    I haven’t seen it but I definitely wouldn’t be surprised if some of the critics had an agenda. Look at the discrepancy between the critics score and the audience score on rotten tomatoes, 11% for the critics compared to 99% for the audience. Yes the vast majority would be republican voters but...

    So, what happened today?

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Yes they do. Maybe not in every single game but by and large they look to take the game to the opposition, they’re just not very good at creating chances in open play. He’s not a carbon copy of Wenger but there’s more of a similarity than Ange to flippin Frank.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Good analysis, although I’d say Poch was a halfway house and AVB was a pragmatist. We had the best defensive record in the league with Poch in at least one of his seasons. Arry paid more attention to the defensive side than Ange. The first thing Arry identified was that we were soft so he went...

    Don’t disagree. ENIC are full of false promises.

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    Completely different situation now. Mason took over previously when we were around 6th-10th, not when we were hovering above the relegation zone. And he’s been given a chance at a championship club but utterly flopped. WBA are a team that expect to be challenging for promotion every season, not...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I did say Wenger and Emery weren’t like for like but they’re nowhere near as different as our appointments tend to be. Emery and to an extent Arteta are pragmatic but are also attack minded once they have established defensive stability. If their next manager was Simeone then that would be a...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    Why are you so insistent that Mason comes back? Are you not in the slightest bit alarmed by the job he did at West Brom? This isn’t an appointment we can take lightly or afford to get wrong. Simply appointing someone for sentimental reasons rather than merit could cost the club hundreds of...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Emery’s Villa team play out from the back to the point where their fans say they have their hearts in their mouths from what I’ve seen. Certainly nowhere near the contrasting styles of Poch to Jose or Conte to Ange or Ange to Frank.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Emery and Wenger both play a possession-based style, I’d say there’s more similarities than with the coaches we have appointed. I don’t know enough about early Arteta tbh but they’re certainly a front foot team now, even if they rely more on set pieces than Wenger’s or Emery’s teams do. Our...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Spot on. Clubs that know what they’re doing have continuity in style of play when they change managers: Arsenal - Wenger > Emery > Arteta Liverpool - Rodgers > Klopp > Slot Ok so not like for like but they’re not radically different from the previous guy and they all play on the front foot.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    He seems like a decent guy but I’m very glad he’s gone. I have no idea what the plan is in an attacking sense when I watch us play. Rightly or wrongly, our club and its fans expect and demand a certain style of play which the manager has to convey that they understand. The fans will only except...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Fair argument regarding the timing. I just think it was a long time coming and we needed some sort of change. He had been in charge far too long. Even uber successful clubs/businesses make changes periodically to freshen things up. Re waiting until we had got back on secure footing in the...

    He would have taken WBA down if they had allowed him to stay. No thanks.

    Is there anyone left who still think they should be in charge of our club? They are happy with finishing in the top 4, didn’t understand that to bridge the gap between 4th and being perennial title contenders you need to bring in quality players and not backups and didn’t feel we needed to spend...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    He’s partly responsible for hiring the people at the club now or sanctioning the hiring of them and setting this in motion. He’s also partly responsible for our method of lurching from managers with completely different styles to the previous guy.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Only because we were fortunate that there were 3 teams who were worse than us by a distance. The points total now is almost identical to this stage last season. That’s not a fluke. Go for it, kind of feels like I’m being vetted at this point. Again not sure the relevance.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I’m no fan of the current regime either. Levy most likely would have sacked Frank but he also gave Ange a lot of latitude before eventually pulling the plug. How long before it’s no longer his fault? Well his methodology of changing from one managerial style to the next has ultimately left us...
