Frank is just very annoying.

The hair, the humour or the accent?
Well I certainly dont find him funny, the accent I guess he cant help. The Hair is a very bad idea. He comes over as a bit to full of himself.

The most apt description was from someone on here who said something along the lines of "he looks like a ski instructor who spends his nights at the resort shagging young Scandinavians".
with that hair?

Rogers would be the best appointment since O Neill but that really isn't saying a lot. Certainly would be less exciting than Poch.

Frank would be a better appointment than Gerrard but definately a dull, uninspiring one.

Frank strikes me as the modern day Lambert equivalent.

Yep. I’m just not sure the ‘done well at a smaller club and that’s about it’ is going to cut it any more. Rogers has got a wide range of experience so wouldn’t be a bad one but I just want us to finally aim for the stars this time and I can’t see why we couldn’t pull it off as long as he get backed by the owners. I suppose that’s the crux of it and we’ll really see where we’re at after the next appointment.

I’d take Rodgers.  He’s known as a good coach but with a bit if Gervais about him.  I’d copy Liverpool, let Rodgers get us securely into the top half and then replace him with “Klopp” in two or three years time.

I'd just say this to the owners. Don't take us for fucking idiots.  We all know who a good appointment would be, and who would be another gamble / a boring also ran.  Over to you.

Whatever about the new coach, there's some serious weaknesses in our squad currently. Tonight, so many of them bottled physical collisions especially at set piece time. There's very little pace in the team. Also a real mish mash of a squad with Watkins/Ings, Coutinho/Buendia, only one winger and a crap one at that.

There's no quick fixes for me.

No way is a Pochetino a Tuchel or any big name manager coming to this toxic fuck up.

I still don't buy its a squad thing. This group is far better than 16th.

Living in NY for last 20 years, I've become a huge Giants fan. They have sucked for a decade and last year went 4-13, one of the worst teams in the NFL. They changed coaches - this year, with by and large the same squad that so badly under-performed last year, they have gone 5-1 already, and everyone is talking about how coaching has made the difference.

It matters is my point. Confidence, tactical nous, mentality, courage - things that can be instilled into a squad.

With the right man in charge, this squad is capable of comfortable mid table. Build from there.

The squad isn’t perfect by any measure but when the manager sets us up in a way that surrenders the wide positions we are not giving ourselves a chance. It was so easy for Fulham to play around us tonight. He’s clueless.

Ancelotti took over Everton when they were 18th three seasons back so it's not impossible to get someone decent in as anyone sensible would back themselves to get some early wins and then view things through a long term lens.

Every game we leave it we just give the next one a harder task though.
