Also, zero costs with De Zerbi, so we could give him a contract until the end of the season with an option to extend.

It’s a very simple question: who stops us getting relegated. De Zerbi, Heitinga or another?
De zerbi sounds like someone who could get us relegated. He's not an "eek out results kind of manager".

He's a Vincent kompany. He'll attack and stick to hil philosophy even if it meant us going down.
 
I will give Frank this one crumb of comfort. The players downed tools months ago so it wasn't all him

The evidence was clear to say against villa and games throughout. Minimal running, no winning of second balls, zero movement

Still a good awful manager tho
Frank is the reason they downed tools. He couldn't inspire anyone. He drained all their confidence by parking the bus at home every week and having the fans boo the team off the park regularly.

De Zerbi is never coming in short term

Most likely he'll take a few months off, wait for the summer, get a job then

If we want him now, he'll be demanding a big contract and assurances, relegation clauses, staying up bonus... the works

This may well be true, but fuck me it’s a disgusting state of affairs.

Hundreds of thousands of pounds a week, but our cosseted like wankers need someone to inspire them to run a bit harder and not pass like dickheads.

I hate modern football.
 
The Club has taken the decision to make a change in the Men’s Head Coach position and Thomas Frank will leave today.

Thomas was appointed in June 2025, and we have been determined to give him the time and support needed to build for the future together.

However, results and performances have led the Board to conclude that a change at this point in the season is necessary.

Throughout his time at the Club, Thomas has conducted himself with unwavering commitment, giving everything in his efforts to move the Club forward. We would like to thank him for his contribution and wish him every success in the future.




Thats it. The best they can say is he worked hard. We know he worked hard, he kept telling us 😄

Why no comment about what a great guy he was round the lunch table, how all the layers were going well or how aligned they were on his leaving?

Do you think someone like De Zerbi with his massive ego would take a short term gig like us? I don’t think so.

I don’t want him here as he’d be a Temu Conte and ultimately torch the place.

We need a caretaker who can motivate the troops and then reassess in the summer.

Depends.

He might see this as his opportunity to land a cushy PL gig. If we stay up, Poch is going to come in.

I don’t think managers are as picky as we think. They look at it as a paying job and take opportunities as and when they appear.

I don’t know who it should be. But I know who it shouldn’t be.

We're in this shit because we've spent all season waiting to see what the opposition do, before watching them go 1 or 2 up and then start playing.

We can play. We have showed it. We played City off the pitch for 45 minutes and beat them away. Went toe to toe with European Champions PSG twice.

We need someone who gives these players the confidence to start games thinking we can win and go for it from the off.
We just don't do that and it's awful.
