Yeah, I worded that badly. Frank has been talking a lot lately about playing for the club and having heart. Going back to Lampard 1.0 he does believe that if you have enough heart and play for the badge, it somehow lifts your playing level.
When I look at that line-up that I agree is complete shit, there can be just one explanation. It is all players that Frank feels love the club.
Does not explain Sterling
Yes but there have been serious blunders. Letting go of a perfectly capable physio and replacing him with the physio that got Dave Grohl through a concert tour....and then not coincidently player fitness has been crap. Talking to reporters about James Corden giving him advice. Making a complete mess of high profile transfer deals. That is all outside the manager carousel. Bringing in so many players that they have to sit on the floor of a professional locker room. I hope they have learned from these blunders. It has been a circus of a year.
I would prefer to think that they are very good business men that got a little cocky with all the success they have had with the Dodgers and thought they could just come in and own the league. They are finding out the hard way it is not going to be that easy and they will adapt....or it will be a very long ten years.
If the reporting is correct, Poch will have input on transfers and what current players suit his team. He will not take over the team until after the season ends. He can collaborate with Frank about what is happening with the first team in training.
