Offer Brentford £5 million, take it or leave it.

£10 million is far too expensive.

If they turn it down, let them deal with an unhappy Thomas Frank.
Is that you Daniel? You cheap bald cunt you …

If you think Frank is “the guy” then pay the f’in 10M fee - if he’s not the guy then jog on.

It’s 5M quid difference - almost double the loan fee you paid for Tel’s half a season for f’s sake …
 
I was originally asked why no top teams been in for Frank (implying he's just another basic manager and not a "very, very good" one... which is what I had said).

That post is one of several made to support my case that he's a very, very good manager.

Something pep acknowledged by saying what he said.

Which I haven't heard him say about any of the other manager here that he usually has nice words for.

Your question is untethered.
Come on now... Pep was fawning over Russell Martin a few months back.
 
It will be interesting how he will manage-as is likely he will be-the demands of 4 competitions.

In his first season Postecoglou binned the cups in favour of the league-and finished fifth. In his second he binned the league and achieved a cup semi and a Europa Cup.

Both times he was citicized for for not competing in all competitions. It will be interesting to see what happens next season.
Frank has always binned off the domestic cups when he only had 3 competitions to worry about so it doesn't take much of a leap to guess what he'll do with 4 competitions to juggle.

Can you blame him.

He needs to keep Brentford a club with the 2nd lowest wages in the league in the prem. most of our managers bin the cups as the league targets the club sets take precedent. Only manager for us not to do that is Ange who binned the league for the EL and got sacked and had there not been 3 poor teams at the bottom we would have been in a relegation fight.

If you want to fight for a good league position and win cups you need a strong squad and a bit of luck. We don’t currently have a strong squad at least not strong enough.
 
Levy tried winning
He didn't like it
Therefore we are hiring Frank who is a very very good P&L manager
This has nothing to do with glory and everything to do with spreadsheets

Would rather win a cup than fight for 9th but each to their own.

No he didn't.
He didn't back Poch when we were so at the top challenging the title to give us the push.
He gave out watches to the CL finalist team before they even won it and carved the watches as finalist.
He sacked Mourinho a week before the LC final, who could potentially very well win us a trophy then.
He sacked Ange two weeks after winning us the Europa citing the league performance when he could have done so much much earlier.
People calling Ange a fraud, but actually the biggest one is actually Levy.
 
The guy at Bournemouth, Brighton, Brentford and Fulham will always take this job over a cushy number where they are. You're talking a step that is a dream to so many.
I can recall before we signed Nuno Espírito Santo quite a lot of people on here were saying that Potter was their choice but when he was asked about it by a journalist he said that he wanted to stay at Brighton. The following season he joined Chelsea.

Mate seriously.

I dare you to go watch the last 10 games in the league last season and then come back on here and talk about winning.

Until you do, I cannot take what youre saying seriously.

I get the emotion and I get the frustration but your framing is way off here.
 
Look i understand why they are a bit bitter about losing the manager that has pretty much kept them in the premier league competing, but they are very angry and bitter towards our club Brentford fans. Never knew really they hated us, but once again that’s another set of supporters with a weird obsession about us. A lot of them are talking of Brentford finishing above us etc, Spurs fans not deserving it etc. Are they forgetting who they are? Spurs are a much bigger club with CL football, a European cup to our name and a much higher ceiling. Brentford have hit their ceiling. There are a few level headed fans on there, but a lot of bitter hatred from them

 
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
Do ya know what, I didn't even check Slot(t).
And I'm big enough to admit I made a mistake, so won't change it and will take the flack for that.


Man United appointed Moyes as the carefully chosen one to continue the Fergie legacy don't forget.

Farke is 2 cylibals. "Fark-a"
If you're picking Farke, you forgot Conte.

I was picking coaches other than Pep "pot-o-gold" Guardiola to win title.

Literally everyone hates Spurs. Haven't you realised that yet?

Again... Im good with Ange being sacked. I dont need to rewatch the last ten games. But years of being told top four is a trophy has numbed the fanbase into rubbishing the Europa. Its madness. You think 17 years of being ridiculed would make us feel proud and remember the nostalgic beauty in winning silverware. Instead we are fawning over a mid table journeyman who has never had a top job but can make do with what hes given. This is clear sign the winning is not the priority. I worry about fans that cant see it. This isn't about Ange. This about trying to build momentum off of that glorious night in Bilbao. By all means sack Ange... but dont replace him with a P&L yes man manager. Unless we are happy fighting it out for 7th, 8th, 9th and never lifting silverware. Maybe that's what you want. Maybe you see that as glory... hey we finished above Brighton... take that seagulls!!! I don't know... hiring Frank just feels so underwhelming and kills the feel good factor from Bilbao.
