What a shit appointment that was. 8 months of nothing, the brief positive spell I recall in his tenure was a couple of clean sheets we failed to build on? Every single player regressed or been crocked. He brought an army of analysts and still achieved fuck all. In a weird way it gives me hope though, football isn't just maths — you can crunch numbers all you want, but if you can’t actually coach or motivate, it’s pointless.
Spence couldn’t be fucked to close down his man once last night. 1 v 1 defender is the one thing he’s got ability to be good at. Thinks he’s way better than he is and too good for that now. Strolling around with his hands tucked into his sleeves. No one knows what these players are like behind the scenes and in training but anyone who says Romero and Porro don’t show more passion, aggression than that is being disingenuous. Maybe because both have spoke up this season ruffled some feathers. Do you bother doing that if you don’t care. They also didn’t completely blank/dismiss the manager publicly.
I’m almost certain when everyone’s back the next will be playing Romero and Porro and Spence won’t be starting.
Anyone got the behind paywall version of Tom Allnuts article from times? All I keep getting is this version
Starting to look like Romero is at the heart of our problems, maybe a bad example who's a fucking captain ffs.
I mean when you think about it, we've made a player, albeit very talented when he can be bothered, captain who has a very questionable attitude.
As a Club we don't have good enough standards, simple as that.

Going by the reports It seems like the Frank never actually made Romero captain and then hired Frank to oversee it, this club making terrible decisions yet again.
All the fundamental problems emanate from the top mate.
We're not a serious football Club.
We're just a sports/entertainment venue now milking every income stream possible.
It's this mindset from the owners that's the real problem.
So it’s all coming out now from these shithouse fucking players. Two managers they have thrown under the bus and they still have the fucking nerve to blame it on others. Ok Frank didn’t help himself with tactics , but it sounds as though some players ( Romero ) completely disrespected him .
I cannot stand this team . I want them all fucking gone.
Good luck to Frank wherever he goes anyway

Fucking brondby as well.
Only Porro and Palhinha I believe from what I have seen. Both quite short as well.
It's fair enough that the players dont post, but they also need to feel responsible for the position we are in.

If we survive I hope whoever the manager is, insists on getting Romero out of the club.
More hindrance than help.
Harry is the obvious choice to be the man manager
Again, if true, the players have to take some of the blame for the situation we're in.
Makes sense to us but the Gen Z kids wouldn't know what to make of a boomer like Harry telling them to do.
We have to be realistic about these things.
I don't think they threw Ange under the bus. Injuries and we just sort of fizzled out killed him, but the players loved him for some reason. Seems like they took exception to Frank from the off and definitely threw him under the bus.
