but even how you make small moves for depth reveals something meaningful about the decision makers, no? And passing ability or not, we’re signing a 31 year old with 0 chance of being an important part of the theoretical next great team.

The complaints about him are the same as the ones about Romero. Does he make mistakes and take risks that don’t work? Sure. But that’s the cost of someone who believes in himself and wants to push the team forward.

Like: we hired vinai to partner with levy who was fired a few months later and then we hired paratici who is now leaving - it’s clearly a shitshow up top and that’s gonna trickle down

eh I think it’s multi factored how we ended up in a situation where Tel is being left out of stuff - and I was Frank out back when he was at Frederiksværk in 1995 coaching 7 year olds. But happy to blame him for everything to keep the players happy.

Meaning that the club could blame Frank for the things that the players are unhappy about and he’ll be gone so problem solved. “Mathys pls be happy now, we got rid of the bad man and the new man lets you play matches“

I think this is fine. Like it’s bad but when Frank goes, Tel will be under contract still. Frank will make a good scapegoat for many problems.

We may need him to prevent relegation

I don’t think they have any leverage. This isn’t Mbappe. But we’ll see.

This is my least concern (I agree with you on most things). Biggest concern is overall organizational weakness that leads to a thin young squad last year, then firing Ange and then hiring Frank. Not to mention all the bad optics of the paratici thing.

Van de Ven has a long contract and so does Romero. Not sure who is at risk of running it down.

Under Ange he added a whole new element to his game. Under Frank he has been burned out. Part of this is downstream of bad squad planning.

i find these pressers even more disheartening than the football. they’re centered around delusion to the point he’s asking us to ignore what we see. which entirely reinforces our belief that he has no idea what he’s doing.

It wasn’t the wrongness it was the vitriol for Ange and the wish for someone like Frank

This needs to be read back to him on the podcast. It made me sick at the time. Now it’s laughable.
