"You know that he can't be the only issue at the club. It's a curious club, Tottenham. It's made a major pivot at the end of last year, not just with me but with [the executive chair] Daniel [Levy] leaving as well, and you've created this whole sort of environment of uncertainty. There's no guarantee whichever manager you bring in - they've had world-class managers there and they haven't had success. And for what reason? Thomas is walking in and what's his objective, what's the club's objective?"
"Yet the decision to replace him with Frank backfired, with Tuesday's 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United marking the end of his miserable and brief time in charge.

Tottenham remain in the Champions League last 16 but sit only five points above the relegation zone with 12 league games remaining. The club faces uncertainty over objectives and structure, raising questions about long-term strategy and the impact of major mid-season pivots.
