Go back again in January then... Makes sense them not sending him on loan at the moment because of the Callum Wilson injury

KF should offer Polish Pete in exchange. Better prospect.

I have just watched the whole nearly 12 minute press day interview. My main conclusion is that Karel Freye has written off the Sheffield Wednesday game. he repeatedly went on about making evaluations which come after the Wednesday game and the two week international break will (presumably) be a chance to get the players fit and conditioned and then he will take it from there.
Lots of talk about working hard and wanting it, put me in mind that bit of a singer with no talent pleading with the X Factor Judges that they will really really work hard because they really really want it, they just want to be given a chance. Having nothing credible to back up a work ethic and a desire to win, such as some kind of talent, some sense of organisation, some sense of purpose, some sense of context is what seems to be lacking. We are clearly going to virtually play a makeshift team....and it was very telling when Karel was contemplating the player availability problem said we will have eleven players on the pitch, and seven substitutes, and we will have that all season. That being about it, fulfil the obligation to list a starting eleven, and list the subs and that will suffice to meet the demands of the competition. It was also telling that when describing the Middlesbrough performance as terrible, he went on to say 'we didn't expect that'. Ahem oh really? So you watch all our games, pour over the statistics, have the data telling you what to expect, pick the team from the eleven plus seven, and surprise surprise it didn't work. Never mind we'll think up a cunning plan during the international break.
I am a sad individual and a veteran of watching these interviews. Obviously the talk is the talk, and the only thing worth hearing is the result..... However. To compare early Fraeye with Luzon, and allowing for language idiosyncrasies, Fraeye has a much better response to questions in terms of detail. Fraeye is able to comfortably talk of all the squad (I don't expect Reza to start on Saturday BTW, I think it will be Vaz Te until he tires, then Reza), including those out on loan, he is revealingly cagey about incomings and game plans, he has specific knowledge of some aspects of other teams (not sure about individual players, especially at Brum), and he is generally unfazed and lucid when being interviewed. Quite a contrast to Luzon who generally said little, and always wanted to get the interview over and done with anyway. Fraeye give a more 'English manager' style of interview. Anyway all the articulacy in the world does not compare to goals and wins and points, but if I were to rank Riga, Peeters, Luzon and Fraeye in terms of interviews then (without there being an enormous chasm between any of them) it would be Riga, Fraeye, Peeters and Luzon.
Fraeye comes across very well in these interviews, for someone so young and inexperienced at this level, he sounds very calm and authoritative, whereas Luzon sounds a bit Tim Sherwoodish, all passion and no substance
They are a team that performs very well away from home. They struggle a bit at home and, as I have read from their manager, they have a particular style of play that is very organised.
“They have a lot of pace on the counter attack and I think we know how the game will develop. As a home team, people expect you to be more dominant and go for the wins but they always play in a similar way, whether that be home or away, and it is working for them.”

i suppose the bottom line is that it's not his fault is it. He's hardly likely to have knocked back the chance of managing us (even as interim). You might argue that he has been behind some pretty odd signings for us but are we 100% certain he's completely to blame ? Again it's not really his fault he's walked into a shitstorm either.
I think he was the wrong choice for anything other than short term caretaker but since he's here I wish him well.

In time, how short I do not know, I think we will see he is out of his depth.

Depends how quickly he grasps the job and whether the team are on board with him.

Fraeye also says "in football, every manager is an interim manager. It's only a title". #CAFC
