What were we thinking when we hired Poch eh, 14th and 8th place finishes in the PL and what the fuck had he won?

Can't wait for Ange In crowd to shit on Poch's contribution to our club again because "hurr durr he never won anything". Fucking hell.
 
Can’t believe some people want to replace Ange with a manager he’s never lost to in 4 games, winning 3 of them

I thought Frank was supposed to be a tactical genius?

Is this not a bit of a basic way of looking at it though mate?

I mean, Van Nistelrooy beat Ange, so would you go for him first? Ange beat Pep’s City, so is Ange better than Pep? (*looks to see Harry7 running over the hill*).

Can’t judge it as basic as this, Ange winning the final has made some on here absolutely deny or forget him losing 22 games this season, and I know, he said he deliberately sacked the league off, and of course he didn’t just start saying that after we won the trophy to try and cover it up or give it a positive look…

I think your worries about Frank are fair enough, he isn’t top of my list, but if it is him, I think he’s a good manager, with a lot of scope to grow and improve and take us with him. I’m curious to see what he could do with a better squad and some more cash.

Can’t judge people just based on who they took points off the season before.
 
That the same Brentford Ange beat twice last season ? And did we lose to them the season before ?

Ange is lacking and needs to go, but replacing him with a manager he beat twice in the terrible season that has just gone past is a test of logic too.
Sherwood beat Poch twice in his spell and again when he went to Villa. I get people aren't sold on Frank but the defeats to us shouldnt really come into it.
 
It just feels like we’re on a hiding to nothing, whoever the new manager becomes.

Everyone else is busy with summer plans & we’re stuck in a limbo, whilst this plays out.

I think we know who our targets are and tbh if we sign sane and then hopefully go for eze then I would be happy with that. Obviously we need to buy more then them two but those two will be good business.
 
Thomas Frank is an upgrade to this guy. Love the cup. But getting 17th in the league is a absolutely unacceptable
Could it no be possible that next season with additional squad members and a fit squad that wouldn’t have been the case next time round? Besides Frank if it’s him do you honestly think he’s gonna guide us through a season of premier league, champions league, F.A Cup & league cup matches
 
What's your rationale for keeping Ange? It seems to me to be the fear of what might happen, obfuscating the view of the very grim reality we are faced with at present, which is a man whom, when faced with the prospect of 4 competitions (one of which he went out of in the 2nd game we played in) managed to muster 38 points?

I feel you're intelligent enough to know exactly how facetious it is to compare finishing mid table with a team like Brentford and their resources, with finishing 17th with the ninth richest club in the world.

My rationale is simple.

This is the guy that got the monkey off our back and won us a trophy, he’s earned his shot. The pressure for him to play strong teams in the cups isn’t as high. He got 5th in his first season, with the squad behind him, there’s every chance he gets them back to that kind of form. Especially now the medical department and support staff around him is stabilized now.

The players love him and believe him when he says “do this and you’ll win” because he’s proved it to them. I don’t want to lose guys like Romero and watch this club go cheap and shitter with his replacement. We’ve always needed winners at this club. Let’s keep the one we have now.

He’s very fucking handy when it comes to selling the club for recruitment. It was his phone call that sold this club to Van de Ven…. Imagine we are going after an Eze or Xavi Simons. Several times Ange calls persuaded players to come here instead of Frank and Brentford. Bergvall would probably be a Brentford player if we had Frank and they had Ange.
