Micah Richards

I think it surprises a little bit that they've struggled this much.

Yeah, massively.

It's just a question of whether they stick with him now.

Because, I mean, you look at Spurs in recent years and they've had so many top managers and big names and they all leave the club and they generally have a real gripe with the football club when they leave.

I know it's always the coach that gets to blame.

And the fact we, you know, we know Thomas Frank reasonably well.

Obviously, it doesn't affect your judgment on people, but it makes you think a little bit, I suspect.

Yeah.

And it's also not very much time, six months.

I mean, I know it's a mad, mad world manager.

You know what you're getting into.

And if it doesn't happen, you're in trouble.

While we're on the subject of coaches, Oliver Glasner had something of a rant at the end of the game, didn't he?

He said he thinks they've been deserted, basically.

And obviously he's talking about the upper echelons of the football club.

I've found it...

slightly baffling in the sense that also this week i mean he was complaining basically about selling the captain day before a game um and also as a in the summer and i thought yeah well i can understand you gripe on that but you also came out this week publicly and said that you told the chairman that you were leaving your job at the end of the season i thought well hang on a minute so you

Well, funny you should say that, though, Alan.

That news is just broken.

And it's not the news that you would think.
