So you think Frank is banging on Levy’s door to sign the level player we all want to see at this club?

Let’s both be honest with each other here, whether it’s data or culture, the appeal of Frank to Levy is his ability to get higher league positions with peanuts in terms of wage bill.

So you mean, Frank is a manager who is good enough to punch above the weights and make the best use of the squad.....

GOOD

Then there is only one problem left . thats the ownership of Levy. At the very least one less problem to worry about.

Lol, how many managers have finished top 5, CL, won a trophy...?

Ange won Europa but got us near relegation status. I can also bet you that we won't be near relegation. I'd take that bet. lol

Well I could bet you we wouldn't have been near relegation with Ange next season either.

It's kind of irrelevant for Frank.

We both agree that Frank won't finish top 5, get into the CL, and win a trophy.

Thank God we found something we agreed on.

The important part that we disagree on is that, therefore, I think it is stupid hiring him right now.
 
He might turn out great. Predicting how managers do is a lottery really, but all these clips really mean feck all.
He seems a genuinely nice guy, but in the clips posted here no coaching cliche goes unspoken ... which is what a smart guy would do when the camera is turned on him, so that is not a knock on him.

If you put their Premier League records side by side I think Iraola has done more. You never know who is responsible for individual signings, but Bournemouth seem to have made smarter signings than Brentford since Iraola arrived. I think Kerkez, Huijsen, Evanilson and Kluivert all came in on his watch? He plays a 433 in a way that would actually suit the players we have at the club.
 
Its winning the Playoff .. I didnt say winning the championship , did I ?

But that playoff means, facing off in a cup style competiton...lets say like Europa League instead of champions league...if I have to reach out to your sense of winning...

Its still winning.... life changer for most of them who do it.

Winning is binary

It’s not a cup competition and it’s not winning the championship

If we did a playoff for the bottom 4 of the PL to see who stays up, it would be just as big a game. Would it be winning?

Why it is stupid to hire him ?

Because , in your mind, you thought of some random hypothetical thing and you just convinced yourself you are right ???

Fuck are you talking about?

At this club you get what your given.

Look at the last window!

Wage-pay is the way it's going now.

Frank is a balance of both data and culture.

And thank fuck he has the former in his pocket to help ID what we need and work effectively within our procurement model.

Perfect manager at the perfect time.

You think an Inzaghi is coming here to fight with Baldcunt over an extra 10-20k a week wages for a player he requires?

People need to wake tf up.
 
*Interviewer: "I think the thing people talk about often with Brentford is Data...

"Frank: "...yes data is important, but culture beats EVERYTHING."
Very different and difficult sort of challenge to build that kind of culture at Tottenham than at Brentford, especially where you're replacing a popular figure in the dressing room.

Brentford have a ton of players in their squad still there from two years before they made the Premier League. It's been a core of guys with Frank the whole way.
