    Rest assured that once he's come and gone, it will be Ange. 'Only manager to win something for us in a decade', etc.

    As is so often the case, it's probably a mix of different things, although we will never know for sure. If anything, Frank's failure and this season's results show the quality of Brentford's set up. I remember reading an in-depth feature about it a few years ago. Apparently, it's based on FC...

    We even had a few good results at first but nobody could ever tell what the project was. We weren't outrunning the opposition. We didn't keep the ball well but we weren't a good counter-attacking team either. We weren't that good at crossing. We couldn't pass the ball. Then he lost control of...

    Frank is a very special in that he's the first Spurs manager in a long, long time whose profesionalism and ability look questionable. Some of the others you liked, disliked, some lost control of the situation or were just plain wrong but at least, you could see what they were trying to achieve...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Atletico Madrid ***

    I agree with @Robspur12 that it's too early to get carried away but still, credit where it's due: a) second good performance in a row and b) let's face it, we've been a laughing stock ever since Tudor arrived. If we slag off the players when they let their heads down, we also have to tip their...

    Micky van de Ven

    There's a reason why we were able to sign him in the first place: he's got a very specific set of characteristics that made him well-suited for Angeball (until he got injured at least). It would make sense for a team like Barcelona to sign him. He might even do well there, if they continue to...

    One of the positives from yesterday is that Tudor admitted he simplified things. It's not necessarily good news in the long run because you'd expect professionals to be able to use his system but credit to him to be willing to do what it takes to get results, despite not having his assistant...

    +++OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool+++

    Most important thing for me is that we scored very late in the game which, at least, makes you feel like the players kept on fighting despite everything that has been going on against us in recent weeks. No suicidal defending either. Our attacking play remains very limited and the challenge...

    I don't think many of us feel like laughing right now when talking about Spurs.

    +++OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool+++

    A year ago, around this time, we were just as poor a team as we are now but at least during the Europa League games, we defended doggedly and that's how we went all the way and won it. It's not the greatest competition in the world and we didn't face some of the best teams but if the players...

    People will make fun of the headline, but you can't complain about the lack of confidence in the squad and laugh at the players when one of them actually tries to instill some belief.

    +++OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool+++

    It seems the whole club his hell bent on committing suicide but still... one win - particularly a win at Anfield - could completely change our momentum.

    He's a weird character. It's a bit rich for him to talk someone down considering he wasn't exactly stellar for us but I guess, unless things change drastically, he'll be able to say that he at least managed to avoid the drop.

    Apparently, he gave an interview somewhere saying he won't give the usual speech about the need to work together, regroup, etc and that he's having a hard time coping with the situation. That's where you need to draw the line, I think. As a human being, nothing, not even such a horrible event...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    Basically, there's three options left at this stage: 1- Consider the players are getting a grip of Tudor's tactics (despite the atrocious result, last night's performance was a slight improvement) 2- Get someone who will try to talk the players out of this mess by building up their confidence...

    We should sign the best sports psychologist money can buy, put him/her in charge of the team and let Mason take charge of the actual training. If anything, Tudor's failure proves that we won't get out of this mess with tactical sophistication. Either we get the few players we have left to focus...

    OMT Spurs v Athletico

    I wonder what crimes we committed in a past life to end up supporting this club... Whatever happens - and each week, it gets harder to imagine a happy end - we need a tabula rasa at the end of the season.

    Igor the Departed

    Ha! Thanks for the kind words but it does look like I let myself down if it appears like there's a contradiction in my posts! It's possible that I got my ideas completely wrong, but up until the turn of the century, I'd say the manager was doing a bit of everything: tactics, training...

    Then I suppose he's happy to change formation and his whole line-up from one game to the next? I don't watch Chelsea at all, so maybe he does, but I very much doubt it. There was a guy who was famous for using lots of players and different formations when I was a kid... Howard Kendall, maybe...
