⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[ThemePen]

Just because there are so many jobless managers of former clubs, doesn't mean that they should be handed a contract to come and manage a team. Crystal palace is probably just making the same mistake that notthingham forest made last season after letting Nuno Espirito Santo leave the club. Getting a manager that easily hits the ground running, especially in the premier league, is not an easy task. Forest found one at some point, but they sacked him. And now, Crystal palace also found one, but they're not even trying to please him. How can you sell some of your best players, and also fail to replace them at that instance?. Very stupid if you ask me.

What are the chances that Xabi, Xavi, or South Gate, would find the same lucky momentum, when they eventually become the manager of the Crystal palace?. Truth is, some risk are not just worth taking.

Modern football clubs tend to panic in short time other than choosing to be steady in long time and this is what happened to Nottingham Forest as it is happening in Crystal Palace. Though winning FA Cup in 2025, bosses at Palace could not support manager Oliver Glasner selling some of their stars such as Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi without having good new players, causing Glasner to say his leaving this summer. This is after Forest mistake where change of winning manager such as Nuno Espirito Santo brought about complete loss in team feel. As well as famous footballers, such as Gareth Southgate, Xavi or Xabi Alonso are all being linked with job, hiring famous football manager would be huge risk to continue pushing away best players in team. So just believing that famous coach can solve broken system is bad plan that hardly ever works.

It is strange that they didn't sack him yet. They finished 24/25 with 38 points and were far out of the danger zone, but only because the teams below them were so much weaker that 38 points saved them easily. But this time it doesn't look very well for them and there is no positive trend or good times to be anticipated. I don't know if it is mercy or if the upper management at Tottenham doesn't only blame the coach, but is aware that mistakes have been made in regards to signing new players.

On the one hand I like it when coaches don't get sacked after two months because they usually need their time to fix things of course, but on the other hand this is not looking great for Tottenham at all and they are already in a bad place where there is nothing to play for in the EPL.

Maybe they will part ways with him at the end of the season. That way they will be able to get an ideal coach. Sometimes, making a decision such as sacking a coach could turn into a complete disaster for the team in the long run and yes, I also prefer when a coach is given ample time to get things together. Having instant positive results when you just got into the club a few months back is no easy thing to achieve.

Based on the latest news Thomas Frank has stated that his position as coach at Tottenham Hotspur isn't under threat (Source). He emphasized that he has spoken with the owner of Tottenham. However it seems that Tottenham fans have begun to lose faith in Frank's coaching style at Tottenham what's more after yesterday's defeat against Newcastle at Tottenham's home ground. This has made fans even more doubtful about Tottenham's future performance. I personally think that Thomas Frank's position at Tottenham is still secure because he still has work to do for the next stage of the Champions League, where he has led Tottenham to qualify for the last 16. And that also proves that Thomas Frank still has the ability to deliver good performances for Tottenham. But I think his focus is more on the Champions League so he has to sacrifice the Premier League. I think Thomas Frank will finish his tenure as coach when he is no longer able to deliver good performances at all. And maybe he will stay if he manages to take Tottenham to the Champions League final or even win it. But I think that will be difficult considering the many other strong teams they have to face.

Tottenham's management is having a hard time deciding and hoping Tottenham can bounce back in the Premier League. I think another consideration is looking at Tottenham's performance in the Champions League, they played well there, so now we can also conclude that the Tottenham team is more focused on the Champions League, and for the Premier League, they no longer have any chances, just being able to escape the relegation zone, I think, is enough.

I saw a news about Tottenham's coach being sacked but I didn't take it seriously cause I'm not sure they'll sack him at this point if they wanted to they would've done that in January, but then their performance in the Premier League is so disappointing it's not what I expected of them this season.

 It's true that their Champions League performance is what the board could've put into consideration by January that's why they didn't sack him by January, however they're not going to win it and the coach would definitely be sacked at the end of the season, hopefully they won't get relegated.

