i don't care about your offence and you don't intimidate me.

I'm conflating Ange out with the English far right (becoming the English majority) with good reason. As an observer from an enlightened vantage point I can see a trend of stupidity in England, similar to that in the US, where the average citizen lack critical thinking capacity. This leads to self harming beliefs.

This is football you halfwit, not the G7 summit!

‘As an observer from an enlightened vantage point I can see a trend of stupidity in England’

Honestly get a grip! You sound a right egotistical twit and YOU are projecting the very same racist views you’re claiming to despise!

What an absolute plonker!

Liverpool fan here!
Bit surprised to see that everyone seems to be on board with the decision to sack him. I liked the bloke and thought he played good football. The league season has been dreadful but I thought the context was obvious. He came from a 41 game season last year finishing within 2 points of top 4 to playing a 60 game season with Solanke and a couple new kids as reinforcements. The injuries and the proceeding dip in performance seemed pretty expected. The actual finish sort of vindicates it enough where I thought he deserved a fair crack with enough reinforcements this time around. Its completely normal to me that a squad having to play 50% more games will suffer if they dont recruit well.
No idea if there were other issues but I was surprised so I wanted to see how the Spurs fans felt and the reaction seems to just confuse me that bit more.
Either way, good luck on your next manager recruitment!

Well as it's a results orientated business and he did what he said he would do in his second season and won a cup which got us back into the Champions league he can now drop his mic and laugh at us from the outside as we make all the same mistakes all over again.

In 18 months everyone will be calling for Franks head.

Nobody on here seems to ever learn shit from history and Levy continues to take the piss, this fanbase is depressing

Ange can laugh at us from the SPL or Eredivisie if he wants, that is fine.

If Frank wins a major trophy but posts 1 ppg in the league in his second year, he's out. The standard was set today that we are bigger than that, and we should be.

Heard from a well connected agent up here. The players wante dhim to stay. They had built something special. Lots of good development happened this season. They felt they could go on to do well with some key additions to the squad.

Now that has been pissed all over by people who don't understand football.

There are other player who want out but that list all have many options.

Even if they are retained, the first job a new manager has to do is restore team spirit and motivation.

Great stuff. Enjoy - this is what you wanted

He's clearly a far left indoctrinated spunk bubble. Thinks everyone to the right of Chairman Mao is the reincarnation of Hitler.
You cannot reason with the brainwashed.

Come on... everything points to Frank. But listen if they wheel out Xavi tomorrow then happy days... that's the calibre of manager we should be hiring.

Xavi won the Qatar Stars League and one La Liga with Barca. Must be up there with Cruyff, Klopp, Pep, Carlo, Jose, Sir Alex, Arse-ne..

Frank would've won that Liga title too with that squad. But would Xavi have achieved at Brentford what Frank done? Nope.

What did he say about us/do that makes you think that?

When he berated us for not wanting to hand scum the title?

When he cupped his ear to us to mug us off in front of the whole world?

When he told us he deliberately threw the league to focus on the cup, like we're gullible village idiots who shouldn't believe our lying eyes?

When he didn't mention "fans" once in his speeches once we won the cup?

What exactly is it that brought you to this conclusion?
 
Ultimately it was a numbers game. His football was just too intense to balance PL and EL without terrible injuries, how the hell would it cope with PL and CL? There’s just not enough money to beef up the squad to what he would need. And if he was gonna play low block and counter in Europe, why not get someone in who does it better?

Without serious investment with the squad we have Frank will be lucky to guide us to top half and get us out of the group stages of CL.

We simply don't have the squad to attack on all fronts and heaven help him if he gets injuries.

I like Frank but he's not elite and he isn't a wizard
