Thomas Frank is still not sacked by Tottenham despite a horrible season! They aren't competing in the Europa League either which could have been a second chance to qualify for the Champions League.

They are 14th in the Premier League now. They haven't won a single game for 7 weeks... What are they waiting for? I would have already sacked him if I were them.

LMAO! look at how Ange has better WR than Frank, but he's sacked. I'm not doubting it's the board who must be responsible over this. I see many used squad injury as excuse, but come on! Frank already spent hundreds million for the new players since he's arrived.

Is not it enough to helping him? I think it's. So it's the best time to sack him asap. They really desperate in the need of a new manager bounce. They can sign a proper manager that can help the squad.

They shall have done it before it's too late. Chelsea and MU shall give them motivation to do that. If they keep him until the end of season, i won't be surprised if they're gonna finish at 17th same as last season.

He should have been sacked yes and so should Arne Slot. It annoys me every day that Slot hasn’t been sacked yet: We spent over £400m in the summer and somehow it’s made us worse. We might not even qualify for the CL now which was unthinkable at the start of the season.

There is no other choice for Tottenham management because replacing the coach in the middle of the season would actually be even riskier, and I see that Tottenham seems to be focusing only on the Champions League at the moment, which is proven by the impressive performance shown by Tottenham in that competition. So I think that is a big reason why Thomas Frank has not been fired until now, even though in the Premier League competition they are already struggling badly.

Hahaha 28% win rate for a coach who handles a team like Spurs that has quality players, it's funny.
Without us realizing the Spurs pattern is similar to their performance last season, performing poorly in the premier but stunning in other championships, last season they won the Europa League and this season in the UCL they managed to qualify automatically for the last 16 after ending up in the top 4. It is possible that the management took this into consideration and did not think of sacking Frank immediately. But of course the European league and UCL are completely different, so management should have considered that step and looked for a replacement for the coach, at least to save Spurs from the same results as last season, which is almost close to relegation.

I wonder why they haven't fired Thomas Frank yet. What do Tottenham expect from him? Even Postecoglou, who delivered the title, was fired after just two weeks because Tottenham were performing poorly. Tottenham's management often fires managers when results don't improve, but somehow, despite Thomas Frank's clearly poor performance, they still retain him.

My only reservation about Ademola Lookman is his age. He is twenty-eight and might be reaching the end of his exceptional career. So Atletico Madrid might be taking a big risk buying him at that amount, but if the Nigerian can be able to sustain his performance for two or more season, it would be a big boast for his new club. Lookman is a player that can a game individually.

Actually, 28 is still considered a productive age for a football player. The question is whether Lookman can compete with the star players there for a starting spot. I suspect Lookman will only be a substitute at Atletico Madrid because it's difficult to displace Julián Alvarez.

28 is nothing in todays world, Kane moved to Bayern when he was like 30-31 years old if I am not wrong and he is already scoring more goals than anticipated and could break records there too, I mean except what Lewandowski did of course.

Lookman could very well be very profitable move for Atletico Madrid, he could be their left winger for the rest of the season if he plays good and that would make sense, only if he plays well. The problem is that until he was 28, he did not move to a big club, and that makes people question, if he has what it takes, not because of his age, but because if he was so talented, then he would have showed it up already until this age. But I think its just luck, and now that he is here, he will do fine.

Sacking Thomas Frank from his position? Seeing Tottenham Hotspur performance in Champion League success finish at top fourth standing I don't think has reason why sacking him as Spurs manager although not perform quite well in Premier League. I think the management have an exceptional why not sacking Thomas Frank because has promising performance can bring Tottenham Hotspur qualifying directly to knock out round in champion league how many top teams this season finish outside the top 8 standings.
In premier league, Tottenham Hotspur winning 7 of 25 games but has many matches left get opportunity for Spurs raise the Europe League spot standings, I think decision to sack Frank depend the result on Champion League knock out round, if spurs can existing until the higher round seems his position keep secure.

Yup I am also sure Ronaldo will not go to Manchester United they are at peak performance certainly don't want to change anything. I heard rumors regarding MLS interest in signing Ronaldo yeah the old plan was to combine Ronaldo and Messi but I doubt the Saudi League will let him go, we can guess that Saudi League will lose its prestige if Ronaldo really leaves and of course the League owners don't want that to happen. I suspect they will hold out on Ronaldo until Saudi Arabia hosts the next World Cup because this has been their plan for several years, we will hear the news soon.

The MLS would be the best alternative for Ronaldo since they almost have thesame quality as the SPL. He wouldn't be able to match the demands of the top European Leagues. If he keeps trying to influence the Gulf League, they would have no other option than to let him leave.  Ronaldo has already given the SPL enough publicity. The League organisers can build on it and keep advancing the League. They could also get another popular player to the SPL.

Ronaldo is in Saudi Arabia also because he is supposed to be the image for the World Cup they are going to host in 2034. If he leaves now, or in the incoming months, it means something between Ronaldo and the Saudis went wrong, and it could have repercussions also for the future agreements. It's a tricky situation for everyone because on one side there Ronaldo who, almost by himself, put Saudi football on the map, and he knows what he is worth; on the other side there are some of the richest people on earth who are used to hear only "yes sir" because of their money, so when somebody stands up, they don't like it.

......

Well, age doesn't matter because right now I have seen so many players who are 30+ but still performing super brilliant. So age is just a number, the real thing which matter a lot is the player performance. If his performance is good then it okay and if he didn't make any good performance then probably his young age is nothing except number. Ademola Lookman is 28 year and I think it still quite good because this age is still productive for true footballer....

