I watched the game. He looked pretty average to me. Didn’t even get on the ball that much. Two set play assists. First a miss hit? That bobbled across the floor. The second a corner.

First half he gave the ball away a couple of times early on, over hit a couple of balls in behind and one shot dragged wide. Second half one nice bits of play on the left, one cross on the right he dug out pretty well. Apart from that nothing much, he was drifting around the pitch without getting in areas to get the ball or really effect it. He doesn’t look particular good athlete either. Fatawu and Winks when he came on we’re better

You are looking at the wrong criteria , does he play for a team that got relegated that is what really counts.
 
Quotes are hardly encouraging, are they?

We take a hiding on Wednesday I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Frank tells them to do one before the season starts.

He’s hit speaking out about club mentality levels before one competitive game. Takes everyone else at least a year. 👀👀👀

How much money is transferred to ENIC?
Joe Lewis had a misdemeanour in the USA and had to pay 💰 millions did the club contribute to this. This is why we need new owners!

ENIC should have gone when poch was sacked. Tbh poch was a lifeline to ENIC as they were on thin ice just before he was appointed. AVB was a shit appointment and the sherwood gillet incident made us look farcical. Theyve outstayed their welcome by about 6 years imo.

I genuinely thought this was the initial cryptic ravings of Hercules on some in coming ITK. Im here trying to work out which German/ Italian international masterstroke Levy's pulled. Then I get its just Matt at Altern Towers.

I fucking wish I was at Alton Towers. I was literally in a field full of parents with kids getting off their tits while So Solid Crew, General Levy m, Luck n Neat and Nicky Blackmarket were on stage.
The lineup would have been mega.
Had if been 1999.
Inside.
At night.
With no kids.
And aircon. Fcuking lots of aircon.

I love the quotes. Aren't great for Lange. Lange really seems to be out of his depth. We really need a new head of recruitment. Franks been here for a while and Lange still doesn't understand the player frank is looking for???:frankfacepalm:
 
They simply don't want to invest in the playing squad like other teams that actually want to win. If it doesn't increase the value of their asset, there not interested.
What i said earlier is true, we could go and spend 350m tomorrow and still be within the PSR. That's how far from doing as much as they can they are.

Posted in the TF thread, perhaps better here...



Thomas Frank on the squad, and how close is it to being what he wants...

"I think that's difficult. I think that there's no doubt that I want, how can I say this, a big enough, small enough squad! You know what I mean?

It needs to be big enough and robust enough to compete in all four tournaments because that's extremely important, but I can't have too many players.

It's just so difficult to keep everyone happy, it is almost impossible, and then we also want to see if we can add in enough quality, but again, we don't want to sign players we don't think can really improve the squad.

Then I would rather wait to have the right talented players. I'm not here for the short term fix.

I want to build something that can last, so we need to think longer term, but of course we need to compete now. That's my thought process."

The more quotes and interviews I see the more worried I get. This just feels like a mess. All the reports about Frank going through the players he wanted during the interview process lol another load of Ali gold nonsense!

Sounds like Frank is 2 months into the job and the club still don't know what he wants. We really have to replace Lange anyway, its been a total disaster since he's come in. Its like he's just muddied the waters and made the whole process of signing and selling players unnecessarily complicated.

Reminds me of that Damien Comolli spoofer we had who ruined Jol's team and turned our transfer strategy into a joke. It was so refreshing when Harry came in and said he wanted to make all the transfer decision. Too many of these cooks in the kitchen and its never worked for us.

Sadly it looks like levy has the manager he covets the most a Yes man.
He will crack on with the job and do what he is told.
