Has he?

He's got his biggest ever job managing a top 6 club in the Prem playing in the CL with most of his back room staff and his mates, I doubt he's seeing things through the lens of our fans. This is the most backing he's ever had in a transfer window in his life so he's not gonna be crying at the fact that we didn't get some 21 year old from Serie A who he's probably never fucking heard of anyway.

He'll back himself to get the most out of these players and push the club on, I think whatever happens his stock will fly up regardless.

What a ridiculous comment.

That 21 year old from Serie A is one of the biggest talents in the World. What about the constant disappointments in the market? What about the fact that he's lost Son, Maddison and Kulusevski and has not replaced EITHER OF THEM yet, while he's been pretty vocal about it in the media.

What backing has he recieved? Kudus and Palhinha? Wow. Insane. Look around at what his rivals are doing.

Your delusion never, ever dissapoints. You're so far up ENIC's bottom it's not even funny anymore, it's just sad.

Take a break from this forum for a while, and come back in January so you can spout some more nonsense at how great this regime is.

Conte didn't want to be here from the get go and thought he was too big for us. The club have put of that they want to compete in all comps but it's another typical vague statement as we don't really know what it means.

My guess is:

Top 6 finish
Qualify from the CL group stage
FA and carabao QF/SF

They'll be happy with this as long as Frank's goals of impriving the players and maybe bringing a couple of players through the youth system or something...

I think Frank is capable of that unless we have a mad injury crisis like last season.

IMO Conte was loving life in his first 6 months and he changed the moment that summer window closed. Wanted out from there on.

Agree the club would probably be happy with those meager offerings but if we get to the QFs of the Carabao and Qualify from the CL groups, that will likely cause an injury crisis with a squad this thin.

We saw last year it was too thin and so far we are 2 in 2 out from a numbers perspective.

Oh dear you're emotional, please try and read and comprehend the post before you go off one.

I don't fucking care how good or shit Paz is that wasn't my point.

My point was that Frank isn't seeing the club through the same lens as the fans who are emotional, this is his first big gig and will happily sip the ENIC cool aid despite what goes on in this club for now, if he doesn't get his 10 he's not going to throw his toys out the pram unlike other managers would, why would he? He's far too nobel for that and respectful for that and instead of pissing his pants at this window and at the current state of the squad like fans like you are, he'd be actually relishing working under constraints, he's literally made a career out of it.

Telling me to take a break from the site, lol I've just literally come back 🤣

Our fans just need to touch grass generally, ths guy is happy to stick around and want to push this club on, be happy whilst it lasts.

Your point is that he won't care that he's missing out on Paz because "he wouldn't even know who he is" which is utter bullshit.

As for not getting his players, on his 2nd fucking press conference he explained how much easier the recruitment process was at Brentford, compared to the shit show of meetings that happens here.

What sort of lunatic thinking is that he'll be happier and will fancy having a harder job instead of an easier one? What the fuck?

Of course, £15m per year will do that and we were winning, as soon as that 2nd window came around he realised he was at the wrong club.

It's what is is with this club managers are always going to be under a contraint but I'm happy they finally chose this manager who is used to challenges like these.

Stats say more likely working for Levy he leaves with a damaged reputation. How many managers has he employed went on to better things afterwards

Poch with PSG was a step up

Happy for you to rattle of any others who enhanced their rep . I think one could definitely say Redknapp but after Levy he chose to become a celebrity.

EDIT : Ange managed to win our first trophy since the invention of the wheel , his reputation got shredded

Because you're ignoring the original context of why I responded, Ed implied that Frank has made a mistake (it was just a meme so Im sure he was joking) and I said I don't agree with it based on the facts I mentioned...ask yourself do you think Frank think he's made a mistake joining this club in relation to where he's come from despite the TW? Because I don't think he has and I don't think he'll be seeing it that way because either way his stock goes up regardless.

Again you're emotional because you're not actually thinking, Of course life was so much easier at Brentford because they were going for mid fucking players on a wage budget of uncer £50k per week lol AND he was working at that club for 7 years, he built relationships with the recruitment team and the staff there, if you expect him to have the same relationship with our staff in 2 months whilst going for better players and shopping at a higher shelf then more fool you and despite you taking his comments as gospel in his press conference he also said that he completely trusts Lange, Vinai and Levy in how they're working - now whether you believe that quote or not I don't really care if it's true ir false but it's there - but you're only choosing to believe one side because that's the narrative you're choosing to believe.

As for your last line you've completely twisted my comment, untwist it and untwist your nickers whilst your there, thank you sir.

I think Frank will do well, much better than these managers anyway hence why I think his stock will go up. He's happy to be here like Poch was and doesn't have the ego of Ange/Conte/Jose.
