I thought everything has already been agreed!

I assume that the clubs are just trying to work out which members of staff he can take with him.

Yea from bits I've read, Frank was agreed a few days ago now it's about staff and structure of payments. Let's face it press always a few days behind with stories.
Just hope we don't hamstring Frank from the start by not being able to secure the exact staff he wants.

Yeah like we didn’t have people saying Leicester were on PED’s when they won the league, without any proof . Equally plenty saying whoever won the league whether Woolwich or Liverpool this year it was because City had an off year . As for the Oil state club victories pretty easy to dismiss them if you choose to ( probably more valid) . Just look how many people on here claim that a game is rigged every time there is a decision that is either wrong or they just don’t like .

I could rattle off plenty more instances where elite sport at the highest level is questioned and not just in football .

You are right though I am happy maybe you should try it

Well I guess you could be right in terms of it theoretically being possible.

What regards Leicester triumph, it is honestly first time I read about this speculation. And regarding oil clubs, it is more about ethics about how it was achieved not achievement on it's own. While the fact that best teams in best leagues did not take part in EL is solid black-and-white fact.
 
I'm very 'meh' about this appointment but that doesn't mean it might not turn out to be a good one.

We'll be more solid for sure, which may be enough short-term but I highly doubt he'd be hired by rival clubs and can't help but think this is a sign of the club's lack of ambition.

I've a sneaky feeling his first job will be to sort the leaky defence, which may see the first 10-15 games lead to draws and close wins/losses.

I think all great teams are built off a solid defence. If your forwards can trust your defence, you will just be better all over the pitch.

It's an astonishing record.
At one point we had a similarly poor record against United dating back to the late 80's, but we turned that tide around the Redknapp era and have beaten them 5 times at OT since 2012. Still not a brilliant away record, but not a horror show either.
Think it was 11 years home or away in all comps before that 2012 win.

He's looking a bit old here. Might never see a return for him. If we get Frank he'll be here for min 18 months barring a catastrophic run of form. Poch will leave USANT in that time and get a new job, probably Man United in 26/27. He'll be 55 when 27/28 season kicks off.
Is he gonna be a coach who wants to go into his 60's? I'm not sure.

Not implying you're an Ange-bois, but do you think Ange would be hired by rival clubs? The notion is pretty LOL tbh. I don't think Ange will be hired by another PL club, never mind a top 6 PL club. Frank would absolutely be in the mix for Top 6 jobs.
