From what we've seen, especially in CM, we've replaced Rolls Royce's with ford Anglia's


Depends.
If you (anyone, not you specifically) wanted to keep Ange on for this season then you all do deserve this shit. As it's no worse. In fact, I suspect had Ange stayed on, it would have been considerably worse still.

Both managers have been a total failure in the league. As soon as Ange was figured out, it was a relentless slide down the table that was gathering pace every week.

Disappointingly, Frank has merely slow the slide a tad, but we're still on the slide.

I'm on record at the time, in the summer I was Ange in over bringing in Frank.

He underwhelmed me.

To sack our first trophy-winning manager in 17 years needed a big replacement. To me, that wasn't Frank.

I was willing to get on board with him. Up until the last few weeks I was hoping he'd turn it around.

However, I've never been so insulted by a manager. He serves up terrible football and tells me it's good.

I know it's not all his fault. I get that. But our manager should be calling out the club for not doing their part. He's a yes man.

He's just making it all worse by telling us everything is fine and improving.

Yeah he is small time as are a lot of our players. Very telling to me that they can’t handle booing when we’re losing at home to Fulham - an isolated result, sure that would be unfair, but not in the context of continuous shiete performances.

Said it a couple of months ago, the club is too big for both the manager and a lot of this squad

Our players repeatedly throw managers and fans under the bus. it's the recent culture of the club, because they're harder to move on than managers.

I don’t really agree, but even so blaming the players attitude wont get us far.They’re just like players anywhere else. There’s been a big turnover the last five years yet we’re still saying it’s the attitude of these players.

It’s maybe the culture of the club and the recruitment side not buying players of the standard most fans expect. whether we like to accept it the fans at home can be hard to play in front of. We can all disagree with that and bury our head in the sand but if these players think that then all other players would. Ours are no different
 
I do wonder if the january window being open is what is saving Frank.

I have no idea what the club are thinking, but maybe if we are in active discussions for some targets, sacking Frank now isn't going to do us any favours.

When City batter us next Sunday, the window is shut, maybe that's when they pull the trigger.

The board are behaving negligently now.

So stubborn and won't accept they've made the wrong decision over Frank.

The active decision to keep him on is to the detriment of the Club.

You have to ask are they fit and proper to be making these decisions now?

The fans are the Club, and every single one of us wants him gone

I think they know that without real investment we’ll be here again with the next scapegoat , highlighting the real problem at the club.

What is it ? A week to go in the window shuts , nothing concrete bar another LB on the horizon, our front line is embarrassing ahhh but we’ve got £150m to spend , don’t we ?

Scammers

Spurs did this to themselves you can't go down the ladder to Frank and Postecoglou from Antonio Conte and try to convince people you are ambitious. Its going from shopping at Fortnum and Masons to shopping at Aldi. We have to think about a interim coach to get us to the summer, then we have get the best manager available absolutely top level. Then look to an experience D.O.F.

If Pep leaves City to go back to Barca, take over a NT or retire from football management...go all out for Txiki Begiristain at DoF and give his fellow Basque Xabi Alonso whatever he wants.

Ah sorry, I thought I was a Liverpool fan for a moment.

Well a while ago I searched for evidence of that in the media and the whole £150m thing stems from an article in The Sun with no quotes from the club.

There was however an article on the club's official website back in October last year stating that £100m was being injected into the club.

I know football is a funny old game and all that but we're in for a lot of pain over the next few weeks if Frank is still in charge.

See us losing all four.

TBH I think we have nothing to lose by making the change now and we might actually get something out of those games with a new manager bounce.

We just seem to be limping on rudderless at the moment born out of the indecision from the clueless board.

Completely different situations.

At least with Ange we attacked. We had a go. There wasn't half as much vitriol towards him. He had his issues but he stuck up for the club. He needed to go but for someone better.

Frank isn't that.

Frank was brought in to make us harder to beat at the very least yet he's not even doing that right. His first press conference he told us we'd lose games. He praised Woolwich. We watch awful football and he tells us we played well. We lose and he tells us we're going in the right direction.

Ange v Frank? 100% Ange.

But we deserve so much better than both of them.

The whole Ange entertaining attacking football thing is a bit of a myth

We were awful to watch for many of our games under him

Sure , we'd have players high up the pitch , but it was rarely entertaining football
