...and he was only 90 minutes away from being a club legend + time added on.

I've deleted your 'always will be' (a failure), because nobody can see the future, apart from Dr Who, and he's turned into Billie Piper, so what does he know?
Doctor Who side note...

If you spent generation after generation being a bloke and then turned into a woman, you'd absolutely spend all your time looking down ur top wouldn't you?
 
He’ll comfortably clear Ange in tactics that isn’t even a question. He’ll likely clear him in player development as well.

The question is can he truly command a room and have enough pull to get players to come and die for the badge?
 
You're The Doctor, aren't you?

I reckon he's gonna win the title.

Klopp.
Slott.
Frank.

They all have 2 things in common.

1 cylibal names.
5 letter names.

It's coming home.

I mean, it works

If you can't spell Slot or syllable

And ignore Moyes and Farke, and the small matter of Guardiola throwing a massive spanner into the works

Apart from that...

Nah, it's not really an omen mate is it.

Preferred the year of the bird
 
Your first statement invalidates the second one.
Logically yes. But if you have seen us play this last season, which you clearly haven't since you're Ange in. You would know that any manager in the world and even no manager at all would be better than Ange. even Erik Hamrén.
But I'm leaving this discussion now. Ange is gone. Us Ange Out-ers won.
 
One thing about Frank coming in that i am looking forward to is his tactical awareness and ability to adapt to different opposition.

I think that’ll be really interesting to watch.
One thing that needs to be taken into account is that he will have 4 competitions to navigate, so he'll have less time to work with the squad during the season, so it's important he gets a good preseason in, if he is brought in that is.
 
What Thomas Frank has overachieved with Brentford, consistently working with the lowest budget even during their time in the Championship, is probably the highest level that can realistically be reached under those conditions. I can't see him doing better than 8th place with the second-lowest budget in the league, so it makes complete sense that he would be looking to take the next step up.

People also tend to forget that Brentford have had several seasons decimated by injuries, and Toney's ban was a major blow. Yet, unlike Ange, Frank didn’t use any of it as an excuse. He adapted and dealt with the challenges head-on.

The real question is whether he could thrive at a club where both the board and the fans demand instant results, and the margin for error is razor-thin before things turn toxic. Personally, I don’t think he would.

Unless his agent negotiated a golden termination clause, I’m not sure I’d take the job if I were him.
