Super post.
Some of the comments on here are frankly appalling.
Mistake, hopefully not one we can't recover from, and an appointment that should be learned from.

I did read players got pissed off with frank as was lording Woolwich to them. Tbh I think players first few games were buying into him but early realised his tactics were shit and antiquated. He should have gone after Woolwich away. Still cant forget towards end of first half that game he got vicario from just inside own half just to lump it into Woolwich box but ball sailed over for a goal kick. Diabolical tactics.
I wish we could close this thread. Frank was main cause of our shit. We even had to pay him off ffs.
You don't have to click on it, mate. Nor, even, post in it.
Ignore it and you'll never have to bothered by it again
Was such a shit manager. He dont deserve air time.You don't have to click on it, mate. Nor, even, post in it.

I read it's him on the BBC, and Postecoglou on ITV. At least Postecoglou has managed a national team at senior level, and has some senior caps as a player.
The U20's World Cup is next year, that's the limit of Frank's international football career.
Didn't make the PL manager of the season shortlist
He's a wanker
Celtic are after him apparently
Celtic line up 'ambitious' Thomas Frank appointment as new manager in summer
Thomas Frank has emerged as an ambitious target to become the next Celtic manager. Sources say he will have to be convinced to take the job at Parkhead.
Scottish football is poor & probably on a level with league one. Might be the perfect fit for Frank.
Only difference between Frank and the posters on here is we can’t say lump it in Danish
How have you got the time to watch so much Scottish football and so much League One football to know such a thing? I’m lucky if I have time to wipe after shitting. Yet here’s you watching hundreds of hours of football.
He'll need to lose the underdog mentality.Celtic are after him apparently

I actually think he'd be a horrible fit for Celtic. He's clearly not made for managing a team expected to dominate and have a win-at-all-costs mentality. Genuinely think he'd flop there and get sacked.
He need to go to an underdog again - that's the only type of club where his negative, data-driven, set piece + cross spamming shtick will be accepted and work.
When I look at the current Prem I struggle to pick a club I can picture him doing well at tbh. Maybe like Sunderland? Or one of the relegation/promotion teams? Leeds? Almost all the others team to currently have better styles of play and more ambition on the ball than Frank would offer.
He needs to be somewhere where the players, fans and media don't mind his side never being the protagonist in games. His Brentford thrived on being ignored, always nicking goals and results from teams who didn't see them coming.
Celtic is one of the worst places he could possibly go, they are the focus of every game they play and are always being measured against the ghosts of glories past.
He'd have every chance of getting another Champo minnow promoted with a data-driven operation requiring a manager who will adapt to whatever he's given. Maybe have a go at the Watford carousel.
