Yeah I'd say that's it and I'm not against it tbh. Bringing in a new manager half way through the season just isn't good business.

That was Levy though
This is the new regime and they will want to make their mark somehow
Yeah it's feeling Nuno all over again and I turned on Nuno myself. But we've seen the cycle. I'm happy to stick out the season I think
I mean in real life. Frank hasn't really been under any pressure from the media or anything directly at him at the ground until now maybe
Nah I'm not out and won't be until it's absolutely untenable (to be fair I'm like that with al my managers)
I am definitely looking at him differently, his approach to matches have been alarmingly negative, you generally get what you deserve if you're constantly setting up like that.
All comps we are W 8 D 5 L 6, GOALS FOR 32- AGAINST 20.
Last season 11-2-6, 41-21.
We have won 3 fewer, lost the same. Scored 9 fewer, conceded 1 more.
This season: EPL 5-3-4, 20-14
Last season 6-1-5, 27-13.
One fewer points, one fewer win, 7 fewer goals scored, 1 fewer goals conceded.

Vinai was the one who earmaked him, he said that in the Promo video.
You think the club would allow Levy to pick the manager knowing that he'd get canned 2 months later, I don't think so.
This 100 percent
Players under Ange would have given alot more than passing backwards and hoofing hopelessly upfront. Or at least we know the motivation will be there than being instructed to sit deep and no concede.
Look at all the cockroachs crawling from under the wood work...
Emotionally broken men, acting like children.
Shit performance, poor setup by Frank, but being honest, we have so much shit in our squad, it wouldn't really matter how we setup.
But yeah, you kids enjoy throwing ya teddies out the pram
Not buying better players as one of the world's biggest clubs is, the main reason for the mess we are in.
I don’t like Frank’s football. It’s stale and ineffective. He set us up to draw and we still ended up conceding 4.
That’s the biggest concern for me. The fact that he can’t even execute that game plan with players like Romero/VDV/Bentancur/Paulinha in the side.
We sacrifice creativity for solidity and concede 4 fucking goals.
A separate issue is that any manager that has to start Richarlison and Odobert is fucked before the game even starts.
An undercooked squad is the fault of the owners. Poor coaching and tactics is the fault of the manager. Lack of heart, effort and energy is the fault of the players. Across the board, we’re atrocious.

Didn't know that.
The fact we signed about 3,432 members of his back room staff means it would be a costly one to scrap after a few months, but this is the basket case we've become
Looking at what players he has to work with I still give him support (not sure if I should as he wanted us to sign Tel)
we have a bunch of duffers that need moving on, Richy, Odobert, Tel, Johnson (unless we go 2 up front)
why are players recieving the ball facing our goal ( that is coaching)

Have defended TF all season despite saying I haven't been convinced.
Let's be honest this game is almost always a defeat but I thought he might have developed something looking like an organised side by now though, even if results had not have followed.
I'm concerned. I'm not quite Frank out but that's mainly because I can't name a suitable replacement. Like someone said, if he is sacked tomorrow I wouldn't care - but I do suspect a gutless and spineless squad is a huge part of the problem that would still exist post-Frank should he depart sooner rather than later.

If the club can't identify a clearly better manager and actually shell out the dough for them it's hard to see how more instability would be beneficial.
