Well we know he's a fucking awful manager of a club with our expectations. And tbh I think you're right and with time he'll be proven to be a fraud.

However you still gotta reapect the job he did at Brentford - getting a club with their resources promoted and made em a PL staple. Maybe a collective effort but impressive nonetheless. Until he shits the bed in his next job there's still a part of me that wonders if he'd do OK at a club that matches his (lack of) ambition.

I think it's a combination of this and what @ Postbox has written.

We were completely the wrong job for Frank despite what seemed the right fit, but his total lack of gravitas and football philosophy was startling.

I do believe part of the issue was impostor syndrome, allied to players who seemed to show scant regard, and that Frank appeared to have no authority.

Had he stayed at the helm any longer than he amazingly did, I don't think there is much doubt the damage would have been irretrievable. It pretty much proved that way.

If he has recovered from the impact and if he goes to a team with far less demands and gets the time to build from a pretty low base, who knows. I suspect he will struggle to reinvent himself.
 
I think there is - we have seen so many key underlying metrics immediately improve since he left

I havent checked, but I wouldnt be at all surprised if those same metrics were worse than under Ange

But - Ill be honest - I cannot be bothered to look it up

You think he's neutral, thats fine - I just disagree is all

Well I produced evidence that supported my hypothesis.
 
Someone said that on here before we even sacked him and it sounded just perfect at the time

Its what I expect

Poor Palace
I dont think he’ll do to well if the briefings are to be believed he had a hard time getting the respect and buy in from the players. If true I’d expect similar at Palace.

It seems like it only worked at Brentford because he had been in and around the club for so long through the championship years that he was a part of the fabric there. The same reason his set piece coach slots in and does just fine.
 

Franks going beat Postecoglou back to a EPL job isn't he? That's the derby im interested in. Ange really fucked up, guess he couldn't resist the opportunity to turn us over at that Sports dinner in Athens with Marinakis over MGW. But if he'd have held off he could still fools gold people with Europa win and got in at a West Ham or Wolves. Can't see anyone buying it now post Forest. That.backroom staff he assembled still makes me laugh.
