Thomas Frank - Head Coach

Proof that some of our fans are absolute fcukwits.

Agreed. Pathetic!

I'm always thinking that Harry is the darling of the fans but not for the folks in the game itself. I think he is marmite to them. If he came to Spurs in the second half of the season to lend a helping hand, what exactly does he do? Does he become assistant manager or part of Frank's coaching team? Does Frank get to approve that? Does he get to circumvent the "typical process" and go straight to VV demanding Frank gets players? Does he just want players that Harry wants or will he represent his main stakeholder Frank? That's all a bit late now anyway with a few days left of the window.

Perhaps you should tell me in detail what Harry would be doing if he came back with Frank still in situ. It's obvious if Frank isn't, but nothing is obvious to me about bringing a marmite guy like Harry in when we have a structure in place.

You’ve somehow missed my point all over again…. Is it on purpose?

The point I was trying to make (I thought quite clearly but maybe not?) is that I doubt Frank is going to the board and demanding players (because he’s already hanging on to his job by the thinnest of threads) when he really needs to be doing that.

Honestly, at this moment in time I cannot think of a more comprehensive way that any group of decision makers could fudge things up.

The 'executive branch' have -

1) Left the manager for dead - they even BRIEFED against him to the media and then pulled back. Disgraceful. They have poor Frank literally clinging to a fuc-king shared lunchtime canteen sandwichfest as 'proof' he is 'supported'. FFS, whatever anyone thinks of his work, that is a disgraceful way to treat anyone.

2) Left the squad in turmoil by NOT addressing key needs.

3) Left the supporters wondering WTF is going on?

4) NOT taken ANY decisive action either way, instead choosing to hedge their bets and see where the cookie crumbles as it crumbles.

The problem is we barely have any cookie left because the bas-tard's been crumbling for a while now. So by the time this lot recognise there needs to either be unequivocal support or a sacking, we'll be out of the transfer window, drifting towards some nasty dogfighting, and showing no decisiveness whatsoever to our star players who might then seek a way out.

As much as I think he should be sacked, I would've much, much rathered they'd made some PROPER statements of support, GIVEN him more in the window with regards to supporting him, and said to all of us, like it or not, we are BACKING him at the very LEAST until the summer.

All this cowardly bet-hedging and indecisiveness is enormously damaging to both us and Thomas Frank.

It’s a good point isn’t it, that after West Ham the message was basically that they couldn’t confirm he’d be continuing, and then after the lunch it was a little bit more certain. The only mitigating thing I can think is that they wanted to have the lunch to see if HE wanted to continue? Otherwise I agree it’s a pretty shameful way to treat him.
