With the run of games coming up between now and the end of February the only chance of picking up points is against Burnley. By the end of that run we will be in a relegation battle, especially if we drop points against Burnley.

People are allowed to make a mistake, it’s cowardly continuing with it and not owning up to it and making a change.
Come on?! He has to go. And whoever was responsible for deciding he was the best person to appoint in the first place needs to consider their own position. Though no doubt that’ll be pinned on Levy.

I don't think a Mason or up and coming coach could cut it. Has to be a more experienced head to steady the ship. Whoever it is, they have a decent defense, a potentially decent midfield but it needs building with Gallagher and Bissouma new players effectively. Neither totally up to speed yet. And somehow they have to get a tune out of our backup attack.

Curious to know which parts of our season still lead you to believe “he will come good”?
Genuine post, not a dig at you.
For me, it’s the “continuing to do the same but expecting a different outcome” that is my main reason for wanting TF gone now. We were told he is tactically astute etc. but all I see is the same system week in, week out just with different players but still producing the same result.
In any other business you would change the inputs to alter the outputs. If he can implement a different playing style then, sure, give him more time but I haven’t seen anything to suggest that is going to happen.

Do you think managers have clauses in their contracts that say something like: if placed lower that 15th in the PL table after Xmas you can be sacked with £1m payoff only.
Would make sense. Agents might argue against it, but CL big clubs would say: look you’re a great manager, there’s no way you’ll be in this position, and if you are you will deserve to go.
I’d certainly have something like this in the contract, and any manager unwilling to sign i would question their ambition and confidence in their ability.
(Yes injuries is a logical caveat and issue outside a managers gift).

They should be provided with parameters which indicate what’s acceptable for them with the club. Surely there should be appropriate clauses

Indeed.
And if my wife leaves me it would be amazing if Winona Ryder and Susannah Reid move in.

Would those still backing him accept that if he’s still here next week and we lose to Burnley then he HAS to go immediately after?

Chris Waddle
that depends how we play, how we lose (the premise of the question), how the game was officiated
similarly, would any kind of win, mean he HAS to stay?

The only argument against appointing a new manager now is that the new guy would have to bed in in the middle of a terrible run of fixtures. I'm not sure that's the best way to get started at a club like Spurs. I'd let a caretaker take the fall for what will inevitably be a very depressing sequence and try to look like a hero if the new manager can turn things around in March.

I'm a patient guy, and I think clubs are sacking managers way too soon, way too often. But I can't remember seeing us this bad ever, and it's getting worse by the week! I don't like to say it, but I think we need to get rid of Frank. The squad should be able to do a lot better than what we see now! And there is no improvement, in fact it's getting worse!

I think we were way worse last season.
United put a caretaker in for first 2 games of City & Scum, and they are already ahead.
We aren't going to win brick with Frank, so even a 10% chance of getting something from those games is upside

We had a way of playing, and at least looked dangerous when we attacked. We just look utter brick now, with no plan whatsoever! And just as bad defending!

A really stupid way of playing.
We looked like we could concede in any situation from anywhere on the pitch.
We are defending much better this season, because we are actually defending.
We'll have to agree to disagree on this, I had deep passionate hatred for how we were setup to play last season.

The myth of Angeball persists for some.
Go back and watch the tie against Telford in last season’s FA Cup (amongst many other examples) and remind yourself of how utterly, utterly shi t and clueless we were.
