Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

TBF, the blokes gone, its done, you seem intent on him having to be hated. He was just the wrong bloke at the wrong club, but he wasnt a bad bloke. We move to forward

Honestly I don’t want him to be hated, but I do just find it odd how, compared to a heck of a lot of other managers who have not performed anywhere near as badly, he gets off EXTREMELY lightly. And again, I don’t need fans to hate the guy personally, but I would like to see a more honest accounting of his time with us in the media. We nearly got relegated and he played a huge part in that, and frankly De Zerbi embarrassed him with what he was able to achieve in terms of style of play in pretty much two games.

I just find the collective glossing over, while many other figures are laughing stocks, to be very odd.
 
This - and there's no one interested in defending him or taking exception to the criticism so the topic has no legs for discussion. What else is going to happen other than it being consigned to history? 😂

I personally just find the lack of emotion he stirs in people when he is one of the biggest reasons we almost got relegated to be a little odd, that’s all. ‘He very nearly caused the biggest sporting embarrassment in history. It didn’t work. We move on’. Just doesn’t feel like the right sentiment to me. Way more successful managers have inspired way more hate.

If Frank finished 12th, I’d understand ‘it just didn’t work, move on.’ To very nearly relegate us?? I almost don’t think it’s understood just how incredibly awful that is.
