Since Brentford reached the PL they have been appalling in domestic cups. They are sacrificed for PL. They have been knocked out at the first hurdle of the FA Cup in the last 3 seasons and don't fair much better in the League cup reaching the QF twice. He generally bins off the domestic cups which is odd considering he never has to juggle the midweek European grind. With Champions League football you can pretty much guarantee the Carabao will be binned off - he might go for the FA Cup because by January we will know our fate in the Champions League group. I suggest you recalibrate your expectations of being competitive in all the cups under his watch. It simply isn't going to happen.I don't see any reason why Frank can't build on what Ange has already done. If Frank was mediocre, Brentford would not have enjoyed four successive seasons of Premier League football despite losing key personnel. This guy is a significant talent.
I, for one, am very keen to see what Frank can get out of our existing group of players. I think he's capable of more than mid-table. As I've said elsewhere, I expect top 6 and competitive performance in all the cups under his watch.
Old news mate, we are shitting on Silva now.Since Brentford reached the PL they have been appalling in domestic cups. They are sacrificed for PL.

Yup, Thomas Frank and Zorbi supposedly turned us down - cunts.
Levy sacks another manager"Why would Frank win the league at Spurs? He can't do it at Brentford"
All the sources are crap at the moment. Nothing is real until it comes from Fabrizio Romano. I won't feel at ease until we get a Here We Go for Thomas Frank.
It's not.
Its worked.Wouldn't be surprised if the club put this out to make Frank seem more appealing
I guess the Carabao Cup is a fair trade off for a proper go at the CL.Since Brentford reached the PL they have been appalling in domestic cups. They are sacrificed for PL.
