Thomas Frank at Tottenham: another manager who has previously done well with direct football struggling to adjust to the demands of a bigger club. It basically never works, and clubs should probably stop trying it.

'Perhaps on some microcosmic level this is simply neoliberalism in action: the elevation of a gilded overclass who can never be wrong, whose decisions are always sacrosanct, whose mistakes can always be sacked away without explanation.' By @jonathanliew.bsky.social

“When I’m not here, I’m sure I’ll get the credit,” Levy said in his final interview as Tottenham chairman. Many supporters have got what they wanted but, in time, the big question will be whether Levy is proved right. Will fans really miss him when he's gone? Column: www.nytimes.com/athletic/659...

#thfc The inside story of the deal to take Thomas Frank to Spurs. Lange a long-time fan — but Levy drove the deal for his 13th permanent boss. Great detail by @jaydmharris.bsky.social. www.nytimes.com/athletic/642...
When USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino was asked about rumors linking him to Tottenham Hotspur, he said a return at this point in time was “not realistic.”
