Thomas Frank - Head Coach

So if TF goes and he was Lange's choice, what happens to Lange?

Usually a sporting director is there for coaching continuity, but he's been quoted as saying he adapts to the manager, not the other way around. So we could have anyone with any style next!?

Out with the Danes.

Out with the sporting director

No steps forward...3 steps back
 
Feel sorry for Frank regardless of his suitability for this club - he's a good guy who carries himself well and apparently he will be in charge for the Dortmund game. Feels like this is another of those dead man walking scenarios where everyone knows he's gone yet no one has told the manager yet....
The whole thing is so sad, and yet another indicator of what a mess we are as a club. Vinai has a huge job on his hands to sort it all out, although there are some positive signs that he might eventually do that. I don't think Frank was ever given a proper chance - many fans had made up their minds about him before he walked in the door.

Really bad decision if true. The stadium is going to be horrendous and that will infect the pitch.

It is sad, I wanted him to be given a season and more to provide one of those turn around stories but it seems its gone too far in the wrong direction and best for all concerned if he does go. I don't doubt he is a good coach and I'm sure he will go onto prove that again in the future but I think half the conundrum in appointing a head coach/manager is getting in someone who is the right fit for the club rather than just acquiring someone who is deemed to be a good manager.

We have said more than once the next appointment needs to be the right one, but it feels like it is paramount now more than ever. We have been on the decline for a while and there are no star players to bail us out, which means the onus is on the manager more than ever to get these players playing to their potential and more....
 
I think he will be given more time, Arteta was getting pelters left right and centre at Arsenal and fans wanted him out, now look at him.
 
Looks like not going anywhere for the moment , solve the Vicario corner problem by doing what Emery did leave three up front so the box is not so crowded.

I think people gave him a chance, even though most had reservations about the appointment. All people wanted was green shoots of improvement and direction of travel. But there have been none and we are getting worse and worse.
