Forever baffled by that.

Same as De Zerbi

I massively rate De Zerbi- think he's a quality manager and reckon his style scales up to a club like Spurs a lot better than Iraola's does. Currently 2 points of the top of Ligue 1, keeping pace with PSG and beat Newcastle in the CL. Think the main reason he struggled a bit in his 2nd season was juggling league and Europe with their squad and not feeling he was sufficiently backed in the market.

The big issue with him is he's a colossal cunt.

Brentford game seems to be now what is going to tilt a lot of us fan's opinion and perspective on whether we're Frank in or out.
Hopefully Frank can start getting home wins, instead of us talking about the possibility of a new manager.

If one game on isolation can change everyone's minds, against a team we should be beating no less, after witnessing months of this absolute dross, then we are not serious people.

No win in 5, blowing a 2 goal lead, 4-0 loss to Villa and losing at home to Everton.

He'd get eaten alive here. I'm not sure he'd cope with two games a week.

Fans wouldn't give him much grace with him looking like a homeless donkey either. He's a bit odd and doesn't project competency.

Whilst that means nothing for his football ability, it'd be the first thing people jump on. I mean, how many times is Frank's hair mentioned as a criticism? Levy for being 'bald'? People leap on presentation as the first thing

I have got questions about whether his style would scale to the top of the table but tbf it is still Bournemouth that he's managing and he has lost all of his key defenders in the Summer. It's still an excellent start for them regardless of recent form.
 
I think we need to go for someone from outside of the Premier League, that has experience of managing two games a week from being in European competition.

Ange's style was too frantic and intense - so was incompatible with PL and EL football
Frank just has no experience of this frequency of games - he's used to not having to rotate and having 5 days to prepare for every match

I think he's a good manager, and will end up at a European competing club.

It was more that our fanbase doesn't have the patience to allow him to lose matches whilst learning. I like Iraola.

Unless there's a root and branch review of all football operations at this club, the lovechild of Brian Clough and Alex Ferguson would get sacked within 6 months here.

I'm just so bored of it all

It is why there is no point changing manager. We have no idea how ENIC will now approach things (I'm sceptical it will change) or whether they will sell us. Amanda Staveley and her group can bid again in March if invited to do so. I'm not sure that is as dead as we are led to believe.

If we are to go for anyone, surely it has to be in the summer when Poch and Tuchel will probably be available? It has to be one of those two or Alonso if Madrid sack him off. There is zero point going for someone not of that calibre or else we will just keep on treading water.
 
To be honest I think we either trust in Frank, let him dig in, fight with the team and learn how to cope with Spurs and the demanding schedule - or any manager that comes in needs to be prepared and have a team around them that is able to cope with two, and even three, games per week. If I'm honest that seems to be one of the major issues - Frank makes a lot of changes without the team fully bedding into them. Better that he picks one system that suits our players and coaches the team to hurt the opposition and respond to changes within that system than constantly changing it
 
The problem with Frank out is that you aren't replacing him with better.

The obvious looks are Iraiola and Glasner but they aren't going anywhere.

Especially with the Liverpool situation as it is. Any top 10 manager with eyes of leaving their current situation will be looking at Arne Slot's job before Thomas Frank's.
 
Whoever it is needs to have outstanding pedigree or they simply will never be accepted. Must have:

Managed and won a Tournament at International level.

Managed and won league titles at at least 3 different clubs - preferably across three continents.

Won at least one major European Trophy.


Good luck finding a suitable candidate with those qualifications :D
