Not 100% sure on Frank but Brentford have the second lowest wage bill in the league every year only higher then Ipswich this year. What he gets out of Brentford is genuinely a minor miracle but so is the recruitment system they have that identifies the talent

I'm assuming this will be our official press release when he's announced.

He has no major achievements to note, but he pulled a minor miracle keeping Brentford up...
 
Please let it not be Frank. This squad needs an elite manager who knows how to get the max out of the resources of an elite club and knows how to work under the spotlight and scrutiny of an elite club. He also needs to be a project manager because this squad age wise is set to peak in like 5 years.

No elite manager will work here.

An honest press release would read something like this

We are relieved to announce the appointment of Thomas Frank as our new head coach
Thomas has proved he can work with a limited budget and can maintain consistent mid table finishes on a shoe string while being prepared to sacrifice the domestic cup distractions to maintain a respectable league campaign.
We look forward to him developing our young stars so we can avoid paying big wages and then sell them when they reach their full potential.
I'm sure you'll all join me in wishing Thomas success in his new role.

Yours
Daniel.

Same could have been said about Poch when he joined us also and he was great for us.

I like Frank as a manager. Franks a good manager that gets a lot out of squad that's not that great that also lost it's best player this season. Will be be a success I don't know, issue at this club to success isn't who manages it's who owns us. Until that changes nights like Bilbao will be very very rare and I've come to accept that

You can tell that's the plan though and that's the depressing thing. Built this mega stadium and all the stuff around it just to make us a more valuable asset and until the owners fuck off we won't be serious about anything other then money and bottom line for them
 
Hehe, no i mean in general. In the way football is watched. How managers swear to a style. I agree with the your post i originally replied to. Its just weird.

Like Kompany for example. He played a aggressive possesion based football in the Championship, gets a promotion and stays true to his way of playing, gets relegated and fucks of to Bayern Munchen. Its idiotic.

Frank doesn't really have a style is my understanding of him. Changed it multiple times at Brentford switched from a back 3 to a back 4 and changed again when he lost Toney to get the best of Mbeumo or however it's spelt

So tiring to say, and no one answers - but why the fuck did we put £400m+ net into the squad in recent years if that was even remotely true.

Swear some of you have weird goggles on where you're seeing mike ashley's newcastle

Because no likes to hear facts , it's always Levy this Levy that, we even have a trophy and still the moans go on.
For the record according to transfermarket net spend in last five seasons has been £481 million which is slightly higher than the Woolwich but the answer will come back but we don't buy elite players.
