Are you Frank Out or In?

You miss out one crucial part of the analysis; which is, does the STYLE that the coach uses able to scale up to a club with higher expectations?

That’s why Bayern still went for Kompany despite Burnley going down with little resistance.

Pochettino’s style was able to translate to a bigger club and the likes of Frank/Nuno’s wasn’t.
So we need to find a manager from one of the smaller clubs who gets his team to play possession football.
I tend to think Frank was chosen because Lange knows him from a team they were both involved with in Denmark.
 
Frank could have stepped up, could have seized the opportunity.

He was allowed a massive back room team to support as well.

He could have done a Poch, settled in and made things happen

He hasn't

Time to pull the plug

Doesn’t have to be possession football, just an element of flair and attacking play rather than panicking about our opponents

He was chosen to, basically be a Brentford and punch above our weight, without having to go near expensive signings.
Find him, promising talent and polish them up.
Sadly, it hasn't worked and the team look worse than ever.

So he was meant to be a turd polisher but there's still no shine.
People talk about our CBs being so good but we seem to concede a lot.

Precisely - which is why it is dangerous to get caught up in pure results when discussing a coach.

Post in thread 'Nuno Espírito Santo'
Manager - Nuno Espírito Santo

Eder Sarabia of Elche would be my pick. Averages over 58% possession, and Elche are performing at their strongest for 51 years (currently 9th in La Liga)
 
Lose today (we will) and surely that’s it?
Depends on I feel. If we're getting absolutely hammered by Palace and the away fans are loudly showing their frustration towards Frank and the team then yeah, it could be it. If it's similar to the game against Liverpool, where we lose but show some sort of spirit and the ref or VAR is making some horrible decisions that shifts the focus, then we´re probably delaying the inevitable for a little while.
 
I think if we fail to win either of the next two he should go.

I don't think he'll ever work out regardless.

He's just too bland to inspire. And I think that's a big part of management.
 
This guy is such a loser imagine him trying to instil confidence in you as a player

We need to drop him, he’s not a spurs manager, he’s a Brentford manager
Thing is I doubt even Brentford would have him back at the moment as they look better without him , I could see him going Palace when Glasner leaves and doing alright there, alright as in not getting relegated and mid table
 
I think one of the problems in the dressing room is that the players have gone from a manager that made the players believe that anything is possible to a manager that clearly thinks they are mostly shit cunts.
