    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I guess this one depends on Takai's readiness to be in the match day squad. We could end up with Romero, Danso and VDV on the pitch plus Udogie, Davies and Dragu not in the match day squad. That leaves Spence as the only senior sub, plsu the option of pulling Palhinha back into defence I guess...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think it's OK saying we need more quality. I guess that never stops being the case with any top club. More than that though, I think Frank needs access to Solanke and Kulu. When I think back to the Ange teams, they were nothing without these 2 guys. Ange became so dependent on Solanke as his...

    Ben Davies

    I've mentioned this a few times before. Davies has had a hamstring injury every season since the 21/22 season. Last season he was unavailable for close to 50 days and missed 12 of our games. Unfortunately, he is not as dependable as a 4th or 5th choice defender as some people think. I reckon it...

    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...
