Everything to do with comparable success though.
Winning at Inter because they spend less on transfers but more on wages doesn’t mean shit when it comes to expecting him to be successful in England with Spurs.
Maybe the CL but not domestically

Thomas Frank has turned Brentford into a permanent premier league fixture with a wage budget consistently in the bottom three.
Anyone using the argument that "but Ange beat him with Spurs so Ange is better" is brain-dead sorry. Ange should be beating Brentford comfortably every time given the absolute chasm in resources available to each manager.
Turning a mid table championship team with an average crowd of 10,000 into a midtable premier league team is no mean feat. Recognising that the football he played in the championship wouldn't work and adapting to the premier league and doing it well is a great sign. I guess we don't know exactly how he'd set us up at Spurs, because again he'd recognise that the quality of player available to him is better and he'd adapt again and none of this "it's just who we are mate" schtick which some people love but I think is just unearned arrogance.
I loved the trophy and it's something for the club to build on but I am getting fucking tired of 8 hour round journeys every other week to watch us get battered with no discernable sign of improvement or plan, and Frank is absolutely a step up on that and I'm certain.

My favourite part of the last 40 years as a Spurs fan was winning the the EL and having bragging rights for trophies over the gooners ever since has been a close #2.
Winning shit is how I’m measuring our coach now because we’ve just won something major
Yep, I’m a blatant gooner because like most of here I think this guy is complete shit and I’m not blinded by the Europa league.
The second biggest European trophy there is .. mate until like three years ago it was the only other European trophy. Stop wording things to try & big it up lmao, for years we were a champions league club! The list of EL winners is hardly fucking elite.
Frank has overachieved for years in the best league on the planet and shown enough to deserve an upgrade. He wouldn’t be my first choice but I like him more than Ange who managed to get 17th with a vastly superior team and resources. And who is an intensely dislikable person.
Glad the board seem to be making the right decision - fuck off the cultists.
Edit: Throw everything at Glasner, he won europes second best trophy, beat Ange home and away, finished miles ahead in the league with less resources and then won an FA cup against Manchester City in a final.
Guy schools Ange on every level.
Starting to feel like maybe only if Pep and Klopp had a lovechild would you be capable of digesting the idea that there might be someone out there who could do a better job than Ange. Stone me if a guy who's been to 2 CL finals in the last 3 years isn't an exciting prospect for our first CL campaign in over 6 years but an Australian fraud who gets you a point a game in the league as the price of cup success is our messiah I think we might well be completely fucked.
edit: I forgot that Conte season admittedly lol 2nd CL campaign in 6 years.
“Everyone on here who disagrees with me is a gooner troll!”
99% of the forum wanted him gone pre final. It’s just that most people are intelligent enough to not have changed their mind based on one game against Manchester United.
You always wanted him here & have used that to justify it now so it’s not surprising. We should go ahead and replace him with Di Matteo, blokes won Europe’s BEST trophy so must be a better coach, right?!
Totally how football works.
I have never seen him in print or on his YouTube channel say anything that isn't done, being done or finalized.
He's a bit of a snowflake, middle of the road sports journo.
What’s this got to do with Ange?
Not everyone
Definitely you though
Fake policeman security guard mall cop gooner troll
If he doesn't get a move this summer to a club like us.. He may be starting to think "what more do I have to do?" Almost a victim of his own long term good performance.. The fact that Brentford being 10th now is just something we shrug at and expect, when really it's astounding. Thats whether you think he's the right appointment for us or not.
Nah I'm fed up now buddy, you were pretty reasonable even before when you were Ange in but you have fully drunk the Kool-Aid and refuse to have a good-faith conversation now so I'm not going to waste my time.
Right decision to remove Ange (assuming that’s what is happening)
Not sure Frank is best available choice however (assuming that’s the replacement)
And to be honest if decision was to remove Ange irrelevant of the Europa Cup (and I heard from 2 journos we got talking to in Bilbao that they had been briefed it was going to be his last game whatever the result), then it really begs the question why wasn’t he removed in say December last year when we might still have been able to have a reasonable league season as well as cups.

I think Venkatesham will have a big say in this decision.
That’s ok. Let the tears out because it looks like your boy is finished here. A nice little meltdown in front of everyone is what you needed.
I assume Frank will be getting your total backing just like Ange has?
We were talking about Inzaghi I thought?
I don’t get why you went on a rant about
Ange
If Frank comes in I’ll back him longer than you do.
You’ll still be a gooner troll
Regardless of what anyone wants to happen.. No football club should be gauging fan opinions on any footballing decisions they make. Whether they be something that we like or not.. Christ.. Just trust that you have professionals making the decisions in the club that will be proven right in the end.
