"We were still in a good position when I arrived, but now we are doing things in a different way. We try to be an attacking, offensive team. We want to take the game into our own hands, believe in ourselves and believe in our feet rather than the opponent. "We have gone from being mid-table in possession to being the team with the most ball, from creating fewer chances to creating the most chances in open play and scoring the most goals. Possession alone does not win games, but it is connected to how we believe we can be most successful."
Big clubs perform best when they appoint a coach with a track record of playing ‘the right style’ of football within the Premier League, with a foreign club, or even — being charitable to Enzo Maresca’s performance with Chelsea, as he did win two trophies — in the Championship. The most damning thing about Frank’s experience is that this is the season when the Premier League has gone ‘old-school’, and his approach still seemed too basic for Tottenham. The next case study could be Oliver Glasner. His performance at Crystal Palace has been exceptional, and in highlights form, Palace play very entertaining football. But last season and this season, his side has averaged the fourth-lowest possession share in the league, and have the lowest pass completion rate. Can Glasner adjust his methods to the demands of a bigger club? The overwhelming evidence suggests not, and there are reasons to think that Glasner, while favouring a different style of football to Frank, may face similar problems if appointed by a big club this summer.

Headline from NewsNow… “Tottenham Hotspur will leave the club in the summer”
Thomas Frank’s comment last Friday that the squad was weaker than at the beginning of January was based on the injuries which have piled up and was not a slight on the club’s transfer business. That, in headline terms, has seen Conor Gallagher sign and Brennan Johnson depart. Spurs have also added the 19-year-old left-back prospect Souza. Since the window opened, there have been significant injuries to Mohammed Kudus, Rodrigo Bentancur, Richarlison, Ben Davies, Lucas Bergvall and Pedro Porro (in that order). Frank made clear that short-term fixes on the market were not an option. The club aimed high, trying to get Semenyo and Andy Robertson. The former opted to go from Bournemouth to Manchester City and Liverpool would not sell the latter.
The party added: “A passionate Spurs Fan, Lord Triesman became the first patron of the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation and the first independent chair of the FA (Football Association) from which platform he advocated intensely against racism in football and for the increased centrality of the women’s football. “He later played an important role in the exposing of corruption within Fifa.”
