Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

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 nowhere.

Honesty is not always stating the obvious.
Why do people forget that he came into a club which had just won it's first major trophy in decades?
It's the equivalent of a restaurant winning a Michelin Star only for a new owner to come in and say, during his first press conferences, "There will be some bad meals from time to time, that's life, it happens..."

Your last sentence bears so true behind the scenes, and those are the echo chambers this club should've resolved a long time ago. Levy got hammered but he was essentially acting under orders from the Lewis family. They are now in charge and seeing how deep the issues are. AND that their behaviour has been part of the problem.

Just seeing pull quotes from Ange's Neville podcast. None of it surprises me, much of it I'd heard.

I'd prefer my boss to say that sometimes things are going to go wrong but we'll deal with that and move on positively, rather than saying they expect constant perfection.

Anyhow, it was a throwaway comment. As is usual nowadays, the 24 hour news cycle means there's no such thing any more.

I do feel that both our last two managers have been badly treated by the club when it comes to PR advice. They've both made pretty basic errors which those in authority should have been helping them to avoid.

A point you know I've been making for a long time. Not to much agreement too often it has to be said...
