Manager Merry-Go-Round
Re: Manager Merry-Go-Round
I think Thomas Frank is a good manager, but like Silva with us you can't be down in a relegation scrap and expect to keep your job.
Sounds like there's a lot of bad eggs in the Spurs dressing room and he never won them over... Bit too nice and instead of discipline and being in charge he let them get away with far too much.
He's the type of manager that given enough time I think he could have weeded out the problem players, instilled his system in to the team and done well... But you never get that chance if the wheels fall off.
Will be successful elsewhere, probably Palace next season. Not sure he'll ever get the chance at a larger club again though.

Re: Manager Merry-Go-Round
massive risk appointing a manager that only really knows Serie A
doesnt have a clue about the prem
and spurs constantly having a whole team out doesnt help
would like to see spurs and west ham stay up

Re: Manager Merry-Go-Round
For me, this is one of the best relegation battles in years (now that Everton aren’t involved!)
Re: Manager Merry-Go-Round
Yeah for all the frustrations about some of our team selections it's huge credit to Moyes that we can enjoy speculating about relegation candidates without the stress of us being one of them!Free Agent wrote: ↑Sat Feb 14, 2026 10:34 am For me, this is one of the best relegation battles in years (now that Everton aren’t involved!)
Given to the likelihood of quite a high points requirement to stay up compared to other seasons it's doubly pleasing we're not in the mix or in any danger of being dragged in to it.

Re: Manager Merry-Go-Round
Maybe because of the predictably at the top or all the years we've been down there but I find the relegation battle a lot more interesting than the parade at the top.Free Agent wrote: ↑Sat Feb 14, 2026 10:34 am For me, this is one of the best relegation battles in years (now that Everton aren’t involved!)

Re: Manager Merry-Go-Round
Only way they go down is almost if literally everything goes wrong for them, at least that is what it feels like to me.
West Ham lose their recent momentum, Spurs are probably safe.
Any sort of new manager bounce, Spurs are probably safe.
Get a few of their better players back from injury, again they're probably safe.
We'll see how it plays out though.

If he's saying stuff like that it says a lot about where his priorities are. Nothing stopping him walking...
... Apart from giving up a pay off!

In fairness his contract is up in a few months. His payoff is probably about 1m

Re: Manager Merry-Go-Round
I didn't even see this news and just saw him talking about it, Keith Andrews contract extended to 2032! Surely theres been enough one season wonders and flavour of the month managers to maybe be a bit more cautious about than hand him as long a deal.

Re: Manager Merry-Go-Round
Yeah I thought the same when I saw that, so many examples of someone having a good season off the back of the previous manager's work and then undoing it all because they weren't actually all that good.Gash wrote: ↑Sat Feb 28, 2026 2:24 pm I didn't even see this nut just saw him talking about it, Keith Andrews contract extended to 2032!
