I think it was the poor Woolwich match that really done for Nuno, it was as bad as our match with them recently.

Another weird one to me is AVB has the third highest win ratio in the club's history, the other two were one during WW2, and one around about when the club was first founded.

Get that, better than Pochettino, better than Burkinshaw, better than Nicholson.

This is one very weird club.

Why are you resorting to insults here.

You're comparing the start of the 2nd season of Postecoglu, with few notably injuries, with a team that had a over a year of his "training" in his system, in a season that started well but fell off a cliff from this point onwards.

It's 2 + 2 = egg

The issue here is that I can read; you're claiming impartiality but completely disregarding any fair comparison.

Being realistic, there was next to nothing good at all about either Postecoglou season apart from the first 10 games, so why can't we compare across the last 26 PL games?

Ange: P13 W2 D2 L9 = 8 points from 39; 15 goals scored, 28 conceded
Frank: P13 W5 D3 L5 = 18 points from 39; 21 goals scored, 16 conceded

That would be fair, considering frank is also juggling a ton of injuries, Champions League football, AND having to continue from what was left over.

He didn't pick up a team off the back of a top 5 finish with a fully fit first team squad
I say again, my post has no bearing on who's in charged but purely on facts of the league standing at specific match weeks comparing the two seasons. My apology if that comes across as insults to you as there was totally no intention to that. If our comprehension of each other posts are so way off, let's just agree to disagree.

We are sacky sack addicts for sure
 
I though Sherwood did pretty well as an intern.

According to Wikipedia he ended up with 50.00% win ratio which is still pretty good, AVB had 55.00% win ratio for his whole tenure.

He was good for the club in a lot of ways, and perhaps a bit of a trend setter - called out the board Conte style before it was seen as been due, gave opportunities to Kane and a few others that paved the way, did pretty well overall considering.

Trouble was, and is - he's an absolute melon.

If he had no personality he'd have perhaps been a real success here. The one he has is his worst enemy.

Imagine being a Premier League winning captain and a somewhat decent football manager that no one really remembers or likes. He should probably hold a god like status in Blackburn.

Put the weirdo goon on ignore.
 
I think it's beginning to become clear that Frank is out of his depth. We need a winning manager with a proven track record to come in and be given carte blanche. How about Inzaghi? Get Paratici on the blower to Saudi Arabia.
This team is on paper, bad, and in practice woeful. So it's not all Frank's fault. But an elite manager would get a tune out of this motley crew.
 
I am starting a daily Q&A with Thomas Frank.

Hi Thomas, I must say your hair is looking very healthy today. Can you explain why 4 of our 5 league wins this season have been against teams placed 14th on lower?
