Maybe, but dont forget, he knows more than us.

I know we are getting peed with what we see as inaction, but I have no doubt that huge work is getting done behind the scenes.

We’ll see. I’m not overly optimistic we actually will be making any moves of significance aside from maybe another outgoing and maybe a couple late loans/frees.

I never said I was optimistic!!!

We are certainly trying tho.

…funny, I as only thinking that when I grew up the great managers had rarely been great players. I think we assume judgement and tactics come hand-in-hand with the best players but it’s not necessarily the case;

SAF (4 international caps): Kendall & Catterick (0): Paisley (0): Shankly (5): Clough (2): Revie (6). Ramsey (32) & Ancelotti (26).

i do, however, think the game has changed with introduction of DoF and groups of coaches & assistants. It’s lots to do with surrounding yourself with the best & working with them. I think Lampard is bright enough to do that.

Apparently, he's been appointed as the new Minister for Levelling Up.

Not sure if Frank can turn around this wreckage of a club. It is a massive task and I am not looking forward to watching the inevitable struggle ahead. Sit tight and grip your seats

I am thinking exactly the same, he may find a formula and integrate a youth player and we all think wow what a master stroke, but unfortunately I think we will do well to survive this season as Richarlison dragged this team at times last season over the line, he had a massive influence on other players during matches and it got the crowd going, whereas I dont see it with the players we have left, we all need a big lift as at the moment it is depressing

Should just walk if he isn’t backed. No point in being involved in another relegation scrap with us.

The two biggest issues last year were Dom being injured and Benitez spending a minute at Everton football club. I do think Frank started figuring something out as the year went on and as long as Dom is healthy, I think we will be alright.

Just perusing your list of managers and I understand your point but being a bit pedantic I think Ferguson and Clough at least were very good players whose careers were blighted by injury.
Kendall was certainly a great player in my opinion , the absence of caps being more a case of circumstance rather than lack of ability.

Kendall was widely regarded as the best uncapped wing half in the league by the fans of most teams.

Losing Richarlison is a major blow to our prospects and not only for his goal scoring and talent.
As you mention his determination and effort dragged the rest of the team along at times.
Just as importantly his connection with the crowd provided an added point of inspiration that will be missed this season.
It takes time for a player to form that kind of bond with the support.
Only Gordon will be comparable in this coming campaign.

Yep, very interesting, thanks for the share - he comes across well, with intelligence and integrity. Perhaps even more parallels with the Derby job - losing key players, FFP issues.

I feel sorry for Frank, how is he going to pick his strongest XI, from all of these new players that we have coming in.
