    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    What about Mourinho? 😁 Regarding Frank, I think people are in for a disappointment if they think he'll change his ways. Managers live and die by their results and, usually, those who are appointed at a club like Spurs have been fairly successful. There's no need for them to reinvent the wheel...

    This part is very important and, in my opinion, has been completely overlooked by the club. We've been obsessed with ROI and that has blocked us from signing players in their twilight years who could have provided useful guidance to youngsters. Unfortunately, that means inquiring about a...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I'd argue that by the time Pochettino was sacked, our status within the game was ambiguous. If you only looked at the results, we were an elite club: qualifying consistently for the CL, reaching the final, being invited to the Super League or whatever the name was... You had to look at the more...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    We're back to the 90s again, albeit with more competent players minus the real stars we had back then. At the time, you entered every season thinking that if Anderton and King could stay injury free, if Ginola could add some end product to his game, if Sheringham kept scoring, maybe we could...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Certainly but you don't end up in the bottom five of any ranking just because you're trying to pass the ball forward. We weren't the only ones to try to take the game to the opposition, even if I'll admit that our approach was certainly... extreme. Palinha, Sarr, even Bergvall, Kudus or...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    It's true but, at the same time, even under Postecoglou, our midfielders were already exposed for their very poor passing ability, despite having more progressive options. During his second season, I remember reading a piece that claimed we had one of the worst midfields in the league when it...

    Transfer thread

    I'd add that setting targets that are perceived as unrealistic and sacking managers before they had a chance to settle properly doesn't reflect very well on the club as a whole. Sacking Postecoglou after he won a trophy raised some questions, but the league position probably justified the...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think it's fairly obvious to everyone that we only have one way of moving the ball forward, and that's by the running with it. Even if we had attackers with good off the ball movement, they'd be wasted in this team, as we don't have the skills to play off of that. That's why our play is so...

    ***OMT TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC V fulham...Sat 29th (today FFS!) 8pm - BTW HAPPY BIRTHDAY FERNADEZ'S OLDEST KID***

    I think you're right but, to be fair, it's the other side of the coin. A lot of people (myself included, albeit at a microscopic scale) make a good living out of football. I think the transition occurred somewhere in the 90s, when Klinsmann said he had earned so much money that his kids and...

    ***OMT TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC V fulham...Sat 29th (today FFS!) 8pm - BTW HAPPY BIRTHDAY FERNADEZ'S OLDEST KID***

    The club's been pretty much directionless since Pochettino left, maybe since Mourinho left, if you're feeling generous. The squad is horribly unbalanced, not in terms of positions, but in terms of profile. It's not entirely the club's fault - we might be in a better situation if Paratici had...

    ***OFFICIAL***SPURS***L'arse***OMT***

    I'm afraid it's only the beginning: they are about to introduce more and more 'technology' in football and, as you rightly stated, some people are making a lot of money off it. It wasn't great in the Blatter days, but FIFA has been under US control for quite a few years now, so you should...

    ***OFFICIAL***SPURS***L'arse***OMT***

    The performance was horrendous but what's even more worrying is the fact that someone would think you can get anything away from a game with that kind of set-up in 2025. It might have worked in the 90s (and probably not even in England) but those days are long gone. I agree with @Bedfordspurs -...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Oddly enough, when I write 'entertained', I mean 'entertained' not 'win' or whatever else you choose to understand. So, by the same logic, you don't have to go to the movies, to the restaurant, to the ballet... what's the point of any craft? Seasons tickets are sold on the promise that you will...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    One thing I would add is that it looks like playing high-intensity games in quick succession is taking a toll on the squad. There's more depth than last season, but I think in the short run, for a side like ours, the Champions League is going to cost points. It might help the players going...
