If I had just faked my way to £8M and been a complete disaster, then yes I think I would have the decency to forgo any additional payments out of outright embarrassment. £8M will do
Easy to say when you’re not the one potentially turning away the millions.
Most managers never resign, they wait for the sack. Or at least until their position is untenable and a settlement negotiated.

Our mistake is not sorting that out, now this guy could easily get us relegated.
 
Genuine question: is there any manager we could appoint who wouldn’t have sack calls within a season? The only name that even comes close for me is Poch.
Just goes to show how toxic and completely devoid of reality, far to much of our fan base is.

No matter how much people deny it, laugh at people's posts, to many expect instant success... That is never going to happen

And that causes so many problems.
 

Amazing really as Frank has only been without kudus, bent, Porro in recent weeks. We have been shite all season only really missing kulu and MADDs which we knew before season started. How Frank gets away with is beyond me. These journos are pathetic. Are they saying Frank can’t do better than teams like Sunderland and Brentford who have far less resources and quality than we do. Oh I missed Solanke.

He’s hardly Conte or Jose. Just some imposter from a footballing backwater….. shameless fraud. I hate him
 
We aren’t a hive mind. We all have different breaking points.

Mine was when he was announced as manager. Took others longer. Same as with the last guy. I broke after 99% of the forum had. Each to their own.

That's my point, basically

I didn't want him, wanted to give him a go, found myself looking for scraps to try and believe in

Probably fair to say I turned quite early on him

Don't hold it against anyone for taking longer
 
Mixed up the giants, so what? The point stands that Thomas has us in the Last 16 while the "big" clubs are watching from home.
Winning away at Frankfurt and schooling Dortmund 2-0 is world-class coaching, end of story. You can cry about the PSG score all you want, but Thomas is building a tactical monster that’s going to lift the Champions League trophy in May.
We’re still grabbing that top four spot too. Keep your screenshots, I’ll see you after the Newcastle masterclass on Tuesday.

Agree - think Ange only had VDV flag art about 12 league games and Romero 18 last season. That was arguably far more impactful
 
I think they're playing the waiting game that Leicester played with Rodgers in 22/23, the most recent case of a team that was "too good to go down".

They sacked him as soon as they found themselves inside the bottom three for the first time (?) in the season, hoping for a new manager bounce to save them ; but it was too little too late.

Even then, you could still see the reasoning behind it: Rodgers had some serious credit in the bank based on what he had previously achieved there, and they kept hoping in vain that he would turn it around somewhat to steer them to safety at least, before leaving in the summer through mutual consent or whatever.

If my premise is correct, I can see him finishing the season or conversely getting the sack in a week or two depending entirely on how West Ham do during that stretch.

They do the unlikely [not necessarily the unthinkable] to beat United and Bournemouth at home for their next two to get neck and neck with us---> He's gone immediately.

They lose both while we fluke a win against a Newcastle team in serious disarray to once again build a rather significant lead ---> He's safe.
We need to and should beat tune at home. They are not in good form either and have a few players out. Their away record is not good. Frank should just call Andrews to find out what to do to beat toon. Lol
 
The reason we aren’t hearing anything from the hire ups on Frank is what can they actually say? It appears there is an internal belief that we need to change the narrative of how we treat managers. That is literally manifesting itself in one of the worst managers in our history is being allowed to skirt relegation like the idiot we left in charge the year before.

Frank is doing nothing to earn the role so roll the bloody dice and give us a chance at an up turn. I’ve said this before but there is a free fall moment that we can’t be far away from where we ship a heavy defeat or two and then can’t arrest the fall. It happens to teams and the atmosphere due to the home form is tilting ever closer to that point.
