I’d have given him a lifetime contract

13.02.2026 15:23 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Absolutely. And hopefully it does. They’d deserve it just as we would if we went down that route.
11.02.2026 15:48 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0There is but it’s city’s way. Hire the world’s best manager, outspend everyone by a factor of five. We can’t do that.

Maybe glory will be back
It would be very easy to sit hear being delighted that Spurs have sacked Thomas Frank after a mind-bendingly terrible season that perfectly illustrated the underlying rot pervading all levels of the club so that’s exactly what I’ll be doing, yes, thankyou

11.02.2026 10:09 — 👍 126 🔁 22 💬 15 📌 3What great football insight do you have to know more than anyone else that this is a bad decision? You mentioned general dorection: 4th in the league, best away record, most open play goals, unbeaten in the CL, 2nd best GD... Come on, that is the right direction for the start of a new manager!
01.11.2025 22:51 — 👍 0 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0No, winning the Europa league and having a bunch of happy, together players is what made sacking the last guy wrong.
10.02.2026 21:20 — 👍 18 🔁 2 💬 3 📌 0Given he unites the fan base like probably no one else could, save the reincarnation of Bill Nicholson, it’s something of a risk for the owners. If they fail to back Poch again, there will be nowhere to hide.
08.02.2026 14:34 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Arsenal was the moment. Complete surrender in that game. Proved this was never going to work.

29.01.2026 18:33 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Surprised he hasn't been mentioned as a caretaker. He said in his book he'd love to come back even in short spell. He's only 68. Hodgson hadn't even started his last spell at Palace by that age.

17.01.2026 18:34 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0There is no example of the type of manager he is scaling to the big 6 from mid table. I am surprised people thought it would.
17.01.2026 15:59 — 👍 0 🔁 1 💬 2 📌 0Exactly. We’re told we’re looking for an absolute truth that just doesn’t exist.
