Ange has served his purpose getting the monkey off our back with the trophy now we need an actual decent coach.
I mean, it is if they’re doing that, Tom

He doesn't, he's a pragmatist. Go watch their football in the championship.
Frank changes based on his team. Try and play pretty football with Brentford's resources and their players and you will go down very quickly - they have athletes and target men.

IDK who you're informed by but we have significantly outspent Inter Milan every single season since Inzaghi became their manager in 2021 and he was manager of Lazio for 5 years prior, he certainly is not what you would describe as a "big budget" manager, he's made the most of what he has had to work with at both clubs and done very well in Italy. Jury is out on what he could achieve here but certainly 2 CL final appearances with Inter and a serie A are the kind of credentials that are hard not to get excited about.
If the club has any wit they'll have a quick look at Man Utd and how they acted last summer and realise that once you've undermined the manager by speaking to candidates about the job in a way that's been allowed to be made public, you cannot go back and say, "ooh dear, we'll keep you then". It doesn't work and cannot work.. When you've decided he's not the man, he's done.Essentially seems like if we can get a name that we like in, he'll go. If not, he starts the season.
DVDSAn actual, decent coach who will relieve us of the pressure of winning more trophies?
We can get back to making DVDs of finishing 4th again. The good old days
Frank played the exact same football in every game I’ve ever watched Brentford play.
Yeah ......it's not a good look and hardly a vote of confidence

Well how can they know any of the season's stats about Solanke back in November 2024?
Spot on. The picture of Commoli with Ramos and then keeping Jol for 3 months another example. The manager has no authority and the players switch off. We have to change now.If the club has any wit they'll have a quick look at Man Utd and how they acted last summer and realise that once you've undermined the manager by speaking to candidates about the job in a way that's been allowed to be made public, you cannot go back and say, "ooh dear, we'll keep you then".

Our weekly payroll is 47,000 euros less than theirs. So, a youth player's wages. I don't see what spending parity with the rest of the league has to do with comparing the club-to-club resources. Nor what it would have to do with his performance in European competition since he can't very well only play Italian sides in that, can he?We outspent them on wages?
We definitely didn’t outspend the rest of the PL on wages to the same degree that Inter did the Serie A.

Well put.
If you prioritize the one competition where glory is possible at the expense of a few quid from league positions, you get sacked by these clowns.
The game might be about glory for fans but not for Levy.
I assume you’ve only ever watched them in the prem then .. where their budget and playing squad has decided the style.
Guy is levels ahead of Ange. Can’t wait.
