I'm resigned to the fact...I'm worried about who will be appointed...
I think with Brentford it’s all about the organisation as a whole rather than just the individual in the hot seat.
All great suggestions
Ok I wasn’t being serious apart from the dream team that Arry and Timmy could be!!
In my other post BFS couldn’t do any worse than Frank!
It’s an interim. You won’t get a top draw, just someone to get a bounce and hopefully avoid relegation then change in the summer.
What don't you understand?
I'm calling you irrational and unhinged.
I’d like to see Roy Keane ‘bouncing’ them up and down the training pitch!
I'm on board with this of course.
You obviously missed the sarcasm in my original post. Would have thought it was obvious, no one is backing Frank
Unfortunately when you try and argue in favour of Frank you get labelled as a Frank supporter, seems like you are here but if you're not then cool
No, I was trying to play devils advocate for 'why' he was still in the job.
Ironically, it's almost a carbon copy of last season in terms of "shit in the league, lots of injuries, but cruising in europe".
I know people tend to analyse situations as some low level digital "A or B" level shit, but there's actually a lot of scope between all that to say "Yes, he's not good enough and should be sacked....BUT... he's been hung out to try by the club in terms of the players he's been left with, and the window we have just had, and some of the so-called 'best' players being an absolute clown show".
Anyone who would look at it and say it's 100% down to the manager would be completely daft. You can look at the situation and say "if we sacked him now, we could probably all agree he'd had a fair go of it", but also agree that he's been dealt a bad hand with some of the decisions that have gone against us, injuries, the shittest loan striker in the history of the club, and not having his first choice of players.
We won't know what this season would have looked like IF he had Mbeumo, Eze, Semenyo, or anyone else who seemed to be his first choice that we didn't get. We won't know what this season would look like with a competent goalkeeper or premier league level forwards. We won't know what this season would look like with a captain that doesn't have the disciplinary record of Sergio Ramos on the pitch and Balotelli on social media.
But, at the going rate, it won't matter because we'll be in the relegation zone by March and that makes all the what-ifs to be far less relevant than the whole "what if Sissoko's armpit wasn't a handball" or "what if we didn't have food poisoning that season" or "what if Di Matteo didn't fluke a CL final".
He needs to go, and if Michael Carrick pulling his pants down with a shite Man United side doesn't do it, then I have no doubt this spineless interpretation of a board will probably release a statement saying he's the right man to get us back into the PL
100% it is mate, obviously my sarcasm wasn't strong enough with the message.
Guessing he will end up like previous Brentford manager Mark Warburton and in a few seasons time he won't be a football manager anymore.
He'd kick the shit out of a few of themI’d like to see Roy Keane ‘bouncing’ them up and down the training pitch!
Vinai Venkatesham is probably talking with sol campbell trying to bring him in in the summer after frank gets us relegated so we can get relegated into EFL League One next season
