Very pleased with him coming
I guess a slow start and getting progressively better is preferable to winning the first 10 and then getting worse and worse
And this is the key.
People look at 76 games and 104 points.
But the reduction on PPG over the course of the time here was far more telling than the overall points.
76 games 104 points is 1.36ppg. Not great but not dreadful I guess. It's top half.
But literally after the first 10 games for the rest of his time it drops to 1.18 which is a 45 point season. You're bottom 1/4 of the league.
Just break the 2 seasons into 4 1/4's
Q1 = 39 points
Q2 = 27 points
Q3 = 24 points
Q4 = 14 points
Literally a demonstrable reduction in points every 1/4 consistently.
If Frank had the same points after 4 quarters but it was reversed, he's doing well.
He likes a Brass? OH NOT AGAIN!! That's what did for Pleaty!Has the Danish Hugh Grant signed yet?
Well in that case it won't get to 22.
It was a shit demon tbh. 2nd rate.
Anyone could have taken that one out the window.
Aussies all out again
Like the 81 Ashes test.
Relax DanielI don’t feel great about paying £10m for a manager.
I'll happily turn a blind eye to his off the ball interests if he can get us winning gamesHe likes a Brass? OH NOT AGAIN!! That's what did for Pleaty!
Some Jurgen Klopp quotes on this topic:
“You cannot win without tactical things, but the emotion makes the difference.”
“We must turn from doubters to believers.”
To win the PL, Liverpool needed to become: “very emotional, very fast and very strong.”
“All we do in life is about relationships.”

Ange, like Klopp, like Frank actually is a culture-first type of coach. Same as the NZL All Blacks in Rugby and numerous other serial winners. Read some Daniel Coyle like the Culture Code. Coaches like that always need to have the feel of being a cult leader because they need to persuade their players and fans to believe in something that may not be easily believable.
People tend to overrate logical things like tactics and misunderstand that emotion is what decides winning. That emotion that Ange got from his players with the speeches and the videos of their families is why they win. You can go into it conscious of that, i knew with Ange from the start, it was about choosing to buy in, now he's gone we move on to the next but if you think Frank will be that different, rewatch all his videos about culture, he is following all the same research and authors when it comes to building a winning culture. It's going to be very similar. Just look atthinktank and his posts, he's already all the way in on Frank.
Sidenote: soccer? are you American? jus curious here.
I'd be "all the way in" with Iraola, Glassner, Xavi.
Anyone who could actually coach, was tactically proficient and didn't have to gaslight to compensate for their inadequacies/deficiencies.
Don’t worry we will give him all the promises he needs , then Levy will get his usual bout of amnesia once he has signed.
I’m already getting the jokey messages on WhatsApp about Thomas the Tank\Frank Engine.
Very original that one..
Very original that one..
What’s the ownership model got to do with the subject being discussed?
How many clubs in the English Premier League are owned by the fans?
Perfect example of what I said previously!
I think whats worrying is that we have hired a Gooner as a CEO!
Didn't Newcastle beat Woolwich home and away?
A fact conveniently left out of your defence of a fraud.
For what it's worth, Tamworth was the end for me. I know Andy Peaks very well, and he was in no fear at all about the tie, and disappointed when they lost the game.
That for me summed up Ange.
