Thought number 2, Im going off on a series of what ifs now….we could actually do a lot worse than Frank although he is one I feel needs time to build a identity.
Frank would be an intersting option. I think POTENTIALLY he would be someone who could buy into a project and develop an EPL team by stabilising and recruiting shrewdly.

Has Frank demonstrated he's a good coach? Keith Andrews is more than matching Frank's record at Brentford while Spurs are absolutely atrocious, perhaps even worse than they were last season under Ange. Imo all Frank's reputation as a good coach is because of the Brentford 'model'. I want him nowhere near our club.
De Zerbi has left Marseille. Not sure he’d want the job currently and he normally doesn’t last long before it all blows up, but at least the football would be entertaining!

And without three of their best players from the last few seasons too.

Yep. There's every chance Frank gets sacked today I think.

I would be surprised if Spurs sack Frank until the summer. They are still in the champions league and finished in the top 8 and they aren’t getting relegated. If they do and i was EM i would be on the phone to him five minutes from the news breaking.

At Brentford Frank was the main man, an old school manager. That isn't how we (or Spurs) operate. I think I'd rather keep Dyche, we've had enough ex-Spurs managers!

The key to frank was his staff at Brentford. Look what happened when they all stayed there. Turned Keith Andrews into the next big thing
My original point was about De Zerbi. A lot to like about him, think he would be far more suited to the way we operate. He might have his sights set higher though and would be very surprised if he would consider us before the summer.
