The vast majority of Tottenham Hotspur supporters are simply sitting idly by and waiting with general disinterest at the club's happenings until they finally hear the words that Thomas Frank has been officially deposed as manager of the club.

Not that Frank being fired would magically solve all of Spurs problems, because the rot at the club obviously permeates deep from within. So deep, in fact, that any optimism of a turn around at Tottenham after the summer firing of Daniel Levy has been immediately erased with the knowledge that everyone above at ENIC is responsible for Spurs being nothing more than a farm for commercial financial interests rather than anything resembling a sporting project.

Nothing could be clearer after how poor of a winter transfer window Tottenham had this year. They had so many needs across their roster, specifically in the attack, and yet they addressed none of them. Conor Gallagher was the only established signing Spurs made, and yet they are still thin at center midfield and failed to sign the actual profile they needed at the position.

Thomas Frank is obviously part of the problem

Far from being a blameless scapegoat or the victim himself, Thomas Frank is an active participant in the attempted brainwashing by the club of its fans. In the aftermath of the miserably failed January transfer window, the Tottenham Hotspur manager went out of his way to defend Spurs transfer window at the press conference prior to the clash against Manchester United in the Premier League.

Frank said, via The Spurs Express, when asked if the window was a sign of Tottenham simply doubling down on mediocrity, “That's your opinion. This club is very ambitious. I think if it was this easy to get another player in, then I'd play Football Manager.”

Now that is the exact response Tottenham fans feared was coming, but it is nonetheless thoroughly unsurprising. All season long after every loss, Frank has tried to basically lie bald faced to the fan base that his team has been playing well, so it then makes sense that this same character would try to explain away the awful January transfer window as a positive.

"Very ambitious"? Fabio Paratici, who just left Tottenham for Fiorentina, said his primary motivation for doing so was because the Viola are a serious club, thus implying that Tottenham are not. And so many great managers - far greater than Frank - have said the same thing, such as Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho. None of them have any love lost for this club's horrendous leadership, and yet here is Frank openly kissing their behinds.
