He drew his first NLD 2-2 but lost the other three. He lost all 4 games against Chelsea.
I agree that 1 point out of a possible 24 isn't anywhere near good enough. One of the things I wanted from Ange next season was better results against Woolwich and Chelsea. Maybe Frank will do better.
Yep. The recruitment would have to be spot on and a little luck for us to win the league anytime soon under ENIC
No with Thomas Frank anyway!
"Dressing room backlash"??
What they gonna do, go on strike?!
Or what is it...oh noes, it might affect them too much and they could start losing games?
Stop with the bullshit and get this clown gone.
Players have had it too easy doing what they want on the pitch with zero discipline.
It's not some sort of playground here to lose games for fun.
They are paid to train and play when selected.
They are not a Union to make demands on the executive or they down tools.
Fuck is even going on here.
Yeah, I don't believe that. They're in constant communication and I can't imagine that it wasn't clearly understood at some point that we weren't trying to prioritize the EL. I don't believe it was January like they said, but at some point it's the only thing that makes sense why they allowed that ridiculous league form to continue for so long.
I can think of 22 times at least where their undying love for him meant fuck all"Dressing room backlash"??

I'm sorry, we owe the guy absolutely nothing. Worst league finish in 48 years, 1 point per game across an entire season, one cup is not going to erase the memory of that performance. Everything you talk about are the intangibles, you've watched the football yourself, can you honestly say we are improving and playing better now at full strength than we were in September 2023? That's fucking terrifying. What's going to change next season? What is going to click? You talk of a stabilised medical team, we limped through the end of the season sustaining injuries right to the end? We had no midfield to speak of in the final?
Did you know Romero has never in 4 seasons played more than 34 games (in one season) for us? He was signed by Paratici, he is coming back, don't you have faith that we could find an equal or better replacement, given he found Romero in the first place? I don't know why you're romantically tied to a player who is on average unavailable for around 1/3rd of our games with a sample size of four seasons. Romero is a good defender but prone to massive lapses in concentration and probably up there with errors leading to goals this season.
I don't believe Ange's treble winning antics with Celtic were any kind of pull for players like Bergvall or Van De Ven, sorry, we were probably just offering more money.
Yeah, but I thought we dominated possession for the first fifteen minutes, mate.
Cough.
What's that on your shoe?
Cough.
Mental quote that, tells you what's wrong with this fucking club lol
We finished 17th ffs. I dont like the idea with a billion pound stadium us being relegated under Ange. 22 league defeats ffs. Got to a point last season i knew we would lose even before a ball was kicked. Cant have that. Can watch non league football instead. But id rather not thanks.
Ange is one of the most extreame managers I have ever seen.
A+ recruitment
A+ inspiration of players
D tactics
D flexibility (would have been lower but he changed for the EL)
If he had taken a page out of Fergie. Fergie used to hire assistant managers to coach new styles of football when he needed to adapt, one of the least egotistical things I have heard in my entire life from Fergie a man with a big ego.
Ange really needs to hire an elite tactical number two who is elite at coaching and let him get on with it while he manages the overall situation.
Ange seems a brilliant manager but poor coach.
Worth remembering that a couple of seasons ago the fan disconnect with the squad was bad enough that they basically had to be cajoled into doing a lap of honour in the final home game (funnily enough, a loss to Frank's Brentford).
Tottenham embarrassment as players do lap of honour around empty stadium
Tottenham's players completed their lap of appreciation in front of a near-empty stadium on Saturday afternoon.

That was (rightfully) considered an awful year, with Conte imploding and us finishing in 8th with no Europe on 60 points.
I am unfathomably thrilled by winning the Europa League and I'm not surprised that it completely dominates how we feel about the end of the season, but if we hadn't have pulled it off then just look at how much worse our league performance was than two years ago. Was looking at past seasons and Leicester's bottom-at-Christmas escape from relegation in the season before they won the league ended with 41 points. Three more than us this year. It's crazy, regardless of prioritising Europe.
Heavyweight ITK.
If Levy had to think about it this hard, hes a goner.

If Levy shows ambition by sacking Ange, why does he show no ambition signing players?
Dressing room revolt. Bollox to them. They need to work harder next season. Were not a holiday camp."Dressing room backlash"??

I still think they'll keep him. They'll know that this is the moment that the criticism of the sacking will be at it's highest.. And they'll wait for the inevitable poor start so that the furore would be less
He’s not even been appointed yet and some of us are Frank out.
That they, apparently, think they are in any sort of position for any 'backlash' is wild.
Bournemouth played the most long balls in the prem lge last season. He’s not going to win trophies with Brentford. Poch and Eddie Howe never managed in euro comps. Neither had Maresca, only done one season in the champ. Clueless post.
Thomas Frank…come on down.
