avfc1982am Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Just now, maqroll said: I like Frank, but he's probably too much of a nice guy and doesn't have the skill to get the slugs he's in charge of to perform better. At this point, Boehly himself might be as good an option in the dugout. Meanwhile Frank is doing serious damage to his future prospects of managing any club in any top flight, ever. Prospects??? He'll never manage a top team ever again. Within 12 months he'll be a Sky pundit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Is it too late for them to sabotage the Fat Sam to Leeds deal?! Shambles of a club, have been for years really but Boehly looks set to preside over a disaster of a spell before he realises that having played a few seasons of Football Manager 20/21 does not qualify you to interfere. I’m not sure a single one of their signings from the past 12 months has come off, or looked good for them. Some of them will be a millstone round the neck of the club for years to come potentially. They thought they were being clever with all the amortisation shit, fingers crossed it continues to implode at speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will87 Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 I think Frank might knock this management thing on the head after this season, might be wrong, depends how much he wants to persevere with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Get the right manager and they'll be fine and back challenging next season. They definitely need someone like Poch though to clean up the mess just like Unai has for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted May 2, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 2, 2023 Lampard’s record is understandably getting a lot of attention but it’s worth looking at Chelsea’s run of results in 2023, all competitions. DLLLWDDDLLLWWWDLDLLLLLL Played 23 Won 4 Drawn 6 Lost 13 Goals for 14 Goals against 30 Points 15 (from 18 league games) For those curious the three wins in a row were Leeds, Dortmund and Leicester.

Mantis Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 (edited) They actually haven't beaten anyone in the current top 10 all season, besides us, but even then that was when Slippy G was in charge and we looked set to be battling relegation. Just diabolical. Edited May 2, 2023 by Mantis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to drop down a couple of levels and learn the trade properly rather than using his Chelsea contacts to get a bunch of loan signings to artificially boost the team. Doesn’t seem like he knows how to coach a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 He’s going to have to live with a lot of James Bond jokes if he goes “007” with a loss in his next game. (no wins, no draws, 7 losses). On a serious note, I’m pretty certain Sam Allerdyce would have been a better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is utterly useless and massively out of his depth, but he seems less of a clearing in the woods than Gerrard. It puts to bed the usual “let’s give these young english managers a chance” talk.

He shouldn't have got another top flight job after the first time he managed Chelsea. He DEFINITELY shouldn't have got one after he managed Everton.

I would guess that literally any manager from the top 2 flights of English football, or decent experience at those levels, would have been a better choice Pardew or Sherwood would have got more out of them than Frank has 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
