    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    It's a poor example of an otherwise very decent point. What happened with Dele had absolutely nothing to do with football. His career demise has been tragic. As for Conte? He'd have blown up no more than a year later (and that's stretching it).

    Superb! What a diamond daschundian geezer! Pedigree too, right? He has 'the bump' on his schnooter! Awesome!

    Folks, Let's try and redirect any frustrations we might have with 2026 back at 2026 and not each other, yeah?

    Again, not sure where the implication was that people were 'tricked' necessarily. What I absolutely will say -and stand by- is that with social media becoming such an important tool of communication, it is easier than ever to mass market specific messages and ideas to large groups of people. It...

    For the current ownership it is a fast route to a free hit in the instant 'feel good' stakes.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I think the single biggest issue there is Levy always wanted a DoF he could trust, and once Arnesen fudged off to Chelsea, despite his best efforts in himself, he could never trust any of the ones he subsequently hired enough to let them do their jobs without sticking his nose in. Which was...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I agree. I think our flip-flopping between styles and approaches has been somewhat ridiculous, as it not only puts a huge burden on whoever is in the squad to recalibrate and fast, it shows no cohesion of idea. RE: BMJ, I'd say that Arnesen had Levy won over, thus he kept Jol close knowing...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I think that's a very fair point to explore. He came in following a guy who'd won a trophy playing a style totally different to his. I agree has he followed someone whose style he aligned with, it could well have been different.

    Where did I joke about Rogan? I was stating a fact, the same fact that started to ring very, very true once Farage got Cameron to buy the Brexit referendum and showed Bannon that this sort of thing could actually be pulled off! I have to also say, I think your read of the Epstein situation is...

    In what sense? What makes you say that? I want to understand your perspective before entering a discussion.

    25/26 Injury and illness thread

    I will be interested to see how many of the injured come back 'ahead of schedule having worked incredibly hard'...if I was a betting man, I'd say Porro and Richy will for sure be back faster. Outlier punt? Kudus!!!

    Igor the Interim

    if we can field the horse, teach Muani to dismount quickly and Vicario to punt it fast enough, it could be the most 'route 1 creative process' ever in football!

    Oh absolutely! Sadly, I am at a point where I'm up for trying a bit of nostalgic dopamine in the hope it actually defies logic and works even better second-time around. My 'wise mind' says it is not the right move for us long-term, but back in earlier years I'd polish a bottle of Jaegermeister...

    Again, I think your assumption is too great. The US has vast, vast areas where attention is not paid or (worse still) it is easily manipulated. Joe Rogan became a truthsayer for many (he was not alone).

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I looked back at what I wrote. I stand by it. For the way the club was run he was the best appt from all the suggestions precisely because he is such a nice and publicly 'safe' guy. My biggest doubts were whether he could scale up and whether he could implement a style of football I wanted to...

    I think the owners feel it's the play they had to make from the moment they came in. In fact, I wonder if they were happy to putter along with Frank knowing Poch would come in the summer until the situation got as bad as it did? That's something I don't know. One thing...with the ST prices being...

    Who is the 'we'? Us? There's millions of 'we's out there who have no clue whatsoever about a large percentage of things which seem definitive to us. That is why we're here.