Sacking Thomas Frank now would be too hash on  him because I think that their is a level of improvement from them this season, if we are going to compare them to last season, because they would never had qualify for the uefa champions league if they didn't win the uefa Europa cup, but this season, in as much as they are showing some traits like last season, the point gap to the four position is not that huge, so if they can go on a winning streak like 10 games, their is a higher probability of making it into the top five teams that will qualify for the uefa champions league, but as is stands now, they really needs to start getting the winnings consistently if they want to salvage something out of the seasons that is already going bad.

The news is valid I have also gone to confirm from the right sources. With the bad squad depth and injuries they've been facing, I will not blame him that much because this was the exact manager we saw who built Brentford United brick by brick. It's long overdue already, it was just the perfect timing to show him the exit. Manchester United who struggled with them in the same position last season are thriving,  there must be enough things Thomas is getting wrongly. Good luck to him in the future.

Woke up to the news that Tottenham Hotspur have sacked Thomas Frank after series of poor results that kept them close to the relegation zone in the premier league. Thomas Frank was appointed last year June, but things couldn't work well for him in North London. Even though he has guided the club to top 8 finish in the champions league group stages, but that was not enough to help him keep his job. I think the club made the right call by relieving him of his duties as he wasn't good enough.

Tottenham's management will only sack Thomas Frank if Tottenham are eliminated early from the Champions League, as Tottenham's performance in the Premier League under manager Thomas Frank has been dismal. From the start, the management's decision to hire Thomas Frank as manager drew criticism from fans for being an not a good coach, and this has now been proven.

It was long over due, Thomas Frank deserves what he got, I’m thinking he wasn’t sacked at the right time and now it’s coming late, Tottenham are in a very terrible position in the Premier League, and he has been loosing games for fun in the Premier League, I wouldn’t really understand what is the problem with Tottenham they seems to be loosing alot of games this season and they are more closer to the Relegation Zone than them being close to the Champions League Qualification Position.

The club made the right decision to sack him, and now they will be searching for a new manager, and I believe managers have already been lined up for the Tottenham vacant managerial positions, Names like Xavi, Roberto De Zerbi, Xavi Alonso, this are names being linked to the Tottenham vacant managerial position, well let’s see who becomes the new manager.

No surprise there. Tottenham are in 16th place, and if Nottingham wins today (which is very likely, as they're playing Wolves, which are in last place), Tottenham will be in shared 16th-17th place. In fact, it’s not far to the relegation zone either – only 5 points. The Champions League group stage is of no importance, so the management had no choice. Tottenham found themselves too low to avoid such a development. Last season was terrible for them (17th place) but they saved it by winning the Europa League, this season will be just terrible.

Well, I'm not surprised seeing his sack because it's expected judging from Tottenham recent performance. But to be honest, I feel sad for Frank coaching a team with bunch of players injured in the squad. I don't blame the board either for parting ways with him because despite his determination, he wasn't moving the train to the right direction but I consider their decision unfair on the other considering that he has too many injuries players to deal with and the available players are not good enough to make a difference.

I actually don't know who to blame because this is the second season in a row Tottenham is suffering from injuries. Is it the medical staff or the London weather that's responsible for the poor fitness of players? It's something the management should look into as well because no coach can survive with many injuries players.

[sokani]

Even though, just thinking about that logic for them to keep him is just too wild, and they think in there vague imagination that he is going to actually win a Champions League for them ? Maybe they just want to do it during the off seasons but they should also consider that Tottenham is just 6 points away from the relegation zone.

I honestly didn't expect this performance from Thomas Frank because when he was in Brentford, he was performing excellently, and of he gets sacked I wonder how that would affect his portfolio.

I can't answer that. But it worked the last time, didn't it? Last season, Tottenham struggled under Ange in the Premier League but went ahead to win the Europa League title. So, you never know, anything is possible.

