    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I think it’s one of those that people see as an emotional decision (getting back with your ex) but actually it’s entirely rational. And actually the emotions and incorrect, irrational decision at the time was to sack him in the first place. This was a clearly wildly talented manager with real...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Why do you think Poch returning is not a good idea? I think it was blindingly obvious he should never have been sacked, because the issues around the club at the time he was let go were not his fault. I also think there are just certain managers who just suit certain clubs. We are still...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    This is a good point, Ange was the odd one out and I think that probably shows he was never viewed as a long term appointment, rather a ‘what is the club crying out for right now’ choice because we needed leadership, unity, and even Levy said we wanted to get our Tottenham back. As a seperate...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    That’s so true. Data without context. That’s what this has felt like all along. I often assume when the club puts these sort of things in their press releases (eg results weren’t good enough from X date) that THEY know there was a lot of context behind what happened, but they put these things in...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    One other thing on the fact that Frank was so different to what came before, other than training, coaching, playing system and intensity, is motivation. Again this is not to say Frank cannot motivate. But it is abundantly clear he has a very different persona and style to the previous guy. And...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I think it’s now clear that the decision to sack Ange and replace him with Frank (one they had clearly made months in advance of actually executing it) is one of the most atrocious, miserably terrible decisions the club has ever made. And I don’t say this because I hate Frank, but because he...

    OMT Spurs vs Geordies 7.30 Tuesday 10th Feb

    Just a load of stuff was happening that doesn’t happen if things are ‘right’. Something is really off with this squad. Their head is not in the game. Frank will likely need to go but it’s beyond the manager when such basic mistakes are being made. For their offside goal, our two central...

    Terrible from Sarr for their goal. The guy who makes the header getting his own rebound.

    OMT Spurs vs Geordies 7.30 Tuesday 10th Feb

    Think the issue was that Bissouma pressed when he should have help. Saw that space opening a mile off and these are the reads our players need to be capable of if we are going to play a system that requires keeping the opposition out in large parts of games.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    You may well be right. As I say, if they double down on Frank this summer when Poch is available and seemingly conducting a PR campaign to get back to the job he never should have lost…then it really will be interesting!

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I think after the West Ham game they could have gone the interim route, because the season was over at that point. It got to the point where the results and the atmosphere were simply so bad that it would be easy to reach for the Mason lever if they so chose. I’m not sure why they didn’t if...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Very possible! I think it reached a point with me though where I was like ‘ok, results are terrible, the mood around the ground is darkening, the away fans are lost, we’re out of the domestic cups, we probably won’t win the CL, and yet he’s still here’ and that makes me think there might just...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Yeah I just think holding firm when our own fans are chanting ‘sacked in the morning’ at him is really interesting. At some point the board would surely start to wonder about attendances and season ticket sales if the plan was to get rid in the summer anyway. Honestly I think the whole club is...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    We were favourites to win the Europa and were in no danger of getting relegated, and we barely had 11 players to put on the pitch. I think they understood that sacking a manager to take over a squad with barely 11 fit players each game day was a waste of time. Now, they could have sacked Frank...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I’m just almost morbidly intrigued by the idea that the club is sticking with Frank. It’s interesting to think that they have a level of confidence in him that might pay off down the line. That they didn’t sack him after West Ham made me think they really believe in his project. It’s going to...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I agree with you that the next guy will likely have an easier ride, but I also think Frank would have an easier ride next season too. He would have all of those factors plus the benefit of not trying to transition the squad’s style of play and coaching experience. Part of me thinks, if the club...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I totally agree with you on this. Frank took over a 17th placed finishing team that finished 13 points above 18th, suffered an unprecedented injury crisis and still managed to win a European trophy by beating teams that have taken points off of eg Emirates Marketing Project this season. The idea that we were in...

    Think we are paying for that Udogie Dortmund performance. Once of his first games back and the joking afterwards that he was bombing up and down into the 96th min.

    It’s harsh and he has the potential to be great but this can’t keep going on. We’re getting absolutely nothing out of him at this point.

    ****Tottenham Hotspur v Man Utd********* OMT Official

    I think I agree with you. I’m not sure why it’s a red all day, in real time he’s clearing the ball and Casemiro sold it. Knowing it was Romero.
