We asked for your views after Tottenham Hotspur's latest defeat by Newcastle United and you have had your say…
John: I have directions of every Championship club – anyone need them?
Sean: We are awful and will probably go down. Starting to play a bit better after 50 minutes is not good enough. The two teams below us are more up for the fight than we are. It’s sad and embarrassing, but the result of years of bad recruitment and appointments are now being played out on the pitch. We have a manger that doesn’t seem to know what direction the team should be going, and a captain that can’t be trusted.
Mike: Spurs should never have employed Thomas Frank and they have now kept him for too long. I can see him being sacked after the next match with Arsenal.
Tommy: Doomed. We’ve only mustered two wins in 17 league matches. The bottom three have all beaten us already (as have Nottingham Forest). We’re terrible at home and not much better away. We have 11 players out injured. We have a manager who, politely, seems out of his depth. We can’t pass. We can’t score. We point-blank refuse to defend the edge of our penalty area. Our captain gets sent off every week, and the only positive news the board has offered us is telling us about the players we’ve failed to sign. Other than that, we’re golden. Arsenal next…
Paul: As a Spurs fan, I think we are getting what we deserve after failing to give Ange Postecoglou another season. Frank was an underwhelming appointment and I am starting to dislike him! He is getting nothing out of this squad – forget the injury issue, we are in an eat, sleep, repeat mode! The football is simply awful – no style and seemingly little direction. Every first half is a nightmare. That is the manager’s fault! We are now closing in on a relegation battle and we need to change it up before it is too late. Xabi Alonso, Xavi and Oliver Glasner are out there and we need to think bigger for a wealthy club. It clearly wasn’t all Daniel Levy’s fault after all.
Jon: I’m a season ticket-holder. I don’t boo, I try to back the team – but there has to be something to back. We are getting worse and there is no pattern to the play. There is no plan. We have relegation written all over our form. The stadium now is just full of apathy. Everyone has lost hope. Thomas Frank has to go as it’s the only thing the board can change – and we must change something. I have no doubt where this fault lies – the ownership of the club. Years of bad planning in terms of squad building and a medical department that cannot keep players fit. We have no momentum, no clue and the players left out there think they are better than they are. Championship here we come!
