on that vid that he likes his wingbacks to play high and wide. He wants them hugging the touch line.

    Yeah the burnout is a great call. I've both experienced it and witnessed it in the corporate world. It's not a quick fix even though you can drop back into a different role in the corporate world where you recharge and get ready for the next adventure. You can't obviously find a lateral role for...

    Yep, more fair points. What people forget here is that Levy inevitably got his multi-year forecasting horribly wrong as far bask as 16/17. When you go back and look at the 2 years worth of absolutely huge profit in that key period, the story gets uglier. HMRC were happy for Levy's kind...

    Personally, I think it would have been more than a down year. The age profile of the first team made the squad vulnerable, we had bought bad replacements for key departures like Walker and we had some tough injuries dilemmas with guys like Rose, Wanyama, Dier, Dembele, Winks and especially Dele...

    Yeah, the Tudor/Muani connection will be really interesting. Not sure who is first to return out of Kudus, Madds and Kulu but I'd still be thinking of those as 10's with Simons before I use Muani in that central area. His first touch doesn't seem good enough. What was also interesting about...

    Based on the video Raziel shared the big difference should be that the 6 doesn't press. It's the LCB and RCB that push forwards with the 2 wingbacks. So it should be reasonably stable. Tudor has a fighting chance as we do have time between games to drive a new system forward. My only concern is...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I'll take both of these. Conte - wasn't that good a coach in this environment. Picked up Jose's title winning squad after the doctor fiasco, reshaped it into a back 3 at a time when nobody played it. Fair play for that. One season of disruption then he was picked off by the other coaches. Our...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Poch was great a nurturing and as he got into the role he figured out each player's runway. Some like Mason plateua'd just below Poch needed but the pair of them were incredibly professional about their separation. Other players that he worked with had incredibly high ceilings. I know this...

    This is how a Spurs manager should talk. We shouldn't be in shock when our manager's tell the truth. That helps with the culture change we need to go through. Then as the green shoots appear then the messaging changes with it. There is just no point creating echo chambers in life. It gets you...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    No arguments from me. I've spent a very long time talking about the quality over quantity model in transfers. We sign way too many average players. This also relates to the boundaries the manager should respect and talk about. There is no point talking like a Real Madrid manager when you're a...

    Don't agree. That speech has been had by and with every manager along this path. They've all said the Ra, Ra things people want to hear. Like so many fans, I'm sick of the lip service at this point. Frank even tried in subtle ways to have the honesty conversation but got shot down. That is OUR...

    Love that upside. Perhaps the club will finally grow a pair and hire a specialist role just to analyse the referee's performance. Make the denominator the laws of the game. Make the numerator the referee's performance against the laws of the game. Go very public with the results and prove in...
