tbf Maresca isn't at Chelsea because they are a basket case
It works ( if done effectively) if your aspiration is to finish 17th or higher . And fair dues to the Brentfords , Bournemouths , Sunderlands etc of this world for achieving it . It’s the hardest task in modern football. Anything else is a bonus ; and that takes a lot of pressure off once survival has been attained.
It doesn’t necessarily work if you apply the same strategy to “ a bigger “ club who are looking to achieve top six as a minimum.
History tells us that .

Have to be honest. Wenger and Manuel pellegrini didnt cover themselves in glory wearing a tracksuit either.Club went from manager with aura and charisma to a personality vacuum
I mean look at the state of it, we should have known from then
Yeah, largely agree - although I think the end of Moneyball mentioned that the Red Sox won the World Series copying this approach. Baseball is far more a game of individual statistics.
You are a bit of a Doom monger, was convinced we would go down and do talk some tripe, but the point above is nailed on.
Fearful Frank can be consigned to the London Dungeons or sent into that Black Hole..
Frank's cunning plan, in fact so clever in its creation that he blindsided everyone, was to get sacked by us, only to walk right into the Liverpool role.
Wait for Frank to walk into the press conference, announcing that he is sure the Liverpool players won't like him, but once he gets them sorted on set-pieces and advises Szlobzslai to stop that outside the box shooting lark, that better days lay ahead.
Behind those scared eyes was a man of significance.

Let him be linked with the Liverpool job... THEN we'll see the wider football world's TRUE opinion of him!
The media seemed to love him, but that was when he was ruining US...
LETS SEE how they react to the idea of him playing Frank ball at Liverpool...
My guess is they wouldn't fancy it ALL OF A SUDDEN!

He's about 6th down the betting odds on Oddschecker for next Burnley manager, he's up against Gerrard, Bellamy, Robbie Keane, and two others that I haven't heard of.

Time to forgive him I think, i would love to see him make a comeback. I suggest he gets to manage for 10 mins of Soccer Aid . I think he could get the best out of Lee Mack and Olly Murs.
Exactly!! Its almost like the people in the know running clubs know better than some begrudging bitter crone in the the papers.
Apart from our lot tgat is
He's supposedly been linked with Fulham if their dumbass owner fumbles Silva's contract and he goes to Benfica.
That neither Frank or Postecoglou seem desirable to any elite side shows you how profoundly we fucked the recruitment.
Wonder if he will wait and see what happens with Denmark and the national job.
I think he has more ego than that
He'll want to prove he isnt a one hit wonder
Comes over all nicey nicey but I sense theres a bit of an asshole in there - has to be really to do the job in the first place
And once he fails, again, then he might go that route
If he restores his reputation at international level though? Saying that, I don’t know anything to do with the circumstances surrounding that role.
But yeah, if I am him, I am trying to get back into the Premier League. Failure at us isn’t exactly a black mark on your name.
It should be! But agree, it wont be seen that way
Despite RDZ absolutely EMBARRASING him in only 7 games - still cant get over how that seems to have escaped the media
When Mbeumo, Wissa and Norgaard who we were linked with seemed reluctant to follow Frank that should have set alarm bells ringing. Even Ange had pull of players.
He will relegate them. They are not good enough to put up with the shit we put up with and pull the trigger to find survival. That squad and club will collapse under Frank.
