    Interim Manager Discussion - Igor Tudor joined until end of season

    Hahahaha .. no, even with my limited view of Tudor I'll state I think he'll do better

    Interim Manager Discussion - Igor Tudor joined until end of season

    If we can get Tudor 14 or so fit players (Frank was crap even when we had 18 fit players) but even so yes I expect to see a difference

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Don't see it at all - Clearly he never fully got the respect of the players, coming in after a manager with the reputation of Conte would hardly have helped, had he come in after Nuno he would have got even less time from fans (he would have been seen as Nuno Mk2) - The circumstances aren't the...

    Interim Manager Discussion - Igor Tudor joined until end of season

    If you got 3 years salary for 3 months work? If you are being honest, you would take it. Any manager with a good rep would back themselves to get 4 wins out of this squad with our run in. Dyche would be terrible PR for us, that's why he would never have even been considered. Spurs has to...

    Dejan Kulusevski

    I think Maddison is close, probably post March international break. Still think Kulu is further as he's seen no grass yet (part of strength yes, but also part of the fitness recovery). Would be huge boost if even one of them and Kudus was back after March break.

    Randal Kolo Muani

    Every player more like it .. Re RKM, some promise as he did well previously under Tudor, and what we know of Tudor (fast transitions, two attackers) would seem to suit RKM. Hopefully we get a good 3 months out of him before he goes back.

    I 100% believe it was the plan if/when Frank didn't work out (I don't think anyone anticipated Frank would be so bad here) The question is will we be able to announce anything pre end of season? My feeling is (provided we survive), it will be Poch, and the owners will make a splash signing, be...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I thought he did that with player rotation early, thought he was making a concerted effort to manage the injuries, which lead to a feeling he didn't know his best first 11, however once the pressure was on, he did run Porro, Richi, Kudus, Bentancur into the ground. I never got his defensive...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    In a corporate world, Lange wouldn't survive. Reality is Frank's performance would have come under question in November/December, probably 2 more times before final decision. If Lange (and Vinai) had said in November, "hey, this guy isn't what we expected/hoped, we made a mistake, lets punt...

    Dejan Kulusevski

    Good to see, gym work is still a long way from grass. Maddison has been on the grass for almost a month now IIRC, but still outside chance of seeing them this season Would be a bonus to have them for last 5 games, hopefully we don't really need them for it.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Frank is like Potter, Iraola, Silva, Glasner, etc. Managers who's achievements at lesser clubs have given them the right/shot at being considered for bigger roles. But like when you interview people, the CV gets you the interview, the interviewers need to pick up the things that cannot be...

    Igor the Departed

    The talk is he was on Paratici's list and when Vinai/Lange were instructed to fire Frank (they were going to keep him), they fell back to Paratici's last list .. if true, tells the mess we are in

    Interim Manager Discussion - Igor Tudor joined until end of season

    So many people online have the weirdest sense of "people won't take this/that gig". As you rightly said, it would be biggest job of his career, probably a couple of million with some bonus if we stay up (so maybe 3 years salary). Any mid-higher tier manager would bet on getting 4 wins out of...

    There is audio of Greenwood and Party just has had other charges added. You draw the line when any such interaction with players brings the club into disrepute, there is no requirement of a legal conviction to have a moral/ethical standpoint.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    At Napoli and still burning out in first rounds in European competitions, still talking brick about his employers. His ego thinks he should be managing Real/Barca/City/Bayern, jobs he won't get. Edit: To be clear, I still think he's a good football manager, but Spurs was a reality check for...

    Interim Manager Discussion - Igor Tudor joined until end of season

    I think our squad needs a combination of a bit of a hardass, but also someone to respect, Tudor has been a top level player and managed big clubs (bigger clubs than Dyche) I think he's very interesting and his career is very consistent, he comes in, makes an impact (don't know enough to say if...

    Tudor is supposedly a Paratici call (talk is Vinai/Lange went to Paratici's old short list) Positives -> His speciality seems to be short term impact, he does well early in appointments, it seems to fade in long run. He also got RKM to work well for him. He plays a tempo game, and he's managed...

    Our signings since the Champions League final

    Utterly fair re availability, but the thread was about our signings post 2019, not specific to who is available now.