Besides that, now it will totally relay on Ademola Lookman, whether he prove himself to great or not like if he wants to get big individual achievement then apparently he would need to make something good for his team.

Inasmuch as Thomas Frank has been terrible in the EPL, I don't know how he is doing it but he is striving in the Champions League, imagine he qualified straight to the round of 16 playoffs, and the management is probably banking that he might perform some unexpected miracle and actually secure a place at the final or probably win it. But it's safe to say they should find a new gaffer because he is not doing it for them.

He should have been sacked yes and so should Arne Slot. It annoys me every day that Slot hasn’t been sacked yet: We spent over £400m in the summer and somehow it’s made us worse. We might not even qualify for the CL now which was unthinkable at the start of the season.

Hahaha … sorry to you as a Liverpool fan but Arne Slot is not getting sacked anytime soon, Yes Liverpool were big on the last transfer window spending lots of money and bringing in lots of players but most aren’t yielding anything but Slot won the league in his first season and I think that’s why the board is still keeping him.

For Thomas Frank maybe Tottenham is expecting him to do well in the champions league as they did in the Europa League last season, it’s a bit dicey to sack him right now though, his UCL performance is quite good maybe he can get them to a level where they’ll rip some good money.

Sadly, Tottenham Hotspurs head coach Thomas Frank will not be seen sacked this season. These failures where seen expected and anticipated by the management, so that all they do is back Thomas Frank with the good enough players for rebuild and the job.

A position we've all gone through last season, but he Thomas Frank is not a Manchester United manager and will never be but look at how he's been greatly excited

Well, here is the first thing that Cristiano Ronaldo didn't prestige the Saudi Arabia league. Only money made the Saudi Arabia side because I saw many players who still have a young age but still they accept the Saudi Arabia side invention because they offer them a huge money.... Cristiano Ronaldo himself accepted a money rather than a prestigious competition. So it doesn't make sense than Cristiano Ronaldo prestige the Saudi Arabia side....

Moreover, if we talked about Cristiano Ronaldo rumors then obviously he won't agree to return to the European football. Despite the MLS link up will definitely make a sense because all over the world including me have a big dream to see these two GOAT in one frame.

Regardless of what happens going forward and how far they can progress in the Champions League, Tottenham management may have to consider that sacking Thomas Frank would require spending more money. First, they would need to pay compensation, and second, they would have to recruit a new manager. I think that, although the situations are different, Liverpool management may be considering a similar issue. On the other hand, there are not many top managers willing to take over a team in the middle of the season, because without the opportunity to build the squad, it is clearly a gamble with their reputation.

That's probably the biggest argument that speaks against Slot, those over £400m spent...

But apart from that you can see that Liverpool isn't the only club struggling. Pep Guardiola came from a horrible last season and everyone thought they will have a fresh start and learn from their mistakes, but if it wasn't for their last minute win against Liverpool yesterday, they would be behind by 9 points now and they are playing quite a lot of bullshit in many games.

It seems that these days of one or two teams being close to perfect are counted. Hard to believe that it almost because a standard for Manchester City to end the season with 95+ points.

It actually makes lots of sense that he prestige the Saudi pro league because unlike the other players Ronaldo wasn’t brought in only to be a player at Al Nasrr alone but to be the league poster boy and also the country’s promotional ambassador in terms of football affairs, through Ronaldo influence they were able to attract multiple big names too even though with a fat Cheque and this was intentionally done to also win them the bid for the World Cup host of 2034 which with serious indications seems to be going to be possible because FIFA sees there league is getting more attractive and this is all because of Ronaldo.

Tottenham’s director Levy is actually a business minded person so i am very sure the reason why Thomas Frank od still at the club is because of how the team is doing well in the champions league and they are reluctant to keep him to see how far he can go in that competition. Same measure was applied to to Ange Postecoglou before he was axed out and I think Thomas Frank will face same fate

His fate will be the same as Ange Postecoglou's because Tottenham usually gives every manager a chance before being fired. This season the reason Thomas Frank hasn't been fired is because they have performed much better in the Champions League. Tottenham's position in the Premier League is much more difficult as they are currently in 15th place and have not won a single game in their last seven matches. Their next two matches will be much tougher for Tottenham as they face Newcastle and Arsenal which also poses the risk of dropping points. In contrast the Champions League has been better so far and they have qualified for the next round with slightly more convincing performances.

Ronaldo has to make a decision, and he needs to make that decision right now. There is no turning back of Benzema transfer, so either he has to accept the fact that Benzema is at Al Hilal and that's the way it is going to move on, or he has to just leave Al Nassr and try to find another team for himself at February when almost every transfer window is closed. I know that he is not going to find a new team for himself, it is not going to work, but that doesn't mean that he has to accept neither and can just stay out.

I am sure there will be financial consequences of what he is doing, and while they managed to beat Ittihad too, without him, he also faces a chance that the team could do wonders even without him which will diminish his value even further.

Good news for Fenerbahçe fans! Fabrizio Romano didn't include the details but it is 5 million euros per year. He absolutely deserves that amount honestly because of his high level effort.

19 goals and 4 assists in 33 games so far. For a player who came back to Europe from Saudi Arabia, he is doing quite well! He is 32 years old and he can do good things in the Turkish league for a longer time period.

Should we call Talisca one of the success stories of the Saudi Professional League? They have invested a lot of money to enable SPL export players to other Leagues.

The Brazilian has proved that he is worth the amount Fenerbahçe is splashing on him. Considering his age, the club was wisw not to give him a long term contract.
