That's my point: Frank would leave Brentford for Spurs because its obviously a very big step up. Swapping modern day Bournemouth or Palace or Brighton for modern day Everton (4 interchangeable mid table sides at best) really is not, no matter how much people want to believe modern day players and managers care who did what 40 years ago.
I'm not playing us down as a club, just living in reality and accepting that highly regarded managers (just like top players) aren't exactly queueing up to come to a club that has won nothing for three decades, spent years either circling the drain and has never really done anything or being anything of note in the Prem era beyond making up the numbers IF they have the opportunity to join a club that sits at the top table - not unless we throw a big bag of cash at them (which is exactly how we got the likes of Koeman and Carlo). I'd be delighted to be proved wrong in the summer.
