    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    In a corporate world, Lange wouldn't survive. Reality is Frank's performance would have come under question in November/December, probably 2 more times before final decision. If Lange (and Vinai) had said in November, "hey, this guy isn't what we expected/hoped, we made a mistake, lets punt...

    Good to see, gym work is still a long way from grass. Maddison has been on the grass for almost a month now IIRC, but still outside chance of seeing them this season Would be a bonus to have them for last 5 games, hopefully we don't really need them for it.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Frank is like Potter, Iraola, Silva, Glasner, etc. Managers who's achievements at lesser clubs have given them the right/shot at being considered for bigger roles. But like when you interview people, the CV gets you the interview, the interviewers need to pick up the things that cannot be...

    Igor the Interim

    The talk is he was on Paratici's list and when Vinai/Lange were instructed to fire Frank (they were going to keep him), they fell back to Paratici's last list .. if true, tells the mess we are in

    Interim Manager Discussion - Igor Tudor joined until end of season

    So many people online have the weirdest sense of "people won't take this/that gig". As you rightly said, it would be biggest job of his career, probably a couple of million with some bonus if we stay up (so maybe 3 years salary). Any mid-higher tier manager would bet on getting 4 wins out of...

    There is audio of Greenwood and Party just has had other charges added. You draw the line when any such interaction with players brings the club into disrepute, there is no requirement of a legal conviction to have a moral/ethical standpoint.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    At Napoli and still burning out in first rounds in European competitions, still talking brick about his employers. His ego thinks he should be managing Real/Barca/City/Bayern, jobs he won't get. Edit: To be clear, I still think he's a good football manager, but Spurs was a reality check for...

    Interim Manager Discussion - Igor Tudor joined until end of season

    I think our squad needs a combination of a bit of a hardass, but also someone to respect, Tudor has been a top level player and managed big clubs (bigger clubs than Dyche) I think he's very interesting and his career is very consistent, he comes in, makes an impact (don't know enough to say if...

    Tudor is supposedly a Paratici call (talk is Vinai/Lange went to Paratici's old short list) Positives -> His speciality seems to be short term impact, he does well early in appointments, it seems to fade in long run. He also got RKM to work well for him. He plays a tempo game, and he's managed...

    Our signings since the Champions League final

    Utterly fair re availability, but the thread was about our signings post 2019, not specific to who is available now.

    Interim Manager Discussion - Igor Tudor joined until end of season

    3 wins and 2 draws would be safe, likely 3 wins alone would be good enough. I think a lot depends on the start, 3 good results in that first 5 could give the team the confidence to push on, especially if we get a few players back for final 4 games (Kudus, Maddison, Porro). Would be really good...

    Our signings since the Champions League final

    Talking about the CL final brings into play a whole other conversation - Poch (and no, don't want to discuss) and certain players had burnt out, Eriksen, Toby, Jan were done, Dembele was gone, Son and Kane were close to peak, so long term rebuild needed But discussing the players we have, said...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I disliked Conte because he thought he was bigger than us, and it got worse when his ego wouldn't accept, he no longer was the manager he was at his prime, so he lashed out at everything. Like all liars, there was a little truth in the blame/deflection, but the real truth is he was a busted...

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    Entirely different conversation, hence why I mentioned earlier I disagreed with our recruitment but not in the way most others did. I think Romero, VDV, Xavi, Gallagher, Deki, Bentancur, Porro, Udogie, Vuskovic all show where we should spend our money. Take the money we spend on Richi...

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    No, and that's why you have to be very careful with what you take from their post failure PR spin. Yet my point is, so many Spurs fans have lapped up what Jose & Conte (professional narcissists and deflectors) and Ange has just said as "gospel truth" without a single question back e.g. How...

    The Overlap - some interesting comments from Ange

    The bigger issue is the lack of strategy/objectives - Personally I think the club stuttered under Levy because his overarching goal in first 20 odd years was to get us in and around top 4, and when we got there, some combination of not knowing what to do next (or how to do it) and financial...
