Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

I will die on the hill of him being a decent coach. Nothing earth shattering, but a decent coach and (by most accounts) a good man who tried to get to know the staff and get the players to also get to know them.

But those types just don't work at Spurs. Never have, never will. You need to be a nutcase messiah. You need to believe, make everyone believe. And you need to have political acumen - at least, to the extent of navigating the backroom battles, keeping the fans onside, and keeping the players happy.

All those soft skills are where failed. He'll do well at a smaller club where things are set up like they were at Brentford - where the coach is just a cog, and not an important one.
He imo failed at more things than one. I agree he seems like a decent coach, just how good imo remains to be seen.

He has done really well at one club, in one set of circumstances. About as well suited to us as a seagull brick into a summer's dessert.

Luckily for him and us it didn't end in a complete disaster, but the longer it is until we make another appointment like him the better.
 
Eh?, I'm talking about the kids you coach football.

Yeah, youth football is a different sport to PL football, it’s a game, to be enjoyed fairly by all with respect for those involved.

PL football is not a game, it’s a business, an aggressive one where only the result matters.

Two distinctly different coaching attitudes and approaches.
