I cant see what the fuss is about this feller. He's a no frills meat and potatoes manager who's never had expectation levels to deal with.

PMSL if Spurs have got him in.

The trophy was the last thing he did - I’m talking about before that.

They'd have hit the roof if they'd pulled another mourinho masterstroke sacking a manager on the eve of a final.

spurs have been their own worst enemy for a while.

I don’t think you’re understanding what I’m saying.

Cant stand Spurs and hope they go out of existence.

If the world didn't contain Liverpool, Villa, Newcastle and Spurs I'd just take up crown green bowls and ride a bike all day without a care for football.

Very droll.

That's always the issue and risk when taking managers from the likes of Brentford or Bournemouth. There is never any jeopardy at those clubs so every game is a bonus and a (ugh) 'free hit'. The fans are just happy to be there and have spent more times in the bottom two league to actually have ideas above their station about what they should be achieving. Its always why defeats are shrugged off as to be expected. The further up the chain you go and no defeat is acceptable, whoever you're playing, and more decisions are scrutinised. You're no longer a manager who is willing to roll the dice and go down fighting in a great 4-3 defeat, but a manager who turns to his bench in desperation, cannot keep a clean sheet, is far too open, and doesn't know his best line-up in a 4-3 defeat.

It's the small margins and why managing clubs with a fanbase that demands more is always tough. I'm no fan of Tottenham but I hope they give him time, but they are unlikely to.

There’s absolutely no way this fella lasts the holíday season.

A man who owns one watch knows exactly what time it is, a man who own two is never quite sure.

I think some manager do well with limitations, low expectancy, small squads.
Give them the keys to the playground and they struggle.
Moyes going to Man U
Potter to Chelsea
Rinse and repeat

He must be feeling the pressure, what with a poor run and Gareth Southgate waiting in the wings.

Feel like Spurs fans gave way more leeway to Ange for worse form.

Charm goes a long way

Thought he was a bellend myself personally but they loved him

Sound bytes and platitudes. Spurs fans fancy themselves as playing the game the "right way", Frank is a pragmatist. Evertonians, apart from Dave, would like him.

Is Frank under any pressure from the board/fan base @Yid4life

Not the board but the fans are revolting.
