He's a bit of a knob but I thought he was satisfactory at his stint as an interim manager.

Manager Thomas Frank

The main problem I'm referring to that I'm pinning on to Frank are the rumours of players looking to leave, i.e Tel, Dragusin, Richy (lol), VdV stalling his contracts etc.
Apart from VdV these are all players who are written off on here on the daily anyway. So Dragusin has problems with his play tine so what? While Romero and VdV are available he's always going to be second fiddle. Tel maybe should play more but it's not like he's ever dropped a 10/10 performance.
Frank is a symptom of our problems, not the cause
His stats were decent as I recall and the football was fun
Sure - there is just one person to blame. Change the manager and we become all harmonious and finish top three!
Stop kidding yourself.
Don’t get me wrong he was definitely set up. Fucking mug for falling for it though.
Also his fault that Kane and Son decided to leave, I reckon. Or is it the club's lack of ambition and spending - including replacing those players - clearly demonstrating that we're not here to win trophies.
If we hadn't ditched Ange, we would be top three.
A lof of simple fans could watch the exact same match play out the exact same way, but with a different coach on the sideline.
And they, in their mind, would see something different.
They've usually decided before a ball is kicked the X manager plays boring football so what they see is boring football. But Y manager plays good football so that's what they see.
It's like slapping 2 different labels on the same bottle of wine. Many people will claim the premium looking bottle tastes better.
Sure, we had no attacking mids under conte then no defensive mids under Ange.
But I'm not sure either would have used them even if they did.
Ange would have Palinha stationed on the edge of the D.
The opponents D.

Sometimes clubs ask managers to resign and pay them even more for it.
It would certainly looks better for us if we could convince managers to publicly resign as the next candidate wouldn't be worried about the sack after 10-20 games.
We did lash out a club record £60 million on Dominic Solanke, a reliable centre forward who never got injured.
I genuinely can't tell who is joking and who is certifiably mental on here anymore
I don't want Glasner. Do not get a coach used to playing 90% of games on the break. We need a coach whose football is centered on attacking patterns and breaking down his oponents through movement. I wanted to give Gallardo a shot for this reason but he never learned English. Naggelsman, Poch, Dezerbi (just about) Xavi, it has to be one of these guys.
Palace had 71% possession today and lost.
I don't really care how a coach sets up, as long as it works.
Dominating possession and having lots of attacks was as much use as a kick stand for a quad bike for Ange.
Username checks out on this one though
