ESPN FC
Macclesfield's Magic of the FA Cup

I think it shows you that Thomas Frank cannot get those players on his side.

ESPN FC
Macclesfield's Magic of the FA Cup

He cannot get the fans on his side either.

Macclesfield's Magic of the FA Cup

And it's not the first time that we see, OK, maybe glimpses of what they can do, five minutes there, ten minutes there, but overall, over 90 minutes, it's so poor, it's so disappointing, and he's the one to blame.

ESPN FC
Macclesfield's Magic of the FA Cup

The players, for sure, have their part of responsibilities.

ESPN FC
Macclesfield's Magic of the FA Cup

The squad structure and build, for sure.

ESPN FC
Macclesfield's Magic of the FA Cup

But at the end of the day, this is still a better squad than the result that they're having right now, and that's on him.

ESPN FC

Is he going to make the end of the month, Jules?

ESPN FC

I think he will, and I guess the only positive in a way for Thomas Frank and Spurs is that Vinay Venkatesham, who is the CEO right now, who was the CEO of Arsenal, who was there when Mikel Arteta arrived, he actually recruited Mikel Arteta, and when things didn't go well at the beginning for Arteta, I'm not saying that Thomas Frank is as good as Arteta and can take this club as far as Arteta has taken Arsenal.

However, Vinay was patient with Arteta, and I think he will show more patience for Thomas Frank

That patience is not going to be forever, though.

And I think Thomas Frank has to very quickly try to turn things over by recruiting more players in January and they're working on it.

Macclesfield's Magic of the FA Cup

But yet it's 10 days in and they've got no one apart from that young left back from Santos, Sousa, who should come.

ESPN FC
Macclesfield's Magic of the FA Cup

But that's not the answer.

ESPN FC
Macclesfield's Magic of the FA Cup

That's not the solution either.

ESPN FC
Macclesfield's Magic of the FA Cup

So there will be patience.

But Thomas Frank has to find something that he hasn't found yet to make sure that to try to convince Wiener Venketashen, the owners,

and the fans and the players, more importantly, that he's still the right guy for the job.

ESPN FC
Macclesfield's Magic of the FA Cup

The big problem is the results are terrible and the football's terrible as well.

ESPN FC
Macclesfield's Magic of the FA Cup

From a fan's point of view, probably you're right.

They were in the semi-final last season.
