Hes not going anywhere anytime soon is he
Be nice to also bring in ex players who've done it at the top level as attackers. And who are proper COYS.

The heitinga appointment does not inspire confidence. He seems very much like a journeyman coach to match our average journeyman manager.
Yeah I really liked Johnny as a player, he always gave 110%, was a proper team guy.
Let's not forget he's Dutch, like Micky...the powers that be may have taken that into consideration.
Ajax have been shite for years
What a load of utterly deluded Deranger twaddle.
It's as if the dying embers of the Conte reign - and the cataclysmic disaster of the Stellini/Mason interregnum never happened.
When Postecoglou took over we'd had 6 months of good football out of 4 fucking years of anti-football as a succession of managers had us dropping deeper and deeper into our own 12 yard box. We thought it would take years to sort that shit out. Postecoglou sorted it out in 6 weeks - simply by moving the line up; and telling the fucking players he trusted them - and demanded of them - to play forward football.
It was breathtaking to watch for half a season then we started to regress to the mean as injuries took over and Bissouma's golden patch ended but this pretence that we didn't play football - as opposed to the dross before and whatever the fuck it is we were trying with Bentinha - is utter fucking horseshit peddled by the same people who promised us "any half decent manager will have us flying up the table".
Well, Frank is the poster child of "half decent manager" - how's that worked out for you, you utterly ridiculous clowns?
We don't play good "football" because we a) don't have manager who wants too but more importantly b) we don't have enough actual technical footballers in the squad and never did.
Blimey... Such utter twaddle. It's embarrassing to read, mate. Get a grip.
Because while performances stay the same, and until now have shown no indication that they'll change, the fans won't have it.
It'll become too loud to ignore very soon.
Completely agree, I think this may prove to be the most important addition of the window.
The Board know that if they get rid of Frank, Cochrane is most likely to go with him leaving us with nobody to appoint as interim.
He was managing Ajax at the start of the season and so highly doubt he'd now be content with the role he's been given, might even be a nice incentive for Slot to join if the scousers do go with Alonso in the summer.
This must be the 2nd time in two days I've seen the word "journeyman" used totally incorrectly
A mile better than the brains trust that was here last season, mind.
According to the inner sanctum of football people, he is known to be a very good coach. Not quite so much as the No.1 but
You were one letter out from post of the yearThey’re Sacking him
Id have broken dry January for that one
Eh? It's used perfectly correctly in the above context to denote the difference between someone who has completed their apprenticeship and is qualified to do their job but is not yet a "master craftsmen"
Ie: a "half decent coach" but not "elite" (which the OP clearly doesn't believe Frank or Heitinga to be)
“I'm very aware how this football world works, no doubt about that. I know that we haven't got enough of the results we want.I know I can just see the small steps we're constantly doing. I still refer to the last six games with more positive, consistent performances, not perfect, but there's some good signs of a team.”

The best Frankie and Johnny since Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer?

Liverpool 2-1 (Some okplay at the end when the players were desperate still scored from a corner)
Palace 0-1 Spurs Scored from a corner had maybe two good moves.
Bretford 0-0 Spurs Did anything happen in this game
Spurs 1-1 Sunderland drew to a poor Sunderland side with 6 players at Afcon.
Bournemouth 3-2 Spurs Only the early goal was good
Spurs 1-2 Villa we got desperate and played goodfootball for 15 minutes.
No signs things are going to get better.
The Liverpool squad were reportedly very sad to see him go. He was a popular guy that helped a lot with the man management.
That may be a reason for bringing him in since Frank seems to struggle a bit with that element. That they'll balance each other out.
Imo heitinga is an upgrade on wells. Heitinga been involved with ajax but we need more higher calibre people involved with club albeit coaching, academy or ambassador. Would definitely have vertonghen, alderweireld and van der vaart involved in some capacity at club.
We've managed to actually look worse under Frank which is some feat.
I think it's okay to suggest we went backwards under the previous manager but to suggest that this manager shouldn't have the fingers pointed at him is objectively hilarious, Frank is doing a shit job in pretty much all aspects and so far a worse job than our previous one.
Could be the shortest appointment of all time
Lose to West ham and surely Frank is out on his ear
Can't imagine the next poor schmuck will want someone elses coaches
