I don't think teams "worked us out". My feeling is that we reached the end of a cycle. Burned out. Couldn't keep the levels we had achieved in the previous 3 or 4 seasons.

Then how didn't he take what he was doing at Spurs anywhere else? Why is he managing the US and not a top team?

Once teams accepted we would press them, they stopped playing, shut up shop and we had no plan B. They'd just pump balls up and target Davies, who even then had no pace and it was match after match. Jose came in and got a tune out of that squad immediately, also well past his sell by date.

I get what you are saying, but he went from us to PSG. No one else had manged to sqaure the circle of the owners model until the Qatari's worked out that it was their game plan that was at fault.

I feel at Chelsea he was hard done by. He was in the ascendency, just getting them to tick, but because he didn't win anything he was the sacrificial lamb.

I guess he's at the USMNT because they offered him a fucking huge salary.
 
Will be on a hiding to nothing if we don't strengthen the squad or start the season well (which I guess would have been no different to Ange).

I'm actually surprised he'd want the job over nice safe Brentford.
 
Poch came from Southampton, he did alright.
I think Frank might be a team builder. I hope he brings his recruiting mechanism with him, the transfer market is ridiculous. At least we are not paying £80m per head for guys who can't score in the premiership, like United do
 
I think he will be a decent appointment! Of the managers we could attract he excites me the most. Good track record in a tough league managing a team who sell their best players each season.

I just hope he is given a fair chance by the fans

He isn't the manager yet. If/when it is so then of course back him. That doesn't change the fact his CV is totally empty and we are rolling the dice on the basis he got 9th.

He has PL experience and has done well in the league year after year. It's unlikely that he will lose anything close to 22 games in a season. It's also likely that he would beat the mighty Bodo Glimt. AZ, and Frankfurt. He's beaten better teams than that. He would also most likely win with Celtic, like every manager does. So it's not riskier than having anyone who just lost 22 games.
