I just hope Frank doesn’t turn out to be like Potter at Chelsea , has he ever worked with a club with such high expectations, I mean we are literally sacking the manager after winning our first trophy in 17 years , like I said before I will support him if he comes , but I have huge reservations

Nah I think he has a lot more about him than Potter. IMO

Interesting clip in terms of the difference in pressure at Brentford to Spurs.

If he loses to Liverpool or City for example and then says “there’s something wrong with our fans” if they expect a different result, he’s toast. Dead man walking the moment he says it.

The clubs media team will need to do a great job about clueing him up on this fan base.

Also be ready for this question: Ange said win something in his second season and did, what season will you win something?

His answer to that question will be big

This is such a reach, honestly, do you really think Frank will be blissfully unaware of the magnitude of job he is taking on? Do you think he's not aware that Brentford are punching far, far above their weight, and actually, for fans of a team that has plied their trade outside the top flight for the vast majority of their history to expect to beat a side that, whilst in poor form, is a veritable giant by comparison in terms of resources, still has players who as Frank pointed out, are desirable to him and other PL managers (shit as they may have been under Postecoglou) and finished 5th the previous term, is naive at best, delusional at worst? Fair enough if you're a Brentford fan and you're hopeful of picking up 3 points (home OR away) against a top 5 side, but expecting it? Different kettle of fish.
 
It doesn't matter mate. When people use Ferguson as an example of nearly anything about the modern game I just cringe. His methods and out look are literally from another age. Almost none of they way the elite level was approached then is transferable to today. It so anachronistic as to be pointless

Mind shifted to the Arteta video I just watched in the scum thread........

All the ranting and angry shouting just looks a bit silly these days...... I imagine the 20y/o millionaire player's internal voices thinking "Who the fuck is this geezer???" and being mildly embarrassed for him.

Let’s hope he doesn’t stumble across this thread, it might give him second thoughts about what he’s getting himself into.
 
You and your mates are the ones chucking it about. Slagging of the manager who just won our club it's most significant honour for over 40 years and then ridiculing those who defend him. And you then have the nerve to call yourself fans? All I'm doing is calling you out and daring you to say half of what you've said on here to my face.

I honestly cannot believe you're real fans and need to see it in the real world to believe it.

‘Our Club’????

Since 9am this morning???

I didn’t say he’s not aware and I wasn’t having a go at him.

I was making the point, that this is the difference.

Brentford press conferences and Spurs press conferences come with an entirely different level of scrutiny.

The club will need to help him to start out
