Tottenham Hotspur supporters could only chant the same thing at their beleaguered manager after another unacceptable result. As Spurs needed Cristian Romero's heroics to rescue a draw from the jaws of defeat against one of the Premier League's least talented sides in Burnley, the "We want Frank Out" chants rained in from the crowd on a manager who is arguably the worst in the history of this great (well, sometimes) football club.
Spurs next move has to be getting Frank out of here, as the win over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League at mid week was nothing more than a fortunate (or unfortunate, depending on just how strongly you feel about the current manager) band aid over the obvious solution of sacking an inept head coach.
But the next move after that appears to be another veteran transfer, with Tottenham in intense negotiations to sign Andrew Robertson from Liverpool to bolster a left back position that the club technically already tried to bolster with the signing of 19 year old Brazilian prospect Souza.
Andrew Robertson is the sign of a problem
Even if you do not subscribe to the belief that Robertson is a beyond finished footballer above the age of 30 who has little to offer Tottenham Hotspur and instead see him as a veteran leader and an ersatz for the unfortunately injured Ben Davies, you still have to admit that Robertson hardly moves the needle in any meaningful way.
Signings like Conor Gallagher and Andrew Robertson are short term additions that are meant to help try and keep Tottenham's head above water, and they strongly imply that, deep down, the Spurs brass knows that they have royally screwed things up and are headed for disaster.
Robertson is a few million pound flier of a desperation signing. He is not better than Destiny Udogie at all, and while he is probably still a better actual left back than Djed Spence, in an ideal world, he would not be a starter for Tottenham, precisely because Liverpool, even as champions of England, did not think Robertson was good enough to start for them (hence why they bought a younger and better player in current starter Milos Kerkez).
Tottenham are going to have to acknowledge that their pursuit of players like Robertson is nothing more than a temporary solution to a problem at the club that has been brewing for years, exacerbated by the losses of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, poor transfer strategy, and now a manager who may end up being the final nail in the coffin of relegation.
