    The Current State of Spurs (and some sympathy for Thomas Frank)

    Yeah, I've said since he broke through that there's more passes in Bergvall as he matures. He also needs a coach who can guide him; he is perfect for a Poch or Pep in that regard. You cannot create the presence and belief he naturally has.

    The Current State of Spurs (and some sympathy for Thomas Frank)

    On paper, IMO Palhinha was a buy that would give us steel and allow others to play more progressively. I always thought he'd be the liberation of Bergy and Gray in that regard, Sarr too albeit I think the first two have superior skill sets (Sarr is a great 'rover' and carrier). Add to this that...

    Thanks for that mate

    Daniel always wanted to remain as part of what ever new scenario/ownership there was so far as I understand it?

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Poch's Chelsea year was wildly underrated. He walked into a brickshow with 50 or so players to sift through and an identity to emboss. He was the one who forced the Caicedo signing, and he was the one who gave them a clear identity and purpose. Their run at the end of his season was scary. I was...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I'm done mate. 'A solid B star class passer from the nack' compared to 'lots of European football over the last couple of decades'? Let's just say I disagree. Further, your expanded stance-of-measure in impossible to either evaluate or quantify. And further, I'll say I think you're somewhat...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    This, mate, is why you are The Boss around here! Top man. And please please LMK if ever you feel I have edged into an uncomfortable spot. Hodd knows I must do, and I want to be sure to live up to this standard💙 p.s. this is why our forum is for me the best Spurs one out there. A proper online...

    Tell me more mate, interested in that history and am ignorant of it.

    The Current State of Spurs (and some sympathy for Thomas Frank)

    Absolutely. At the time he was hired I said he was the perfect manager for the way we behaved as a club (everything you've outlined)...which is where I could find sympathy for him. It's a bit like Sissoko really IMO. Sissoko was always Sissoko. He was never going to be Eriksen. However, what...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    No mate not IMO, it was a general observation and I include myself in such things; I am sure I can always do better when posting on strong-held opinions, and I trust folks here would hold me accountable if/when I go into an area that makes others feel bad. We don't all agree (thank christ!) but...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    FWIW I think you've always expressed yourself clearly. Unfortunately, it appears that discussions involving disagreement -or even nuanced views- with regards to Frank or the squad are too intolerable for some to engage in without resorting to either thin contempt or ridicule (seen this aimed at...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    So Yes, he could certainly play. Look at the quality of movement ahead of him; Dele, Sonny, Kane to name the main...I still think Romero is a better on the ball player. Pure defending? Toby was very solid, in a set-up designed to be he was great. BTW, I have not forgotten anything about the...

    The Current State of Spurs (and some sympathy for Thomas Frank)

    Trust me mate, if you've been reading my thoughts you'll see I am generally of that thought (albeit I do always want to believe the end result will be positive, that is far more important than being right or wrong as we all win). I do think it is interesting to view things from other...

    The Current State of Spurs (and some sympathy for Thomas Frank)

    Even before I saw @Mrs Vert 's comment about the chaos, I've been pondering the current state of the club and reflecting on just how hugely tough it has to be for Thomas Frank to deal with (in many ways hugely unfair). We changed managers after winning a trophy which always needs a degree of...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Sorry my friend, a joke too far for me (albeit not intended I know)...for clarity, this season's squad is stronger than last season's. It is a fact. We can go man for man if you want?
