Not sure about Frank myself but, would suit the companies policy on recruitment.
If the club are recruiting specific players, he would likely be open to this and not rock tbe boat.
His job will be to develop what is given into a functional team competing in the top 6.
 
IDK who you're informed by but we have significantly outspent Inter Milan every single season since Inzaghi became their manager in 2021 and he was manager of Lazio for 5 years prior, he certainly is not what you would describe as a "big budget" manager, he's made the most of what he has had to work with at both clubs and done very well in Italy. Jury is out on what he could achieve here but certainly 2 CL final appearances with Inter and a serie A are the kind of credentials that are hard not to get excited about.

We outspent them on wages?

We definitely didn’t outspend the rest of the PL on wages to the same degree that Inter did the Serie A.
 
Essentially seems like if we can get a name that we like in, he'll go. If not, he starts the season.
If the club has any wit they'll have a quick look at Man Utd and how they acted last summer and realise that once you've undermined the manager by speaking to candidates about the job in a way that's been allowed to be made public, you cannot go back and say, "ooh dear, we'll keep you then". It doesn't work and cannot work.. When you've decided he's not the man, he's done.

Spot on. The picture of Commoli with Ramos and then keeping Jol for 3 months another example. The manager has no authority and the players switch off. We have to change now.

Our weekly payroll is 47,000 euros less than theirs. So, a youth player's wages. I don't see what spending parity with the rest of the league has to do with comparing the club-to-club resources. Nor what it would have to do with his performance in European competition since he can't very well only play Italian sides in that, can he?
Also, haven't I heard a lot of chat about how we've "downsized the wage budget" the last couple seasons, so theoretically during Allegri's Inter reign we have indeed outspent them on wages?

Well put.

If you prioritize the one competition where glory is possible at the expense of a few quid from league positions, you get sacked by these clowns.

The game might be about glory for fans but not for Levy.


17th.

38 points.

Year and a half of being terrible against our actual peers.

No actual progression.

Park the bus football to scrape a winnable competition isn’t genius coaching nor a reason to keep a coach on.

Y’all are ridiculous. Of course the board aren’t gonna keep someone in charge just because they threw everything at the EL.
 
I assume you’ve only ever watched them in the prem then .. where their budget and playing squad has decided the style.

Guy is levels ahead of Ange. Can’t wait.


You think what he did in the championship matters now?

You spent the last 2 years saying what Ange did in Scotland was irrelevant. Even after winning the second biggest European trophy there is you are sticking to that but now Frank in the Championship matters?

You are a blatant gooner
