Some of our alleged targets have already joined or are about to join other clubs. Would a manager like Frank be appealing big enough name to get players in? Who knows?

It’s the right decision. I think even the fans that are proclaiming to be enraged by this know deep down that a train crash was awaiting us very early next season if we kept him.
I was a big advocate of his and tbh I think if he had got a few more players in pivotal positions to really make his system work (namely a top class 6/regista and higher quality touch line wingers) he could have been much much better, but alas as is the story with every manager under ENIC that didn’t happen, and after the performances last season Levy sure as hell wasn’t going to back him now even if he did decide to keep him.
The question now once again is where do we go from here? I like many others find the Frank rumours highly worrying and surely there is another iron(s) in the fire.
The reality is Frank plays boring uninspiring football, doesn’t really have any pull factor for players, and has never managed a club close to the size of Spurs. He also plays predominantly 3 at the back, which would mean another radical shift in player personnel at the club and more playing square pegs in round holes because the club won’t sign him the players to really implement what he wants. I genuinely think it’s a disaster for waiting to happen.
Between Frank, Iraola and Silva, the 3 options most routinely linked, I would personally take the latter two all day.

I don't think I've ever believed the "mutual agreement" line ever actually means that, and I doubt anyone ever had so it's just an observation
Bizarre. You are full of hatred because...he cupped his ear?
I'm surprised how shocked I am each time I read this. Incredible patience from the club, to be fair.
Jose ..Conte? Its not always what you think we want
A statement that reveals, as always, that Levy reads and listens to absolutely all the chatter in the media.
Why is it a weird take... because it differs with yours. Might as well get Johnny Jackson from AFC Wimbledon... might work, might not. Also, it was Mark Warburton who took Brentford from League 1 to the Championship.
Bring Mbueno with you.
However, the Board has unanimously concluded that it is in the best interests of the Club for a change to take place. Following a positive start in the 2023/24 Premier League (PL) season, we recorded 78 points from the last 66 PL games. This culminated in our worst-ever PL finish last season. At times there were extenuating circumstances - injuries and then a decision to prioritise our European campaign. Whilst winning the Europa League this season ranks as one of the Club’s greatest moments, we cannot base our decision on emotions aligned to this triumph.
It is crucial that we are able to compete on multiple fronts and believe a change of approach will give us the strongest chance for the coming season and beyond. This has been one of the toughest decisions we have had to make and is not a decision that we have taken lightly, nor one we have rushed to conclude. We have made what we believe is the right decision to give us the best chance of success going forward, not the easy decision.
Bang on.

Sure but don't you think it's a bit different when he makes that comment about season 3?
It just looks a bit stupid to say mutual consent after that.
Makes so much sense
Enjoy. You sad basement dwelling gnome.
I get the league losses but you have to laugh that we sack the guy after breaking out 17 year trophy draught , like I said I get the losses in the league are not acceptable but when you look at it at face value - win a European Trophy and get sacked and replaced by the manager from Brentford!
