A Winning Mentality or Another Reset — Which Spurs Will We Get?
Tottenham Hotspur just did something only Spurs could do.
Finish 17th in the Premier League…
Then win the Europa League in the same season…
Then sack the winning manager who gave them both the worst and best of times.
Ange Postecoglou’s reign split the fanbase…
But beneath the arguments was a truth no one can deny:
He installed a winning mentality in a squad that hadn’t tasted European glory in decades.
Now, with Thomas Frank arriving from Brentford —a manager respected for structure but with no trophies to his name — the big question looms:
Does a winning culture outlast the man who built it?
And how do players like Son and Romero — both rumoured to be restless without Postecoglou — react when the voice that raised their standards is replaced by one yet to prove he can win at this level?
This summer, Tottenham face a bigger rebuild than just transfers…
They have to protect the intangible asset Postecoglou leaves behind:
A squad that finally knows how to win when it matters most.

🔑 Key Takeaways:
✅ This doesn’t just say “Frank in, Ange out” — it asks: “Can mentality survive a culture change?”
✅ Its it right to use the Son & Romero storyline as a direct litmus test for whether belief in the project holds?

📌 Frank’s Tactics vs Winning Standards: Where They Might Clash
Thomas Frank’s Brentford sides were admired for tactical discipline and pressing structure…
But they never had to carry the weight of big‑name winners expecting silverware, week in, week out.
At Spurs, it’s different.
This squad now includes Europa League winners…
And they didn’t scrape it by luck — they fought through knockout football where only the mentally tough survive.
Frank inherits that muscle memory…
But he also inherits the risk:
His default style — pragmatic, low block, counter‑attack — might calm a leaky defence…
But will it stifle the expressive, high-risk mindset that helped win a European final?
To Dare Is To Do.
If Frank tries to clip their wings too much, expect whispers.
If he doesn’t impose shape fast enough, expect familiar collapses.
His biggest job isn’t just tactics — it’s proving to these players he can lead them to more nights like Bilbao.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
✅ Frank’s biggest test: balancing structure without suffocating Spurs’ newly found killer instinct.
✅ Europa League success wasn’t just a fluke — it demanded risk-taking and belief under pressure.
📌 Young Blood: Tel and Moore — Signs Spurs Won’t Abandon the Future
Mathys Tel wasn’t just a panic buy for goals.
Tottenham Hotspur paid big to secure a young forward already blooded at Bayern Munich — a club obsessed with proven pedigree.
It’s a statement.
One that says: Even with a new manager, this club wants explosive talent it can grow, not short-term stopgaps.
Then there’s Mikey Moore.
Still just 16 when he made his Premier League debut, breaking club records and fearlessly running at senior defenders like it was an academy training session.
These two aren’t guaranteed stars yet…
But they prove one thing:
Spurs still believe in building around young, hungry players.
The same hunger Postecoglou demanded — risk, courage, no fear — must be nurtured, not benched.
Frank’s real test?
Keeping these lads fearless while adding the discipline needed to survive a brutal domestic campaign.
If he gets that balance right, Spurs have a strong foundation and not have to turn to the transfer market as often..
🔑 Key Takeaways
✅ Tel’s permanent deal shows Spurs are still investing for tomorrow, not just patching holes.
✅ Mikey Moore’s meteoric rise proves the academy pipeline is real and trusted — even after a chaotic season.
✅ Frank must protect their attacking instincts while teaching them structure — the future depends on it.
👉 Do you back Frank to give these youngsters a fearless stage… or will caution kill their spark? Tell us in the comments!

📌 What Losing Senior Winners Means for Dressing Room Standards
Trophies aren’t just medals.
They’re proof that tough decisions, sacrifices, and standards work when pressure hits boiling point.
Last season’s Europa League win gave Spurs’ dressing room that proof.
But losing the leader who delivered it — and potentially seeing trusted lieutenants like Son, Vicario and Romero follow him — tears holes in that culture fast.
For all the talk about young talent and tactical resets, the dressing room runs on hierarchy.
Senior winners show the kids what fight looks like when half the crowd wants you sacked and rivals smell blood.
If Son goes, Spurs lose more than goals.
They lose a player who bought into Postecoglou’s vision and made it real on the pitch — even in a season where the league campaign fell apart.
Frank needs to lock down what’s left of that core — or rebuild it overnight with new leaders who’ve lifted something real.
Otherwise, the risk is simple: a squad with potential but no backbone when the season turns ugly.
🔑 Key Takeaways
✅ Spurs’ senior winners anchor the mentality Postecoglou built — losing them weakens standards instantly.
✅ Son, Vicario and Romero’s decisions this summer signal whether the dressing room still buys into the next project.
✅ Frank must either convince them to stay or replace that winning experience fast, or risk a soft underbelly again.
👉 If Son goes, can anyone truly replace his example for the youngsters? Have your say below!
📌 THBN: The Final Word
Tottenham Hotspur have made a habit of tearing things down just when we look ready to build something lasting.
This summer tests whether we’ve finally learned to protect what matters most — the mentality that dragged us from a humiliating 17th place finish to lifting a major European trophy the ‘experts’ and our own toxic fans had written us off for..
Thomas Frank’s task is massive.
He has to keep the dressing room believing they’re winners, even though he hasn’t yet won anything himself.
He has to convince restless leaders like Son and Romero that this is still a project worth bleeding for.
And he has to prove to every kid watching — from Mikey Moore to the next academy dreamer — that Tottenham Hotspur still mean business when we say we’re building for tomorrow.
If he pulls it off, Spurs fans might finally see stability and silverware walking hand in hand.
If not…
We know exactly how that story ends — because we’ve lived it too many times before.
🔑 Key Takeaways
✅ Spurs fans must watch this summer closely: does winning culture matter more than just shiny signings?
✅ Frank inherits belief but must prove he can nurture it, not just organise it.
✅ THBN will keep calling it as I see it — so stick around, debate it, and share your sensible voice.
