Problem with your argument is that you assume Frank will finish 9th and won't win a cup. I mean that is where he is at now in Brentford and I'm sure he wants to take the next step to a bigger club. So we need to give him a chance to see what he can do.


Note:
Brentford is a club that has over a 100 year history but had ZERO 1st tier football until Frank came and they never looked back.
That itself is also an achievement. Plus, other promoted teams tend to get relegated again but not Brentford and he has created a successful system there with the capital and personnel given to him.

I'm not assuming anything. If you'd like to bet me that Frank will finish top 5, win a trophy, and qualify for the CL, I will take that £5 bet.

I work for Coaches Voice, all the staff agree that he came across the best of any manager/coach we've ever interviewed.

I’m more interested in if he’s got the chops to actually win something than how he came across in an interview. I find most coaching content about football to be fluffy and skirting round the edge. It makes sense really, what coach really wants to give too much away for a YouTube video?

Only time will tell I guess.

Hate this idea we should let players hold us to hostage like this and we should somehow encourage it. No player or manager is bigger than this club.

But I don't believe any of it anyway. I remember Brennans post match interview after the final and they asked him about Anges future and it was noticeable how noncommittal he sounded about him.

I never believed all that mularkey about "Ange has the dressing room".

No player I want would be happy with the awful tactics, subs, lack of adjustment, terrible management of injuries and all the rest. None of them should have been happy with the results, overall. They should hate losing so much they want to play for anyone who can change it.

If they were angry with anyone about Ange's sacking at all, they should be angry with themselves for being so poor for 18 months that the club couldn't possibly keep him.

They'll spend their holidays thinking whatever they like, and when training begins they'll all be back to collect their wages and compete for minutes in the best league on earth and in the CL.

If they aren't prepared to do that then we'll carry on with people who want to be here

This video is a must watch for me

Love the way how he talks.... on tactics, & how he prepares the players for game.

This is the type of manager I like. Its not rocket science, or reinventing the wheel. But you need different systems based on the opposition you play. Teams have various strengths and weaknesses. You have to counter their strengths and exploit their weaknesses.

From boxing to tennis to football, you cant have one style of play to beat every opponent (unless you are totally dominant like City, Sabalenka, Pacquiao etc...) For mere mortals, you have to adapt and change.
