Football lifer & Tottenham Hotspur fan. I would have given Ange an extension. I would fire VAR into the sun.

To make it worse, I live in Amsterdam and AZ is my “I want to watch football and live in Holland so I support *this* club” team.

That means I got tickets in the home section. So had to at least pretend to be supporting Troy Parrott and Co

I think everyone apart from marinakis knew that was a bad appointment for many many many reasons.

Jake @thetacticalyellow.bsky.social · 6h

Are you saying other clubs were lining up to take him out of Brentford?

Jake @thetacticalyellow.bsky.social · 6h

Yep. And Frank would have still been there, say, now, had it all not worked out.

Jake @thetacticalyellow.bsky.social · 6h

Yeah I just think with Solanke you can play multiple ways and he makes it work. I think anything that makes us less predictable at this point helps

Jake @thetacticalyellow.bsky.social · 6h

Haha I know

Jake @thetacticalyellow.bsky.social · 6h

Think you’re probably right here

Jake @thetacticalyellow.bsky.social · 6h

Yeah I agree with this, so we have the time for him to adapt on the job?

Jake @thetacticalyellow.bsky.social · 6h

I understand why, because we saw it work with Ange with a fit team so you had something to pin that hope to.

Frank needs Solanke ASAP, madders and deki too of course, but for me Solanke means we can play a different game.

Fair, I read that, I’m not saying that, but I know what you mean.

I maintain that we swapped a manager whose league finish potential was anywhere from 1st - 17th for one who we hope has a range of 4th - 8th

I think we’ll never know either way, I’m not saying what I wrote was a guarantee, but it’s a possibility and I’m just pushing back at the opposite being a guarantee. As I say, we’ll never know.

Beyond that, hope Frank has a deep internal conversation and comes up with some answers.

It was a final, I don’t care how we won it

Jake @thetacticalyellow.bsky.social · 6h

Or a serial winner, managing a team he taught to win, would build on that momentum instead of u-turning from the fast lane

Jake @thetacticalyellow.bsky.social · 6h

Haha, me too!

Jake @thetacticalyellow.bsky.social · 6h

I have tickets to the game, last one I went to was AZ away. God I hope this is better.

Jake @thetacticalyellow.bsky.social · 6h

"What can be done to improve the atmosphere?" feels a bit victim blamey
