    The entire premise of your post is the idea that Ange let him get away with poor performance, as if the actual European trophy that Romero was critical to us winning is just meaningless. Romero didn’t play in many of those 22 losses. But he’s a World Cup winner with high standards who knows...

    Cristian Romero

    I feel like I get to a place where I’m like ‘we’re all pretty fair minded people here’ and then I read something like ‘he gave them a free pass to lose 22 games’ as if that’s why a World Cup winner with a clear winning mentality likes a particular manager. And it makes me want to pull my hair...

    So was part of Biss’s agencies’ PR strategy to go on to his phone, screenshot the conversation with Ange, and then post it? Maybe it wasn’t actually Ange on the other end of that conversation?

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Whether it has come up in debate before or not (and it definitely HAS) I think there are two things: Just like the wage budget can be lower because we’re in a cycle of younger players starting their careers with us, transfer net spend can be higher because we’re in a cycle of refreshing the...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Top 10 is way too easy. We would have been there under any manager next season. Top 6 likely too. I expect top 6 at a minimum, a credible challenge for the top 4 (or does 4th even matter anymore? 5th probably fine?) and ideally a great cup run. Will be delighted and eat some humble pie if...

    Absolutely love the timing of his post 😂😂

    I don’t really disagree with what you’re saying here. Indeed I’ve said similar, I would have rather we pushed on under Poch, or Conte (even if that would have only been for another year or two of striving for a title under him). I just don’t think we were that far off it either after Ange’s...

    I feel like we’ve done the hard yards. Stadium, training ground, CL and at least some form of European football more often than not. A squad with some top players. An actual trophy! Now I want to win the league. I think my mistake was assuming that when the stadium was built we’d start acting...

    I'm just very fine advocating for new owners who will be willing to invest to a level that will make us title challengers. I am fine taking the risk that we might attract a Casemiro, if there is the potential for us to attract a De Bruyne. Honestly I find this idea mad, we can’t attract the top...

    I mean...we could turn out to be United post Fergie. We could turn out to be Liverpool under FSG. Or Emirates Marketing Project. Or Chelsea under Roman. I'm fine taking that punt.

    I just think simply put, the moment we change our wage structure is the moment those elite players choose us. Again, it's not that I don't understand all of the rationale from the perspective's of ENIC's strategy. I totally get it. I'm just arguing that I think it's reached the point where...

    I completely agree with all of this. I don't think ENIC are terrible owners or villains, I just think their time is up. In the same way that managers are right for a moment in time, or executives in business are, I think they were too. Built the infrastructure, did a phenomenal job with it. Made...

    it's all relative though. What did other teams do? What kind of wages are they paying? As far as I can make out we're still a distant 6th on wage expenditure, and that's the biggest thing to dictate the quality of player we can attract. It's easy to have a higher net spend figure when we went 18...

    Ange departs

    Ok, that wasn’t really the point I was trying to make... Let’s take any other time - when we got 4th under Conte. Let’s say Klopp did that. Would ENIC have decided they had their man and pushed on? How about after the CL final? The money isn’t there because as owners they won’t invest it...

    Ange departs

    I don’t agree, but even accepting the premise here, the original point was around the idea that ENIC haven’t had the right manager to back. Are you contending that if Klopp got 86 points ENIC would have said ‘we have our guy, let’s invest, push on and build a title challenging team for him’ or...
