I think it's obvious that we are an attractive club for managers. We managed to get both Mourinho and Conte. We pay ange about £5M a year. Iraola and Frank are paid between £1-2 million. Who would jump on a chance to trippel their salary. And we paid Mourinho and Conte about 3 times as much as we are paying Ange

Apart from that, everybody can see that we have a squad to fight for Europa places and with a few tweaks this summer maybe for Champions League places. We are also qualified for Champions League.

Its a big step up for most managers, including De Zerbi, Iraola etc.

Plus Ange have been backed, a manager with a reasonable amount of self confidence will think that if he is backed with the amount Ange was backed he could do wonders.

Finally. Who doesn't like a challenge?

All this is true, and I agree with you on a lot of those points.

However if we're such an attractive proposition why did we have to go to our 11th-ish choice to get Nuno? We were ridiculed in the media that year.
Same for Ange, surely he wasn't our first choice....
I did say we're not an attractive proposition for managers with relative success, managers that have challenged for titles and major trophies, as we have in the last 7-8 years.
We did get Mourinho and Conte but let's not kid ourselves, we were a stopgap for them, and a good payday when the sack inevitably came. We took Mourinho too late, his stock was falling which is why he's now picking his fights in Turkey while the Ancelotti's of this world are still winning major leagues.

There's plenty of dreaming on here about Inzaghi, or Xavi, or could Klopp be tempted, Ancelotti before he took the Brazil job. These are pipe dreams, we are at the Iraola, Frank, Glasner level of manager for the time being.
 
You're guessing a lot here. That Nuno wasn't out first choice (I agree, but we don't know this). Also surely Ange wasn't first choice. Another reason not to keep him.
 
Not exactly thrilled with our links to Thomas Frank. The guys won nothing. At the end of the day, that does count for something. At best, this would be a lateral move for the club

Well tbh all of were equal at the of the day as none of them won anything and that’s all that really matters.

Right back at yeah, of all the managers, who did better, them or Ange?

Not sure I agree with that.

Redknapp and Poch made us part of the ‘top 4’ or ‘top 6’. Poch’s CL runs helped put down the deposit for the stadium enabling us to have far less debt while being far more attractive to players. If we had been 10th for the last 20 years the likes of Romero, Bentancur wouldn’t have come near us and that means no EL win. When Redknapp and Poch where around so many players wanted to be part of it and we could play the likes Real Madrid and not shit our pants, we looked a big big club while playing brilliant football.

We can all laugh at Arteta for coming 2nd 3 times but he has moved Woolwich past the weak and flimsy period. If he leaves he leaves a club with the potential to win the league which is a position they where light years away from.

Jol, Redknapp and Poch moved us away from the 90’s and being fucked. Ramos’s League Cup win didn’t.

Ah yes because we have such amazing players here. Have you read through this forum?

Johnson - sucks
Son - past it. Legs gone.
Solanke - overpay.
Maddison - inconsistent
Romero - erratic
Deki - average. Can’t take the next level.
Porro - huge defensive liability
Vicario - can’t command the box.
Richy - lol
Bissouma - enigma at best

Frank is gonna fix this mess ?
 
Thomas Frank may not sound like the most exciting option but the just idea of having someone competent and with attention to detail excites me enough after two years of dinosaur management.
What I would be hopeful is Frank can get us back to being able to get some scalps in the derby games due to his ability to prepare tactically for a particular game of football rather than chasing of a style and vibe, Angeball or whatever bollocks.
Also I just like him as a person and it would help me to get on board with the appointment.

Logic by board imo if it is Frank they must be very alarmed we finished 17th so want a tried and trusted coach to climb table and never go near that perilous position again. Fucking joke really we finished 17th.
