This is a manager hired by Daniel Levy to take an underpaid, underfunded, untested squad and try to do more with less. A manager known for scraping together mediocre success through negative football at a club with absolutely no pressure with players who aren’t at the top level. Since his arrival, he has looked completely out of his depth. Every word that comes out of his mouth seems to downplay the club. He appears to believe the task at Tottenham is the same as at Brentford, and that the cultural transformation required here is something he’s already done before. He’s coated off the fans on numerous occasions and somehow sees positives in what has been a truly horrendous period for us. He doesn’t get what it takes at this level, he has not understood the club at all, he has no idea who we are, what we expect or why we are angry, he simply hasn’t got a clue.
On the pitch, this squad looks worse and worse, losing at home to relegation fodder, no desire, no belief, no basics, no structure, no tactics, no anything. It was an unbelievably short-sighted appointment. Sacking a manager with the squad on his side for someone the polar opposite stylistically was an extraordinary decision. After 20-plus years of poor decisions, Daniel Levy’s legacy is there for all to see. It’s time the new CEO started selling his vision and project not just to the fans, but to a manager capable of delivering success at this football club.
If he’s sacked in the morning it will feel far too late, get out Frank.
