Maybe in the minority but I’m not that invested in who a potential manager might be. How we do next season is going to be mostly dependent on what we do recruitment wise in the summer. Real top players needed.
Saying that not sure I agree with Frank being that adaptable or tactically astute. When we played them at home, we kept on pressing them off the ball when they were trying to play out. Didn’t change during the game and go back to a more direct game, how they usually play. We got 6 or 7 good opportunities through that route in that game. Not saying he can’t work on playing out from the back in an effective way with different players but there’s no evidence of it at Brentford.

Pretty much every significant club has a data science arm. We certainly do. But Brentford and Brighton were pretty much the first to do it and still seem to remain the best at it.
There is a vast difference to how that data is gathered and then implemented
Fan appeasement appointments.
Of course
There's also a strong possibility it won't be Frank - it's not normally in the interests of any party for information to leak out about a managerial appointment
So apparently we have a shortlist of 3 potential replacements...Frank, Parker and Silva 
Words fail me

I’ll support whoever comes in if Ange goes (seems pointless and stupid not to) but fuck me that’s a depressing list.
To say it's underwhelming is a bit of an understatement ,to be fairSo apparently we have a shortlist of 3 potential replacements...Frank, Parker and Silva
Words fail me
Just hope it's all a smokescreen

Who would be your choice?
Of course,but I think one is an easier assessment, based on evidence than the other.
If it were Frank, and probably to a lesser degree Silva, although I think he is the more aggressive in how he sets his Fulham team out, I would be okay with either. I don't know enough about other managers to start saying whatever.
But if it were Parker, who may go on to be a top manager, I would have reservations and be quite concerned.

I've already said in the relevant tread. If we're choosing from the Premier League... Glasner would be just about acceptable....or use our financial clout, our location and our Champions League football to prise Emery away from Villa.
I don't really follow European football to give an informed opinion but I'm convinced there are better candidates out there than a mid table nobody with 0 experience of European football.
Klopp has been linked with a few jobs lately. None bigger than Spurs.
Fuck the hotel off for now and use the money to tempt him. We're not a traditional rival of Liverpool.
Who's your choice?

I don't think we could tempt Emery but Glasner is surely on our shortlist. He did say he was 99% certain to be Palace manager next year which suggests he isn't looking to move.
We should be able to tempt either. The balls in our court. We have the financial power and the clout...so use it.

Just taking the easier cheaper option is not the way an ambitious club should behave.
Ask yourself this. If any other Big 6 club, or any other of the 10 richest clubs in the world wanted Emery or Glasner, do you think they would get them?
Maybe, but Levy gonna Levy

This journalist makes some solid points in favour of keeping Ange. She doesn’t gloss over his mistakes but makes some good points such as - in the 21 games where we had our best back four we won 16 drew 2 and lost 3, she also talks about our injuries and also points out that Solanke is the only senior player we’ve recruited under Ange last summer, the rest being kids. The main point, as far as I’m concerned is that Levy is the problem - totally agree.
Maybe it’s not Ange we should sack but the fitness team and some of the coaches
Similar. I’m not “Ange in” but taking on a fairly uninspiring manager isn’t worth the huge dent to morale the players will get.
The flip side is that Levy won’t put his hand in his pocket for Ange
Feel pretty screwed either way tbh
Fair enough, disagreed on Frank yesterday as i think he's a decent coach but if (big if) that is the short list its appalling.So apparently we have a shortlist of 3 potential replacements...Frank, Parker and Silva
