    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    The interim manager needs to have immense self-confidence and to transmit that to the players. To remind them that they ARE great players who were shackled by a useless manager, but can now be great again. Its just about confidence. If the 11 play as a team, that would be a huge improvement...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I suspect that the huge pressure he was facing, made Frank into a worse manager than he should have been. Made him make bad decisions. The midfield last night was a disaster from minute one. I am not an expert (which some on here are to be fair) but it was clear that whatever system Frank was...

    Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

    Key characteristic was probably which sucker won't cost much in wages and won't give us a hard time when we don't spend any money on players??

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    This is now a psychological motivational job. Tactics only matter up to a point at this stage. Belief, confidence, license, energy are the ingredients for the syringe That's it in a nutshell. The players know that this manager is dragging them down. They need someone to take the pressure off...

    Interim Manager Discussion

    the main problem is we have no quality forwards, So so true. We have no goalscorers. No-one who can score from outside the box. I'm amazed we let Scarlett go on loan. The lack of investment in decent goalscorers is bizarre: we once had Berba, Keane and Defoe in the same team. Now we have Dom...

    If and when we get relegated he'll be gone soon enough.

    OMT Spurs vs Geordies 7.30 Tuesday 10th Feb

    We are in a death spiral, playing terribly with 11 barely fit players. Are there any rules we can exploit to get fresh players in? Emergency cover or anything???????????

    OMT Spurs vs Geordies 7.30 Tuesday 10th Feb

    I thought the fans were pretty good in the first half. Quite a few empty seats but those who were there did ok. Lots of COYS chanting. But Jesus wept, the football, our football, was just awful.

    OMT Spurs vs Geordies 7.30 Tuesday 10th Feb

    Just home and did something I have never done before and hope never to do again. I walked at half time. Why? Our midfield set up was horrible. Sarr looked lost. Spence look lost and there was zero attacking threat on the left. I have backed Frank till now but that set-up was on the manager. We...

    OMT Spurs vs Geordies 7.30 Tuesday 10th Feb

    Right then, the team who can't win at home against the team who can't win away. Another "El Sackico"..... Doctor Tottenham to cure Saudi Sportswashing Machine's blues and keep Eddie Howe in a job? or Frank's team to get a vital win, keep us out of the relegation battle and keep the Geordies moaning. Apparently...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Don't we need to see how the next month or two pan out before writing off the manager? We've seen what a huge difference Solanke makes. Xavi has started to get to grips with the Premier league, Odobert is improving, even if he is better off as a sub. Sure, if we lose the next 3 and don't put up...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I suppose that the board intend to keep him on until the end of the season and go for Pochettino after the World Cup to appease the fans. Considering they only weakened the squad over the past few weeks, it's hard to believe he has a future at the club beyond this season. I hope you're wrong...

    Archie Gray

    He is a huge reason for feeling confident about our future....we've suffered this season for having so many young players, but as the season continues, this team might just start to click...and when they do, it will be great to watch.

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Emirates Marketing Project, Sunday Feb 1 KO - 4.30pm***

    Rodri moaning and whining about the first goal is pathetic. Professionalism at it's worst. It would have been a travesty if the goal was chalked off for that. Is there a tiny tiny technical infringement? Maybe but it's irrelevant when a striker does so well to ward off two defenders. The spirit...
