Don't worry... think of the pay off in 18 months.
Thomas mate you only needed to watch 2 games under the Australian magician
Nah, he'll get enough out of what we've got to show he's worthy of the long term.
The task is to get rid of that bald gimp.
It depends what the boards goals are. I rate what Frank has done to us tactically so far in pre season, but he’d have to be a miracle worker to finish higher than 8th and navigate a respectable Champions League campaign with this squad. I think our deluded chairman wouldn’t be happy with that.
Goal, as always, is to do just enough to keep getting away with the con.
Whilst emotionally bonding the fans with players to compensate for lack of accomplishment.
Frank will show enough in our methodology to gain the support of the fans.
The rest will be laid at Baldcunt's hobbit feet.
Will be up to fans to finally get together and do something about it tho.
My choice would be turning the only thing he loves, the stadium, against him.
I've heard that one before! I think he'll need goals to keep the fans on side. A few goalless performances at home and the crowd will quickly turn.
Nah, he won't be blamed for lack of firepower.
Fans will appreciate the solidity of the team and it will expose Baldcunt's neglect at the sharp end of the pitch, if we're falling short there due to lack of creativity etc.
I cannot see Tel delivering anything, Solanke is still an unknown quantity, Richie is totally ineffective and Odobert is a work in progress and will take time, also came here and suffered two hammys under fat cunt (needing surgery!!). so expect him to break down again at some point.
Another body wrecked by that fat slob.
Kudus needs to wrapped up in cotton wool.
Only ray of light.
His inevitable sacking is his own fault for choosing to come to this club without having a clause in his contract stating he gets transfer backing of a couple of hundred million. And can be paid off in full should that not happen.
If I was an up and coming manager I wouldn't countenance coming to this club unless something like that was in place as I don't trust Levy and whatever promises he made in the job interview.
Got nothing against Frank or his coaching ability but he is being set up to fail and that makes him another yes man in my book.

Worked wonders with Brentford on peanuts.
Will be fine.
Even with Baldcunt hobbling him from the off.
Actually, we're fucking lucky to have gotten him.
Baldcunt actually brought in the perfect manager to be able to offset his shithouse behaviour in the marker to a meaningful degree.
Remember, Baldcunt saying he wants to win prem/CL is obvious nonsense.
So it's not like he'll be sacked for coming 8th in his first season.
As long as the money is coming in and the fans aren't going bonkers at him in public, he content.
Took him years to build Brentford. He won't get that time here, he won't even get to pick his own players it will all be Lange buys.
No way he makes it past 18 months. Come back in here in 18 months and he will be the primary problem on the lips of every fan. Just like Ange was. I can see it now. "If we get rid of this Danish cunt and his backwards tactics and get a real coach like (whoever the latest flavour of the month is doing vaguely well with some provincial club) we will be fine."
Worked miracles in how we play in just a few weeks.
And, ovderall, working with a better talent pool.
I'm bullish on Frank.
He'll prove his worth and value to us.
And it will shine a brighter spotlight on Baldcunt's deficiencies.
Shame Middlesbrough haven't been able to get back to the PL, that would be another closer one.Definitely mate,that’s one of the close ones for me as I live in Scotland
Although it is hard to say which is more god-forsaken out of Sunderland and Middlesbrough.
The difference in how we play compared to the unholy mess of last season.
Stop pretending you don't know what I'm saying.
Or maybe you can't appreciate it.
I dunno.
Frank and Lange worked together at Lyngby before both of their careers took off. I have zero doubts Lange will do everything he can to set Frank up for success and get the players he needs within the budget that baldcunt set for him.
I'm not pretending anything. Its pre-season. You can't read anything into it.
You can't even read anything into Franks first 10-15 PL games.
Do you not remember all of the hype and the Robbie Williams songs after Ange started out first 10 games unbeaten? All of the bullshit being spouted by our fanbase and the media about how revolutionary Ange ball was, and what a breath of fresh air. Gary Neville wanking himself silly with a tactical analysis.
How we had our Tottenham back and all that guff?
I think must have short memories.
Frank isn't going to fix us in a couple of months, Its going to take a long time. He can start the process and get a bit of a new manager bounce and of course we won't be worse than we were in the league last season where everyone collectivley gave up on the league after Christmas.
And I don't realistically think he will be given that time. None of our managers ever are.
There's already a clear, fundamental change and improvement in how we set up and play.
If you can't see that and don't understand that, then there's no conversation here.
