Thomas Frank

I wouldn’t oppose this appointment

Corberan

Jeremy? He's aged well since he stopped leading Labour.

 

[bitter-no-better]

Frank was supposed to be thelwells first choice if dyche stayed till end of the season. I think he has done a very good job and Brentford score a lot of goals.

 

[hallamblue]

He's got a bit of snide about him and would get us playing aggressive, front foot football.

 

[Blue83]

Brentford are weird, they get some decent results but they never go anywhere from mid table

 

[MisterJ]

What do we reckon?

He's done some job at Brentford.

Got them promoted for the first time since 40s.

13th first season in the Prem.

9th an Brentfords highest ever finish second season.

16th third season, but to be fair - Toney out for 8 months/bad luck with injuries all round. Never really in danger.

9th so far this season, and in contention of Europe.

More than established them as a good side with modest spend. Small squad, average age 25.

Is he capable of managing a bigger team? Or is Brentford his level?

I think he's a superb coach, can't understand why bigger clubs haven't been after him

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

It's a massive job at Everton
Pressure pot,as previous managers have discovered.
Is he under pressure at Brentford?
No.
Warburton done a decent job then went to Rangers, where is he now?

We took Moyes from Preston and he did ok. Frank's football is certainly no more direct than Moyes' IMO. If we were looking for a new manager I certainly wouldn't be against appointing him

 

[davek]

Frank wouldn't be much of an upgrade on Moyes, IMO. Football wise. But he'd be a hell of aa leap forward in terms of morality.

 

[mahermi1]

Id like to see the back of Moyes but I'm not fussy for Frank's football.

Iraola for me. I'd still take Silva back before either though.

Same in the same order, but still then Moyes deserves at least a season to see how he goes.

So which is it then?

Conclusion; It's all a bit of a gamble

 

[DualityNSNO]

Read a bit about him from a Brentford fan - they lauded him for being very adaptive to the situation, moving away quickly from the possession-based style from the Championship and adapting quickly to the league and requirements, even with the recruitment, while making the most of the players at hand and grinding it out when it's needed. Think he'd be a good fit here, to be honest.

Overall, hope he doesn't go to the Manager Graveyard at Spurs. Him and Iraola are proof that you can still do things "right" in the Prem, so it's a good thing to see/have.

Are we on about Corberan or Frank??

Frank.
But...baring a Monty Burns-esque whim from TFG, or Moyes repeats one of his poor starts and we've only 3 or 4 pts deep into October, Moyes is good for this calendar year
