Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

What they say doesn't matter, it's what they do that does.

What the new man says in public matters little, it's what he says through players in private and the instructions he gives them on the training field that matters.

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 bold-faced, especially in the modern era where initial perception is (almost sadly) everything. It is absolutely vital that whoever comes in says the 'right' things in public, if only to warm the stands up and get people believing. Obviously the second part stands as fact, but it is not seperable from the first bit. ALL of it is important, it all forms the overall temperature and attitude.

Give Joe Root two bats, he'd still be brick.

"Frank had arrived at Tottenham with a “no d---heads” policy that he cultivated at Brentford, but implementing that in north London was not as easy as he might have anticipated or liked."

Tell me we've got a squad full of dingdongheads without telling me we have a squad full of dingdongheads. Unbelievable...

I hear you. Such is our need then, and with apparently such very limited viable options, we'd best hope that he doesn't stay where he's at, or get his head turned by someone else, that he doesn't move back to South America, or that he simply just retires, etc.
Of course, our current Board saw fit to interview more than 30 candidates last time so maybe they see it differently

Just the fact that we had as many as 30 candidates tells me how badly run we are. The fact that we thought it was a good thing to actually publicise the fact that we had absolutely no idea of who should take over from Ange and no immediate shortlist just highlights that fact even more.

An absolute shambles. The opposite of how well run clubs like Brighton or Bournemouth or, dare I say it, the Woolwich Wanderers are run.

I suspect we also have no idea who we’ll bring in now either, despite the fact that we’ve had a 3 month run up of seeing how appalling Frank was.
