Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

“Classy” because he has nice hair and never said a bad word about anyone, or a guy who told his truth after winning us a major trophy?

TF is classy like many of the politicians and CEOs out there who all talk a good game but when push come to shove they fold like a deck chair.
 
thats because he never "managed" a team with the same repetitive ignorance as the other guy

(how you doing @thfcsteff? I'll happily do this dance again ;) )

Up for this tango darlin'...the guy's history was written off, his nationality largely ridiculed, his achievements derided as 'farmer trophies' and when he won us our first in 41 years, it was dragged through all sorts of negative mitigation. Frankly (pun intended) I think the fact he wasn't as well-presented, handsome or media-friendly as Thomas cost him a lot (not meant as a sight on TF at all)...

OK baby, I just limboed, whatcha got? ;)

love you Steff, I never cared where he was born, how he spoke or what he wore, but never respected his palmares either, and passionately hated his attitude, and naivety, towards PL football

you can't play honest, pretty, attack focused football and be successful in the PL

you have to cheat, you have to be negative, you have to do what everyone else is doing

I’m fairly certain there’s a certain Spanish ex-PL manager and a German gentleman who may disagree with you. I could also offer a Scottish red-faced alternative if you’d like…

One of them qualified for Europe twice and won Spurs’ first trophy for 17 years and first European trophy for 41 years, the other had the worst points per game record of any permanent spurs manager in the PL (yes even worse than Christian Gross!)

Sir Alex did it in a different time.

The only Spaniards and Germans who have won the PL did it in an even more cynical manner imo.

I don’t know what football you were watching, or your idea of cynical, but many of Pep’s teams were a joy to watch. Klopp’s teams were front-foot, relentless and good to watch for the most part too.

I’ll thrown in Iraola and our own RDZ when at Brighton too. Both qualified for the EL playing excellent football while hampered by limited resources.

I’ll go further and say the only pragmatic and cynical teams to have won the PL recently are Leicester and the A***.

Pep spent 5bn quid, he should have won 10 CL’s and 25 PL’s for that.

Klopp gak’d his players up on peds.
