    Maddison and Dragusin both sound like they're both recovering well.
    I'd love to hear Frank's genuine thoughts on the facilities as it looked like a lot for him to take in.
    The whole media aspect's probably quite a change for him, too.
    He did a Day In The Life video for Sky and it's a bit of a contrast:


    How many of the changes are superfluous and how many are genuine upgrades?
    He notably mentioned that we have a stand bigger than Brentford's ground when we beat them.
    The finances of that are obvious a big boost, but how far can training facilities go?

    I remember it being said about Harry Redknapp's time at West Ham the training facilities were so far below standard that all they could do was play 5-a-side most days

    Obviously their chairman buying that replica sailing ship was far more important...

    Having multiple natural grass indoor pitches
    may be of some use when the weather is sh*te
    (assuming the training exercise actually requires that many) .

    Similarly for outside (if I recall correctly the old
    Cheshunt site only had space for two full size pitches,
    I cannot remember how many the Chigwell site had - 3 ?? ) .

    Anyone new to the medical team at Spurs can only be a good thing.

    Paul O'Queef is trying to make out one specific recently departed member of the medical team was responsible for our injury crisis, because he went on holiday in December

    That person was our head of nutrition and sports psychology

    What're the odds that person just so happened to replace the bloke who leaked who was booked for medicals to O'Queef, which is why he's been a clout-chasing crank for the last eighteen months?

    Damn, this thread took a tumble didn't it?

    Anyway, here's our pass maps for our first ten games to show how Frank's gameplan is finding its feet

    Spoiler alert: people slating Bentancur in recent match threads will feel vindicated

    Hopefully, our new board will mean that this structure isn't subjected to 'scrutiny and change' every 2 years, now that we’ve withdrawn from the 'Appoint The Least Suitable Coach in the Premier League' challenge.

    Some stability is well overdue and very much needed...along with the 'elusive plan'.

    Quite like that each have their own tasks and that Lange is focusing more on youth and scouting which is where I think he’s excelled (Bergvall being his biggest success), whilst the Don is focusing on more proven talent and transfers/ loans, where we know he really is a Don at by having multiple deals and players on the go.

    On paper, it should work… and really well too.
