The hate boner some of you have for Frank is quite funny I have to say.
At least I gave Ange a chance before deciding he wasn't it.

Palace went 2-0 up v City and lost 5-2.
We went 2-0 up against PSG and draw 2-2.
We went 2-0 up v City and won 4-0.
Palace went ahead at Goons and couldnt hold on.
We know youve got a hard on for Glasner but give it a rest. He's very good, as it Frank, but he's not the 2nd coming of Christ.
Who has this hate boner you are seeing?
I’m not seeing any boners at all. Maybe you just see boners everywhere?
We were good for an hour. Really poor for the next 35 minutes
Brentford were 1-0 up v City and lost 2-1, similar a few weeks later vs Man U
Bournemouth were 2-0 up against us last season and we drew 2-2
Brentford were 1-0 up at home to Woolwich and lost 3-1
NO THEY DIDN'T - UTTER BS - if you are talking about the game towards the end of the season, they trailed twice and pulled it back both times.
No hard on whatsoever... there are several managers I would have picked before Frank who would have lifted that trophy from 2-0 up with 10 to go... what is alarming is you constantly sucking him off as some sort of Prime Jose/SAF combination. It's absurd - see, I can be a cretinous cunt too!!!
You’ve had some wild takes over the past year. It’s been tough for all of us, I guess.
But you’re right on this. Frank had an excellent game plan. It should have worked.Even Luis Enrique said they didn’t deserve to win.
But you cannot sit back for the last 30 minutes and expect to hold on against top sides. You have to have a plan for when you win the ball and we didn’t have one. It was just attack against defence.
The difference between Frank and Ange though, is that I feel confident that Frank is the sort of coach who learns from experiences like this
Completely agree.
calm down dear.
LC 1/4 finals
one nil up and went 3 down before a late Nketiah goal brought it back to 3-2
So you can take your shouty caps lock off.
As for mentioning possible managers, if you bothered to check my posts, youd have seen I mentioned several that I rated, and crucially all with PL experience.
Potter (not realistically available)
Rodgers (great coach, winner FA cup, but needs a proper DoF, don't let him near the chequebook)
Glasner (cup winner, prob too early in Palace project to jump ship)
Frank
Iraola (great record with AFCB but loads of injuries with fewer games)
Hurzeler (again prob too soon to jump ship)
de Zerbi (headcase who'd use us as a stepping stone to Barca Real someone big)
I'd have been happy with all (apart from de Zerbi who would have fought non stop with Levy). I veered towards Frank as I thought he looked achievable, he'd been at BFC long enough to say I want a new challenge. I also liked the fact that he was the only one who'd got a promotion and stayed 4 seasons to really establish. Rodgers stayed one with Swans I think.
So again, s*cking him off is just bulshit.
And that hour did also coincide with PSG playing like their first game back…
That’s just reality.
It’s also realistic that the pressing caused them big problems until we stopped. Sarr, Kudus, Spence and Danso also showed us they are 100% CL level players which we didn’t know as well.
I would have thought Ange had better things to do than phone into radio stations in his time off
That small minority who got personal with their insults of the previous manager aside...
There was no Ange Out cult. Just a selection who thought. "17th? Not for me thank you". They're not a band of unreasonable, illogical mouth frothers like there's an insistence on characterising them as.
The type of person more likely to turn, is that small group still openly grieving for the previous manager... You know the ones who gave him license to lose every week, but wrote this new manager off as a bum before he managed a game for us.
That's not bad against a team like PSG and the fact we literally have no attack
Going a bit over the top, but I agree with the sentiment that he got the subs totally wrong. Obviously not helped by the fact that we had injuries and have had an underwhelming window so far, but still should've done better with his in-game management.

Gooner pretending to be Spurs fan my first thought
Good managers might need quality players... very good managers don't... they need some but they will create a structure to play within that puts the players they do have in the best position to succeed. They will promote discipline, confidence and everyone doing their job. That's what very good managers do.
Everyone else needs quality players, kind fixtures, luck with injuries, opponents underperforming etc.
