    Anyone want to do a summary of who is coming/going/staying?  How does Franks style match with our current roster?

    Frank is very adaptable. He ran a lot of 3-5-2 early in the PL against the top 6. He's ran 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 that are more attacking.

    Fabrizio is reporting "Here we go" with Frank as the new manager. 
     

    Hopefully, Frank can bring a couple of Brentford guys with him, namely, Bryan Mbuemo. 

    The reports over the last day have been that Mbeumo still prefers Man United and we're looking at Semenyo.

    Depends on where you live.  A WWTP operator can make around $60-70k.  That alone ain't great, but yes, the benefits are usually quite good, and if the earner is a member of a two-worker household (spouse has a job making, say, $50k), you're at $110-120k, and in a mid-sized city, that's decent.  E.g., the median household income in Waco is around $50k.  Even in a big city like Houston, median is $62k.  A WWTP operator job alone can put you above median income, and can put you on track to being materially above median household income (double that) if you have another mildly decent earner in the house.

    You're not taking fancy vacations or driving high-end cars, but the baseline of having a secure roof over your head, no food insecurity, good basic healthcare, enough money for clothing and some of the nicer basics (furniture, TV, cell phones) is a pretty decent life.  I mean....I guess I look at the kind of life I was born into and had for my first few years of life, and it looked a lot like that.  And to my mother -- who had grown up in abusive households, and then when her mom fled, a brutally poor household that survived with the help of gov't assistance and charity -- our little life in a tract home, where we could afford to buy meat for most meals, and I could have some new toys, was the American damned dream.  Her perspective made a lifelong impression on me.

    The industrial side of wastewater usually pays more than municipal. You might work worse rotations (nights/days) or more overtime if you go industrial though.

    Personally, I think this will keep escalating until that happens.  That's the excuse they want.

    They'll declare martial law and grab power due to "emergency situations."

    not great, but justified. not to beat a dead horse, but if we lost the europa final it shouldn't be that big of a debate as it relates to ange specifically. 78 points from 66 matches over two seasons is just not good enough - regardless of how shambolic the front office is.

    will be forever grateful to ange for the trophy and look forward to having this same discussion about who our next manager should be with everyone again in 18 months.

    It's almost like we don't have a roster built to compete on multiple fronts, especially if winning a trophy is the goal.
