Tottenham Hotspur's head coach Thomas Frank has described the club as "completely aligned" with its ownership and management structure, amid growing pressure from fans to improve results. In a statement that highlights the unity behind the scenes at Tottenham, Frank praised chief executive Vinai Venkatesham for his "sensible decisions" and exceptional communication skills, stating he is "one of the best communicators I ever met." This comes as Tottenham faces criticism over its recent performances in the Premier League, with the team currently sitting 13th in the table.

I feel like we're back to the Spurs' old ways... they used to be all about building a strong squad and playing attractive football, but now it's all about trying to please the owners and get more money out of them 
. I mean, I'm glad Vinai Venkatesham is doing his thing, making sensible decisions and whatnot, but I just wish we saw more focus on developing our own players instead of buying in top-notch imports every now and then. And yeah, Thomas Frank seems like a stand-up guy, but 13th in the league table? That's not exactly what I call "aligned" 
. I remember when Spurs used to be the team that people loved watching, you know? Now it feels like they're just trying to keep up with the Joneses... or in this case, the Cityzens and Liverpool.

I remember when Spurs used to be the team that people loved watching, you know? Now it feels like they're just trying to keep up with the Joneses... or in this case, the Cityzens and Liverpool.I gotta say, it's refreshing to see Thomas Frank speak up about his experience at Spurs 
. It's clear he's got a good thing going behind the scenes, and Vinai Venkatesham is definitely getting some credit for being on top of things 
. I mean, when your CEO is making "sensible decisions" that align with the club's goals, it's gonna make all the difference in the long run 
.
But let's be real, the team's performance isn't exactly lighting up the Premier League right now
. Being 13th in the table ain't nothing to brag about 
. I get that fan pressure can be a lot, but at the same time, you gotta expect some level of disappointment when your team isn't delivering 
.
Still, it's great to see Frank and Venkatesham on the same page, and if they keep working together, we might just see Spurs back in contention soon
Fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed! I'm so done with Spurs right now 
. They're literally just throwing money at it and expecting everything to magically improve, but at least they know who's pulling the strings behind the scenes 
. Frank is a solid coach, no doubt about that, but he's also got some serious spinelessness going on if he thinks praising Venkatesham's "sensible decisions" is gonna get him out of trouble 
. I mean, 13th place in the league? Come on, Spurs should be doing better than that 
. They've got some talented players, but it's all being wasted due to poor management and a complete lack of clear vision 
️. The fans are frustrated, and Frank just needs to step up his game if he wants to keep his job

A club that's been struggling on the pitch is now being described as "completely aligned" behind the scenes? Sounds a bit fishy to me 
. I mean, if everything is so rosy, why are the results in the Premier League so... underwhelming? And what's with the praise for Vinai Venkatesham's communication skills? I'm not saying he doesn't deserve it, but 13th place isn't exactly a winning formula 
. Still, I guess when you've got fans who are already on edge, any positivity behind the scenes is appreciated 
. Maybe Frank just wants to keep everyone happy until the next season starts 
?

he's not perfect but atleast he's tryin! 13th spot might seem bad but let's not forget we're still in the mix for europe ️& what if they turn it around? let's show some love to our spurs team

They're putting so much pressure on the coaches and management, it's like they forget that there's a whole team behind them . I mean, Thomas Frank is right, he's saying that everyone is on the same page, but I'm not sure if the fans are really hearing that from the other side of the fence. And yeah, Vinai Venkatesham sounds like a top bloke, his communication skills are definitely needed around there 
. The thing is, if they can just get their head down and focus on the next match, I'm sure things will turn around at Spurs .

Vinai Venkatesham might be a great communicator, but does that really translate to results on the pitch? 
... Tottenham's got some big bucks invested in their stadium, so it's surprising they're not getting more out of it.

13th in the league is not where we wanna be! maybe they can turn it around soon? fingers crossed!

The fact that he's now singing the praises of Vinai Venkatesham after Tottenham's underwhelming results is suspicious to me. I mean, what changed? Did Venkatesham suddenly become a miracle worker? 
I'd love to see some concrete numbers and data on how Tottenham's ownership and management structure are actually impacting the team's performance. Is it just a coincidence that they're doing better when Frank says all the right things about Venkatesham?
It feels like the powers that be at Spurs want us fans to buy into their narrative, but what about the actual evidence? Can we really trust these guys?
I'm not saying it's impossible for a team to turn things around, but this seems like a pretty convenient spin. Sources, anyone?

I'm not saying it's impossible for a team to turn things around, but this seems like a pretty convenient spin. Sources, anyone? I think Spurs are getting a bit too comfy with their current setup . Don't get me wrong, Thomas Frank is a great coach and all, but it's gotta be tough for fans to see them sitting at 13th place right now 
. I mean, the fans are calling for change and he's just being like "hey guys, we're good" . It'd be awesome if the management was open to listening to the concerns of the fans and making some adjustments. Vinai Venkatesham is definitely doing a good job in terms of comms, but the results on the pitch are where it matters most . The ownership structure might be working for them behind the scenes, but I'm not sure how long that can keep going on

I mean, a 13th place finish is not exactly something to brag about and yet they're just coasting along... it's like they're waiting for someone else to take charge 
. Frank saying the club is "completely aligned" with its ownership just doesn't add up to me... that sounds like corporate speak for "we have no idea what we're doing ". And Vinai Venkatesham's 'sensible decisions' and super communication skills don't quite cut it when the team is having a mediocre season 
. I'm not asking for much, just some consistency and a bit of progress would be nice... but I guess that's just too much to ask from Spurs fans like me

They've got a talented squad but not getting the results they should be 
. Frank's praise for Vinai is legit though, the guy seems to be doing his job properly 
. But what's worrying is that the fans are getting restless and it's starting to affect ticket sales 
. They need to sort out their tactics and start winning some games ASAP ️. I mean, 13th in the table isn't exactly the best position to be in 
. Still, I've got faith in them they'll turn it around soon

i think what's really missing is some accountability. if venkatesham's just making sensible decisions, then why aren't we seeing any real results on the pitch? it feels like he's just not doing enough to get the team winning. and frank praising him for his communication skills but not addressing the fact that the team's performance is still subpar... seems a bit weird to me
anyway, i guess what i'm saying is that this whole thing feels like a bit of a PR stunt to me

I'm loving how Spurs are getting their house in order 
Thomas Frank's comments about the club being "completely aligned" is music to my ears! It's like a weight has been lifted off his shoulders and he can finally focus on getting results on the pitch . And kudos to Vinai Venkatesham for keeping everyone in check - communication is key, right? I think it's high time we give Spurs some credit for having a solid team behind them. The fans have been calling out for improvement and now Frank is finally able to hit the ground running with a clear vision 
. Let's see how this newfound unity translates into wins on the pitch!

I'm not buying all this unity talk . Sure, Thomas Frank seems like a nice guy and Vinai Venkatesham's got some solid communication skills, but let's be real, Tottenham's still stuck at 13th place in the Premier League . That doesn't exactly scream "aligned" to me 
. What about all those promises of investment and new talent? Where's the delivery on that front? It sounds like a PR stunt to me, trying to placate fans after a string of lackluster performances ️. I'm not saying Frank or Venkatesham are bad guys, but you can't just sweep all the problems under the rug and expect everything to magically fix itself . The fans need some real change, not just a bunch of feel-good statements .
