Just a load more shit while we wait for something to happen.
Fukk I remember these toys...
This is what I am looking forward to the most. I think we have a very decent squad and I hope/believe we will see Frank bring out the best in the likes of Solanke, in terms of goal return, Johnson, in terms of consistency and confidence, plus I think Gray, Bergvall and Sarr will thrive under him and enjoy the speed of Frank's midfield.
Football fans are fickle. Spurs ones especially. You can see people agreeing the squad is almost perfect in August, then if the results have been off, all of a sudden it was always awful and they are championship level players.
There's quality all over the pitch and on the bench, and hopefully he will bring that back out in them
I'd say its a top 10-8 squad, no more. But that doesnt mean some players cant break out and massively improve.
First appointment since Poch that I have felt was 'right' tbh
I probably could have explained it clearer, but we're 9th and Chelsea are 10th, there's almost nothing in it between the two team (relatively based on the huge amounts we're talking about). However we all know Chelsea managers are better funded than ours. So while we're higher on the list, Chelsea have more disposable funds. Hence why there are 5 club managers (at least) with more spending power than ours. That's an ownership issue though, not a team management issue.
The issue is that the Europa cup is one of the easier trophies to win. We won't have it easier this year. Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea and those A**holes will be in every competition we're in. So we only have to lose 1-0 to a scrappy goal against Liverpool in the final for it to be the difference between success and failure. All in his first season (ref: Ruben Amorim).
Hey, we could finish 7th in the league, lose the FA cup and League Cup finals and lose to PSG in the CL last 16 and people are saying he'd be a failure, in his first season with the team!
A season like that, despite being disappointing because we came so close, would show definite improvement and promise for the following season.
Unless it's a real train wreck like the majority of last season. His 2nd season is where he should be judged.
We have money to throw around on below average players"Just outbid City..."
Possibly Bergvall. But that’s it. Not sure how the Ange bois explain that one away? Injuries? VAR?
Put the shovel down Mo...We have money to throw around on below average players
Organic? Free range? Or cheapest and biggest you can find? Salt the egg or the toast?And we discuss poaching eggs
The fact he’s good at his job? Lmao.

If we do that well next season (we won't) under Thomas Frank then I'd be extremely happy with that, especially if it looks like he might improve on it the next season. (Although again I don't think he will)
I feel compelled to point out though that this fanciful scenario really that isn't much of an improvement on the season just gone.
Okay an FA Cup final would be much better than struggling past Tamworth, before going out to Villa, and losing League Cup semi-finalists is slightly worse than being losing finalists.
However winning the Europa League is far better than just reaching the last 16 of the CL.
And while there's 10 places between 7th and 17th apart from the prize money there's little material difference, as long as you're not in danger of relegation (which we never were last season).
Overall it's perhaps a better season sure, but I feel Ange might have done something similar if he'd been given the chance.