I think they are also worried about being relegated but I wouldn't entirely blame Thomas Frank for the poor performance. Tottenham's injury list is something else. Most of the key players are sidelined due to injury.

It is a pity for Thomas but somewhat a good development for Tottenham fans and lovers of football.
Even if Tottenham is not known for winning trophies, we actually do not see them in the current position they occupy.
They need do better, I know the absence of Kane and Son is not that easy to bear.

Meanwhile, are there candidates to replace him?

Bad news for Thomas Frank as he's been stripped off his managerial duties. Tottenham Hotspur are widely known to be a team that have been really inconsistent and not capable of winning trophies. Sacking managers wouldn't solve the puzzle because the club's poor form is more deeper. This is certainly not something we should be happy about not when Spurs are in poor form. What can they do after sacking Thomas Frank?

Any replacement would be put under pressure because the fans are not here to play rather they want to see their club winning trophies. This is just fresh phase, they have absolutely nothing to worry themselves about be they're not going to the UEFEA Champions League next season and also not winning any major trophies not after their inconsistent performance.

[tygeade]

He still has one more year on his contract now. I wonder what Arteta is thinking about these rumours. Or at least about keeping or selling him soon...

He can still be a good use in the rotation if Gyökeres continues to score like this. He is at least bringing some competition in the area. His contribution in some games are also valuable for the team.

Considering Arsenal got Gyokeres, and they may look to get someone else, I would say it wouldn't be possible for Arsenal to find a way to part ways with Jesus. They may win the league this season, and if they do, they may look to sell him to Milan and get someone else. I know people like Gabriel Jesus a lot, and when Gyokeres wasn't playing Jesus did alright, but the reality is that Gyokeres scored more and looks to be a good player and getting someone else there could be not a bad idea at all.

Unfortunately in the football world there aren't as many great players for every position as it used to be, competition is tough, so if they do get rid of GJ, then it's going to be hard to find someone who will be at least as good, not for cheap at least.

It could be said that Thomas Frank's dismissal was a little too late. Tottenham's management should have fired Thomas Frank at the end of last year, as they could have recruited a new, qualified manager to improve the team's performance. With 13 Premier League matches remaining, it won't be easy for Tottenham's new manager to save them from relegation, as they are only five points clear of the relegation zone.

From the article I got this news from, it's likely that Mauricio Pochettino is the coach that has the highest chance of replacing Thomas Frank if they can wait till the world cup is over aince he's currently, coaching the USA men national team for the world cup. Mauricio Pochettino has also shown his interest to coach Tottenham.

Thomas was a fraud. He deserves it. He only records two wins from 17 matches. The low standard he brings to the club already destroyed it. If  it was not him, Spurs would not be at 16th. Despite sacking him, the director who brought him as their manager deserves the sack as well.
Beside that i'm wondering who is gonna be his replacement. It sounds impossible to get a proper manager in a short of time. It seems they must bring back Ange. yet poch is also available rn, though he's coaching USMNT. So it makes sense to open the talk to him becomes their new interim.

Thomas Frank needs to understand that managing a club is not about strange gazing and nice haircut. He is one manager in the Premier League I dislike a lot. 12 games to go, and Tottenham are struggling to escape relegation, one of the big clubs in England at least they will fall under the Top 8, or top 6 precisely. I dislike Tottenham, they shouldn't have sacked Thomas Frank at this time, I really wanted to see them relegated.

Yup Mauricio Pochettino is on the list but I think he will be excluded for now, another candidate is Roberto De Zerbi well, this coach is already familiar with Premier League games because in 2022 he had handled Brighton, yeah not a bad choice. In the meantime, John Heitinga will take over as coach until the end of the season but somehow I'm not too sure about him, I mean the performance can get stuck. It must be admitted that Tottenham currently seems to have lost motivation and is even getting closer to the relegation zone, imagine that in their last 17 matches they only won 2 times.
