Frank sacked.

Clearly they were worried about relegation then if they stuck it out with Frank.

Timing sucks though, won't get a big name now, so will some interim save them? That's still a huge risk.

Spurs at 29 points, NF at 26 with a game in hand and hammers at 24 in the relegation zone at 18th.

Any other club should be worried about it.

I just can't wrap my head around how Frank was unsuccessful here

Frank...Ange....Nuno....Conte....Mourinho....is it really all that shocking?

Several reasons in my opinion. In no particular order:

1. lack of any semblance of an attack,

2. injuries; long-term: Maddison, Deki, and Solanke, and short-term: Porro, Richarlison, Bentancur, Kudus, Danso, Udogie, Bergvall, Davies.

3.players seemed to give up on him (VdV & Spence brushing him off), Tel wanting to leave in January,

4. fans gave up on him quickly,

5. poor transfer business. Selling your top scorer (when you're struggling to score) and then the bad luck of Kudus getting injured immediately afterward. And not bringing in any attacking help up top?


1 and 2 may be related. If you consider them to be, then the transfer window should have been a high priority.

Igor Tudor agrees to become Spurs' interim manager

meh but that's what i expected just a horrible time to snag a coach for longterm and short term options are limited and meh.

Obv I hope it works and we stave off relegation to bring Pochettino back in summer after WC.

he was killed by injuries, but even when he had the full roster on the field the team just had no idea what to do in the final 3rd. Just endlessly pass the ball around the box until there is a low percentage cross or a turnover. Just nothing up the middle. If we scored it was because a CB got fed up and wondered into the box unmarked.

I'd take any of the last 4 managers styles over franks.

Did he ever really have the full Spurs roster to work with?
