Look at Arteta, this time last season they where rock bottom, now there top. Got to give the manager time

Just because you give both Arteta and Lampard time does not mean both will work out the same way.
 
I like Frank and back him, wouldn’t know where we go if we sacked him but I thought it was a shocking performance today. We had so much luck, should’ve been a heavy defeat. To say it was a fair result doesn’t sit well with me. I suppose they put the ball in the net as often as we did but if there’s not a massive improvement Leeds will beat us by hard work. Villa survived by the skin of their teeth in ‘15 but the chickens came home to roost the following season. I fear that’s us now.

OK but it's also hard to know how good this squad is though is it not? Like if we get a manager in who we know is good at getting results and they don't perform, then we know it's a bad squad.

A good chunk of these players got to within sniffing distance of the top 4 under Carlo Ancelotti, only to finish 10th, 8 points off fourth. after suffering home losses to Burnley, Sheffield United, Fulham, West Ham and Newcastle in the second half of the season.

In fact, after being 2nd on Boxing day, some of these shithouses went on to take part in only 3 more home wins that season under Carlo Ancelotti. One of the greatest managers around.

I had this conversation with my Son this evening after a couple of phone in's driving, the fact you have to face is that modern football is about results and the riches of the PFL and the implications of losing it drives all decisions. Last season was a wake-up call for Moshri and the Russian and the implications of losing everything....All managerial appointments aside from Alydace and initially Frank were about saving the club from drop. As Russian sanctions have effectively turned off the investment tap, we are faced with challenges in player recruitment, and this Summer has clearly demonstrated that the signings we have made, often competing against several other clubs have happened because Frank is the manager and his vision and plan has convinced them to sign...

Everton has bet on and lost playing managerial roulette, more than once, no manager is perfect and no team is perfect and yes we can look at someone like Potter who for me is the best coach in the Premiership and think what if, but Everton is not Brighton and our club, unfortunately, is not run the same way as.

So you have to give him time and give him the chance to deliver the vision he has for the team.

That aside I do think that our DoF needs to help him, as the biggest risk with Frank and the team is the inexperience of that team and the tunnel vision that is indicative of inexperience....so I would consider a consultant/advisor call it to whatever you want, but someone who can challenge Frank, someone to coach the coach. Acknowledge that he might need help, that he doesn't know all the answers, someone he can honestly ask the question, what do you think? Or how did you do it? etc, someone that Frank can respect and want to talk to.
