Everybody is available if they want the job. We are just not pro active at getting to people.I ‘m not sure the ‘new guy’ is anybody available now.
Can see an interim through the end of the year.
Of course, the problem with getting in a manager at the end of the season is the fucking World Cup which will give us a truncated pre-season.
Feb 23rd will be the day.
It seems strange now that so many are saying we miss Maddison, Kulusevski and Solanke so much. I think a majority of people wanted them sold off after last season. If before the last window we sold Maddison and brought in Simon's, most would have said that's an upgrade, if we sold Kulusevski and brought in Kudus, most would have said that's an upgrade and if we sold Solanke and brought in Muani most would have said that's an upgrade. In hindsight those players haven't performed well in Frank's system. All very good players in an attacking system, but all struggling in Frank's defence oriented set up where we let the opposition have most of the ball and we focus on long throws and corners.
Frank was a really bad appointment but using computer generated metrics to find a manager has Johan Lange's paw prints all over it.
It shouldn’t matter who’s in the hot seat unless you’re purchasing a specialist wing back or some such to fit a specific coaches philosophy.He’s not going to be backed, because they doubt him. But won’t sack him until the end of that nightmare run.
By which point an interim will have a massively depleted squad, even worse that it is.
And the new guy in the summer won’t get the “war chest” on top of the standard amount.
We are fucked.
Attacking, front foot football. But players that suit that. Stop hiring defensive coaches.It shouldn’t matter who’s in the hot seat unless you’re purchasing a specialist wing back or some such to fit a specific coaches philosophy.
We should be staying away from those type of systems and their managers anyway.
We should establish the type of football we want to play (which should be bleeding obvious for us - anyone with football knowledge could tell you how we’ve traditionally played) and recruit players and managers to fit that ethos.
They’re using the manager uncertainty to cheap out! I’d like to be proved wrong, but from what I’ve seen nothing has or will likely change under ENIC, Levy or not!
Staggering Frank is still in charge. Really worrying, not so much that he continues to be the manager but what it indicates about the clarity and decision-making of the hierarchy
That Paratici is also around until the end of the window offers further proof of a board who seem to be fearful of consequences and are just hoping for things to happen.
More than anything else that is a worry.
I suppose if Frank is sacked in January, it's going to be Paratici who suggests the next guy, who else is there at the club to make such a decision? If it's Lange he'll probably suggest Southgate.Attacking, front foot football. But players that suit that. Stop hiring defensive coaches.
Just make sure your manager does have some sort of tactical acumen and doesn’t go hung ho.![]()
Mason interim now WBA have let him go?I suppose if Frank is sacked in January, it's going to be Paratici who suggests the next guy, who else is there at the club to make such a decision? If it's Lange he'll probably suggest Southgate.
Southgate is to old for Lange......I suppose if Frank is sacked in January, it's going to be Paratici who suggests the next guy, who else is there at the club to make such a decision? If it's Lange he'll probably suggest Southgate.
You can see a Southgate coming a mile off, but it seems Paratici is off after the window closes.I suppose if Frank is sacked in January, it's going to be Paratici who suggests the next guy, who else is there at the club to make such a decision? If it's Lange he'll probably suggest Southgate.
I don't know if these players would respect Mason now that his mates have left.Mason interim now WBA have let him go?
I’d take him as a caretaker over anyone Lange or Paratici with one foot out the door suggests to get through to the summer.
Maybe if Frank is sacked before the season ends the club will ask Southgate to be interim manager, the problem is then a catch 22 because if he does well.....You can see a Southgate coming a mile off, but it seems Paratici is off after the window closes.
There’s no fucking way of let him choose. He chose Nuno and wanted Gattuso. Etc.
We hired about 1,000 of Brentford's backroom staff so it won't be cheap to terminate their contracts now
