Players are the most expensive thing and unlike a stadium their value is unpredictable over a timeframe.
Precisely.
Had it way too easy and need to get down to some proper, serious tactical work and drilling, where they are trained to actually have to be disciplined and effective on the field with nowhere to hide.
After producing our worst league finish in 48 years and our worst points total in 90 years they have some brass neck making any demands. They have it easy, never criticised no consequences to losing, none of those drills that the nasty man Conte made them do or the torture training from Poch. If they love him so much they should have shown it in the league in the last 18 months."Dressing room backlash"??
What they gonna do, go on strike?!
Or what is it...oh noes, it might affect them too much and they could start losing games?
Stop with the bullshit and get this clown gone.
Players have had it too easy doing what they want on the pitch with zero discipline.
It's not some sort of playground here to lose games for fun.
They are paid to train and play when selected.
They are not a Union to make demands on the executive or they down tools.
Fuck is even going on here.
Tbh Ange and the board have made mediocre managers look good. We had poch where we dismantled teams. Dubious as well whether Howe is as good as everyone makes out. Poch different class imo and not even in same conversation. Ok he won league cup but has bottomless pit.
Or, at least, be responsible enough and have enough self-awareness to accept that he was the core reason they weren't able to.
I think it will, being honest. Likely the reason for the press to start hinting at it today (probably a club leak).
If he was going to stay then it would have been announced in the past week. If the choice was to sack then Levy and co knew that it needed at least a week's break from the final day to not look completely brutal.
It's a bit ironic that if you type 'Daniel Levy' into Giphy.com, all that comes up is a series of images of an overtly gay actor from a comedy show called Schitt's Creek.
Yeah, the players will virtue signal for a bit, but when it comes down to it, they’ll knuckle down.
I think Romero was going one way or another any way. The Little Argentina of Atleti is just too enticing for him.

To be fair to Howe he has done incredibly well to last as long up there as he has, and he seems to have a lot of buy-in with their fans. I was sure he would come in, save them from relegation, get them up the table a bit and get binned off (i expected it the summer just gone) for a sexier name to make them CL competitors, so for him to be going into a 5th season having got them in the CL twice and won a cup I don't think you can sniff at his achievements, one of the best English coaches in recent years for sure.
Disingenuous argument, anyone with half a brain can see a club like Tottenham Hotspur has a much higher ceiling than Brentford. Plenty of clubs tread water in mid table at PL level then get the soul ripped out of the team and go down within a couple of seasons, Damsgaard is already reportedly off to Real with heavy interest in Mbeumo, not hard to see why Frank might see a good chance to jump ship while his stock is high at a big club with lowered league expectations following a 17th placed finish.
Really I can't believe why I'd have to answer to a Tottenham fan why a manager might rather manage us than Brentford but there we go.
because spurs is a much bigger club than brentford...its a big promotion!
We gonna play in the CL. That will be a huge draw for many managers now.
We're a much bigger club than Brentford, bigger budget, better salary, CL football...no brainer really.
Ambition. Brentford can't be his personal ceiling. Maybe his national team.
Hahaha

Worse than Trix and Hercules
He follows it up with saying he doesnt know what the decision is.
Nice of him to pretty much confirm his source is a coach at the club though isnt it!
Nonsense post
They'll also know their place and try to get in [insert manager here]'s good books to cement their spot in the starting XI.
I remember that clip of Madders on the bench lamenting our style of play (I think it was to Sonny) - Ange seems to have their allegiance but his coaching has been godawful generally in the second half of this season. I can only imagine that players will actually enjoy being better coached, which basically every rumoured candidate for the job would offer.
In 24 games against the top 12 we won 3, drew 2. Lost 19. Played 24…11 pts. Even lost 2 against the worst 3 teams in the league for years.
Leicester had a run of 15 games when they won one and lost 14 . Yes it was us they beat.
It might seem harsh but it’s the right thing to do.
He probably knows Ange is off so is orchistrating an exit anyway.
Just an opinion Howe is decent but not as good as everyone makes out. Has a ceiling. Poch outclasses him imo though.
