    I wish that I had that mindset. That was how I felt when Jol got the job.

    What I am saying is that we might have had better league results for some time before the frankfurt game but due to the load on the players we didn't get past them in the EL.

    Why was it all about money? Because we have signaled by sacking a trophy winning manager that the board favours cash over trophies. Why are we a laughing stock? Because the last time a manager won a trophy and was sacked straight after was....so long ago nobody can remember because it's not...

    But the moves off the pitch ARE unstable. Arnesen, Comolli, Pleat, Planes, Baldini, Paratici, Munn, Lange, Kemsley, that's nine people in 21 years, 10th to come albeit Fabio is coming back it appears. So guess what....the every two year thing is exactly the same on the DoF or Sporting Director...

    Because that means wholesale change every 24 months if you are Spurs. What if Frank doesn't fancy Solanke? What if Udogie decides City are a good option? The list will go on and on. Every two years. Stability is what is needed. Ange said this a lot and he was right. Changing all the time is...

    Inguess we will see. I suspect Ange going might actually have the opposite effect but who knows.

    It wasn't the only thing he could accomplish, it was his having the approach to make the best of the bad season we'd had due to injuries. There's only so many ways that can be said before it becomes repetitive. Would you have preferred to finish 10th and go out to Frankfurt?

    That's a great read and some valid reasons for the opposite view. I respect what you think and I agree that the league was abhorrent. But how many of those defeats were linked to us being missing our entire back five? And how many were forgone to further our European games?

    Yeah but do you rate them? Dragusin has not looked mobile enough (Ange ball or not) and Davies for all the fan attachment is looking like he's past it. Danso I need to see more of, so the only ones I'm sure about are VDV and Romero and I'm pretty sure Cuti will look to leave this summer now Ange...

    Do you think there will be enough cover given the mistakes we made last two years on centre backs and also given the pressure the manager is going to be under?

    Youre probably not privy to my perspective, but I've got a 20 plus year association with this site, and have acted on a number of occasions as a link between the club and GG - less so these days since Paul (Scaramanga) took the site on, but still I've spoken to the club, mainly Donna Cullen for...

    Frank's approach is dynamic, and in game he responds to the direction of travel, based on the score and the opposition tactics. Compared to the pretty intransient "it's who we are" football of season 1, it should be an improvement and we should in theory win more games from winning positions...

    Yes but we have previously established you hate Ange with a passion, which is hardly a ringing endorsement for pragmatism is it. Top 4 while trying to compete in the champions league is hard and, most worrying, with the managers we are being linked to, not something any of them have had to...

    If the objective is to be in the top 4-6 places maybe. But have we not just removed a guy who has instilled a true will to win a group of players ? I don't want fourth to sixth, I want trophies and Ange showed us how to do that.

    It was said to death though after the EL win that Levy was now in an impossible situation. I'm not supportive of this decision and I will now be firmly in the Levy out camp going forwards, but the season was full of such massive contradictions that judging it was hard. What should have...

    Small detail missing. The other guy didn't win a major European trophy in the same time too. Frank isn't progress however you dress it up.

    If you look at it like that we would never have got Poch. I'm pro Ange but Thomas Frank if he indeed is to be the next coach should not be judged on how well he's done at Brentford with adding the context that he's raised Brentford's ceiling way, way above where they should be, and likely will...

    Its going to take a day or two to sink in that we have just dismissed the first manager to win a European trophy for us in 41 years. I've been staunchly pro Ange throughout this period and while I appreciate there's two ways of viewing his tenure, I can't help thinking he had earned the right...

    So that's Thomas Frank tomorrow then. A lot was made yesterday of his not commenting on the signing of kelleher from Liverpool.
