    Transfer thread

    I think there's something disingenuous in claiming some clubs bought their way to success while belittling others for the lack of financial clout. For reasons that have little to do with football, some of these teams are no longer what they once were, but that kind of superiority complex is part...

    Red Star won more Champions Cups than us.

    Transfer thread

    That's why most coaches don't really care about formations these days: there's little difference between a 4-4-2 with two attacking players on the flanks and one of the forwards coming in deeper and a 4-2-3-1, for instance. It's all about instructions and patterns of play these days. Even a...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I'd say the biggest problem with our midfield is the lack of passing ability. Then again, it may be harsh to judge them on last season, since our game completely disintegrated in 2025. Everybody looked poor but the passes in particular looked extra poor to me.

    It's not always clear when you write in a language that isn't your own, but there's no right or wrong answer here: I don't have anything against people who enjoyed Postecoglou's style and there was definitely a case to argue he deserved another season - just like there was one to argue he should...

    It all sounds very nice when you read it that way but, unfortunately, that's not exactly what happened. He did compromise to see us through in Europe. You can't argue with the result and I don't believe anyone associated with the club wasn't over the moon when the players lifted that trophy, but...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    One thing that should be interesting is that we'll see how much Frank benefitted from Brentford's approach to transfer dealings. IIRC, Brentford have the same owner as Midtjylland in Denmark - a club that, a decade or so ago, was considered as the forefront of player recruitment because they...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I don't know but he did much better than I thought he would at Everton. I'm not a huge fan but you often hear that successful managers wouldn't be able to get much success with limited ressources and he proved he could get reasonable results pretty much anywhere.

    He could, but when that player became unavailable, he had no plan B. He just kept doing the same thing over and over again, until the Everton game where - in my opinion - he delivered one of the most unprofessional performances I've ever seen from a football manager. I don't think I'm going too...

    Unfortunately, we'll never get the answer to that question. For all we know, the medical team could be trying to cover their asses or selling their ability to the next man in charge, who must be wary of our record in that particular area. Everyone has an agenda and that's why we'll never know...

    You have to tip your hat to the guy: he made a bold statement saying he usually wins things in his second season and he did. No matter what you think of the competition, being the last team standing in a cup competition is never easy. Like many people on here, I'm grateful for the pure...

    Who knows with these Internet usernames... he could be anyone (except for me, of course, since I've never changed mine)!

    At the moment, it would take a very smart man to know for sure what's going to happen. If they want to replace him, the best thing to do is to let the euphoria from the EL win die down, find a replacement and pull the trigger. The board-level changes would also help with that, the narrative...

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    Totally agree with you on the buy-in aspect and I also agree that many of our players have expressed their respect for Postecoglou - no question there. However, I believe - and it's just my opinion - there's a massive difference between taking note of their attitude and reading the room and...
