Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

I think we both know that even patsys can stink a place out...

Great article on the Beeb today about how Giardiola has altered his tactics to suit the players he currently has available, rather than trying to squeeze round blocks into square holes.


Our players under TF were so rigid the opposition knew what we were going to do before we did. But in Xavi, Solanke, Richie, RKM, Kudus, Odobert, Johnson and Tel, with the likes of Bergvall and Sarr behind them, we could easily have done something similar. Not saying they are as good as City’s players but stylistically they can play similar roles.

I just don’t understand these coaches who are so adamantly stuck on one system (Amorim etc.). Any competent manager, in any industry, knows to put people in the position where they have the best chance of success, and then mold the collective around that.

Play your best XI players in a style suited to their talents, not just the way YOU want it done. Take YOUR ego out of it and the optimal solution is usually blindingly obvious.

Rant over. And thank f*** that idiot is out of our club.
