    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    As luck would have it, I saw after posting this that there are a lot of transfer rumours flying around. As usual, it's only my two pence and by no means do I claim to be an expert. I know my post tends to be rather... assertive, but that's just because English isn't my first language. In any...

    Transfer thread

    Someone at the club finally realised they urgently need to take the attention off Frank. They're spreading rumours and when they will inevitably fail to materialise, people will direct their anger at the board... for a time, at least.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    That's an interesting take, but I still think they could have done better. Like it or not, their manager is under huge pressure. A guy they claimed was the outstanding candidate after a thorough assessment process. Six months into the job, it looks like we could be dragged into a relegation...

    Guglielmo Vicario

    It's true but, at the same time, he could definitely be improved upon. Whether he can be improved upon for the kind of money we seemed to be willing to spend is another matter though. Crux of the matter is whether the rumors that he wants to go back to Italy are true. If he does, it's best to...

    Would relegation be that bad?

    Come on, come clean and admit you're just missing Sheffield United ;)

    David Ginola

    Superb player and he seems like a fairly nice guy. I saw him once in a kickabout with kids and he was really nice and cool with them - as far as you can imagine from his public image. I think he was just too talented for his own good though. Some players are just so naturally gifted that they...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    Our obsession with resale value is no stranger to our current predicament. To be fair, we did put a lot of money into the new stadium and players like that - from a stricly financial point of view - offer little or no upside. Unfortunately, football is about a bit more than buying and selling...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    Conte's infamous rant might have been unprofessional, but he's been proved correct. There are way too many people at this club who always pick the path of least resistance. We're back where we started, with exactly the same problems and Pochettino's time at the club will soon be considered an...

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Burnlio, Sat Jan 24th, 3pm***

    Another horrible performance. It's not even about the result anymore, it's just the sheer boredom of having to watch through these snoozefests week in, week out. We look like a discount version of that Norway team under Egil Olsen: more focused on winning 'second balls' and maximising set pieces...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    The board backed themselves into a corner. Ideally, you want your new guy in place for March. Season will be over by then, but he'll have the benefit of a few months to assess the squad (again...). However, we've seen that the crowd can quickly turn on a manager so, unless it's a huge name...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    On the other hand, if the players really don't want to play for him, literally anybody else would do a better job. Only those with eyes and ears in the locker room and on the training ground know what's best in this situation. From a PR point of view, though, the board probably want to sack him...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    You have to feel sorry for Frank. A lot of people wondered how Brentford would fare without him and he would fare without Brentford's excellent scouting system. It just takes one quick look at the table to know the answer. It will take him years to rebuild his reputation, assuming he ever does.

    Next Manager Thread (2026 Edition)

    Gallardo is no longer flavour of the month but he did some great things at River. He made a huge mistake when he went for the money at Al Ittihad but if we're going to take another punt, I wouldn't mind seeing whether he can cut it at this level. His River teams were a decent watch, from what I...

    Next Manager Thread (2026 Edition)

    Trump will impose tariffs on Spurs if we try to sign Pochettino. If I were Vinai, I'd go out of my way to try and sign Alonso, but he'd be crazy to come. His reputation is sky-high after the way Real kicked him out. I don't think anybody ever imagined Pochettino would reach the CL final with...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    I don't think anyone can argue with that. I'd still wait to be out of the Champions League and out of that horrible run of fixtures before appointing the new guy (use a caretaker in the meantime), because a poor momentum makes it harder to get your ideas across, but it's all academic at the...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    I'm definitely not defending the idea that he should be kept after that. I used to think he should be given the season more to protect our reputation than out of hope he'd turn it around but after today, I don't think there's any point in prolonging this. Maybe he'll end up being the new...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    The only argument against appointing a new manager now is that the new guy would have to bed in in the middle of a terrible run of fixtures. I'm not sure that's the best way to get started at a club like Spurs. I'd let a caretaker take the fall for what will inevitably be a very depressing...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    It seems to be a recurring trend: Mourinho's and Conte's first seasons were better than the second, and it was painfully obvious with Postecoglou too. One explanation could be that all managers go through rough patches and you have to wait through them/back them when they do. It could have made...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    I'm afraid we can play the same way with Maddison, Kulusevski and Solanke. If anything, Solanke's return will probably make Frank believe spamming crosses into the box is the answer. Youngsters learn and progress by spending time on the pitch against quality opposition and in training, provided...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    I don't hate myself enough to look back any further than the Villa game but, although it was poorly done, there were quite a few instances where they cut through our team in their own half because we were - impotantly - trying to press closer to their box. It's disjointed and very poorly...
