Obviously we were never going to act like a big club here.
Well, we did finish 17th last season.
Liverpool win the league but are spending big looking to further improve their squad, we were absolutely dog shit but as of yet have brought in no new additions (buying players previously on loan doesn't count).
Thomas Frank says
I should have listened to all the previous managers , other clubs CEO’s and ex players . When I reflect on my first two weeks I really can’t believe I bought into the bullshit I was fed.
In my opinion if he isn’t thinking like the above now he will be pretty soon
My chairman

How reliable is that account with less than 2k followers?
He won't be leaving anyway untill we have played the games in Korea.
Just call us Bet 365 Punt FC
Keep playing squad Acca Mr Levy, no doubt another Kane will come through the academy and you’ll find another Dele for 5m. We’ll be back in the CL Final in no time
who is Zoltar? can't find his YouTube reel
We do have a massive squad in terms of numbers, and Frank might be the type of manager to be happy with the level of players he has at his disposal here after managing Brentford for so long. He is a coach who believes he can improve any player so yeah I wouldn't be surprised if he says he is happy with the squad just as it is

Buying players previously on loan does, in fact, count, because they weren't 'our' players.
Nice try though. Please don't reply trying to argue with facts, it'll just be a waste of everyone's time and will be ignored.
We obviously still need to do a LOT more business though - I'm not arguing that point at all.
Regardless if we don’t buy a 6 and a wing forward to supplement the squad then we’re in for a bad season
Generally i agree with your comment except one thing. In alternate world: the moment we agree to pay Wolves asking price for Neto - Chelsea comes in and pays even more and hijacks IT anyway. Mendes was in contact with Chelsea during whole process to keep them updated
Nobody expected us to, we will make do with kids and 2/3 signings in addition.
Hence the last line in my post...
Thats what we are
You act as if you are surprised... lol
Why pretend as if we will all of a sudden act like a big club
Nor would I , be massively surprised if he meant it though
In further "staying put" news, Nico Williams has signed a new 10-year deal with Athletic, buy out clause up 50% to about €90 million.
Good lad.
Good lad.
AM like a '10'. Good passing skills. Only not scored or assists in Dutch Eredivisie during 18 matches / 986 minutes.
I'm afraid it's too big a gamble. Otherwise: buy and loan back to AZ would by great.

I don't think Frank cares that much tbh.......moving to Spurs from Brentford is a huge step up, a new challenge, European football, at his age it's probably his last chance to take an opportunity like this.
He is smart, even if Levy made outlandish promises I think Frank would have dismissed them and seen the reality based on the previous experiences of ex managers like you say.
That's fucked it then! I was hoping we'd have a front line of Williams Tel.In further "staying put" news, Nico Williams has signed a new 10-year deal with Athletic, buy out clause up 50% to about €90 million.

I’m not against Son seeing out his contract as I would expect him to be played to his strengths under Frank as opposed to flogged like a dead horse under Ange. It would however likely put an end to bring in a new wide left forward this summer. On the plus side it should mean more funds to secure a LB, CM, RFWD, Striker. Plus a CB should Romero leave.
Even with 4 additions I still feel we would lack quality in central midfield and attack, especially with the step up against Champions League opposition. Take say Kudus or similar out and we’re back to the average players we had last season. Not that it will happen but I would still be pursuing Eze or Simons.
