Definitely - they should try the manager's tactics rather than saying they are no fun. So you either get players that play or a manager that can get them playing.

Exactly - he would improve results over time, but not play good football and it would not be good enough. I think if they kept Ange, they would be doing better right now...

But the players were good enough to get a good result, so something is stopping them from performing. It could just be lack of faith in the manger and therefore less effort.

I expect it falls between the two. Also seems obvious as players were bought for the previous managers and they may not fit the new manager. You either give them a lot of time or you change again. Being a defensive manager, but conceding lots of goals, is a problem though...

I am normally patient, but the squad is quite strong and to not be getting results, it must be Frank. They don't buy into his methods.

It seems like since the new year, Monday meetings expired and nobody noticed. Other days are busy, but looking at my next few Mondays - completely empty. I am not in a rush to say anything though.

I vortex seems to have sucked all my meetings up tomorrow. That one thing is just a reminder to do something and not work-related.

I've been on there since I joined here too. It's quieter, but also no drama.

I would have to thank my Italian colleagues for getting me fluent in 9 months. At 6 months, I was not confident, then my boss said "Every lunch time, we will only speak Italian" - lunch was 2.5 hours. We did this for a few months and bingo. They said my vocab was ready for proper convos.

The irony was, I was at a pizza resaurant and the girl I was talking to was actually Italian, but had French as a second language and fully understood me!

I think immersion is key. My Italian is more natural because I lived there. French is something I studied and I have been to French speaking countries on a regular basis. When I was in Belgium last year, I was trying to speak French on day one, but spoke Fritalian. When blanking I went Italian!
