Thomas Frank’s dreadful Spurs spell is latest example that managers simply can’t change style Tottenham's decision to sack Thomas Frank isn't just bad news for Thomas Frank, it's bad news for managers like him too...

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.

Don’t blame Tottenham fans if they want Manchester City to win. Blame the club Sunday’s game brings with it an unsettling sense of deja vu for some Spurs fans — but they should not be blamed if they feel conflicted

What does Ruben Amorim know compared with Sir Jim, Jason Wilcox and the gilded overclass? | Jonathan Liew In Manchester United’s brave new world coaches are more like Deliveroo drivers: not really responsible for the food, but still to blame if it arrives cold

'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

Daniel Levy, an uncertain Tottenham legacy, and what next after his sudden departure?

“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...

Thomas Frank’s new-look Tottenham first-team staff: Who does what? Seven weeks on from Bilbao, Tottenham's first-team staff looks very different - so how will it all work?

⚪️ Thomas Frank has a huge backroom staff at Spurs

Five people have followed him from Brentford while there have been internal promotions and other external hires

So who are all these new faces and how will they complement each other?

How does Thomas Frank fix Spurs’ defence? And will Cristian Romero be part of the solution? Tottenham have two elite central defenders but their injury records mean Frank needs to coax improvements from the entire defensive unit

Will Thomas Frank's Tottenham be less dependent on their star centre-backs?

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.”
