    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    They don't get a pass from me. They knew what this club was when they came in. Both thought they could break Levy/ENIC and both failed, whilst getting paid huge amounts. Never forget, Mourinho told Levy he could win with the squad Poch had at that time!!! Which was a lie.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    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...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    All in-house, yes. To the media? Strong words underlined with how 'big' we are. And sorry, whoever comes in for these vital games, so much smoke and glory up their arses (and to the world) that they believe they're prime Real Madrid (avec Ramos!). We don't have the time at this moment for...

    25/26 Injury and illness thread

    I have been on both them and the stadium pitch. I don't think the training ground pitches are an issue, albeit I appreciate the point you're looking to raise. Last time I went (and it has been about a year or so) the stadium and training pitches were calibrated to perform the same way. I think...

    New music?

    I thought the one album they did which was well produced was Rust In Peace. The rest have always been really thin sounding to me...he actually wrote one of the great thrash songs of the genre with "Hook In Mouth" which was subsequently cheapened nearly beyond enjoyment by bricky production. IMO...

    The training ground pitches were in excellent shape last I knew.

    Actions will always speak louder than words, of course. However, taking the action of speaking positive words is a massive step towards getting real actions/reactions from a dressing room. That is a proven fact in football (and, indeed, life). I absolutely disagree with the second bit...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Whoever comes in, here's what they should say, "This is a giant club having a tough moment. The talent here is unbelievable, the supporters here are among the best in football, the stadium is world class, we are in the Champions League, and we all need to take a deep breath and get back to who...

    OMT Spurs vs Geordies 7.30 Tuesday 10th Feb

    I don't think he will be picking the interim or next guy.

    It was about as bad as I've seen last night.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Of course mate. Essentially, they won a trophy, then saw themselves essentially being told they got lucky, that everything had to change, and that we were actually not 'building on a foundation' but were in the middle of a rebuild which was going to take a long time. Add to that pressers where...

    It was clear as day. One hopes to be wrong and one hopes it turns around, but that is hope and fandom speaking; the eye-test is generally solid.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I think these players have been sorely let down by management and board. They didn't display the ultimate mutiny (ignoring what he told them to do) and tried to apply those tactics until the final whistle last night. Some will be moved on, but I hope we can somehow convince the likes of Romero...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Indeed, The Telegraph is a rag and it is also yet another ingredient of what was going on coming to light. Someone/some people have fed that within hours. It's trashy but it isn't a lie. I said a few weeks back I was happy as a fan Romero spoke up, and that the club should've fined him, made a...

    Indeed mate, it will all come out. I think you have to look at VV and Lange as being equally culpable in allowing this horrorshow to continue beyond Xmas.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    This is one of the main issues (IMO) with a data-driven club. It needs such a solid structure and history of having evolved from that metric to work as its own entity. I am not saying data doesn't have a very important place; of course it does! But you need the intangibles of a football club...

    It will all come out now, but the eye and ear test told most of the story anyway... https://archive.ph/fPz9d
