I didn't say I agreed with the viewpoint.How are they unrelated? Ange was consistently mocked because he hadn’t managed in the Premier League. Is that the only thing that matters? Feels like there might be more to it than you’re letting on.
Anyway. If you didn’t like the manager who won us a European trophy, I look forward to seeing how you measure this one.
It's unrelated because what Frank has or has not done in Europe bears no relation to what he has done in the league or is capable of doing in Europe.
Ange had done nothing in Europe before this season either.
You asked for an explanation of the 'logic of Ange not being good enough on account of his achievements coming in lesser leagues, but Thomas Frank who has literally not even managed a match Europe is the right man?'
The logic is that Ange had never managed in the league so that his prior experience might not be relevant to this league.
Then you put in about Frank managing in Europe, that's got nothing to do with his suitablilty to manage in the league, and as I've said, if that should be a consideration then it would have applied to Ange as well as his record in Europe was brick.
I, like Ange measure my managers on how they do in their day to day job of managing in the league. As he said himself, it's a better barometer of the long term process and chances of winning consistently.
