It’s not really swapping mid table for mid table, Thomas Frank went backwards last season on league placings with spurs and Brentford. We’re much bigger than both of them clubs.
It’s up to TFG to convince the next manager that we’re a big club on the up.
Harldy a fair comparison. Spurs had their worst season in 35-odd years of the Prem era which equates to roughly par for the course of our last few years. Spurs are obviously a big step up from Brentford in every way, shape and form and are playing UCL football. Not a 'backwards step' because they had 1 blip in 3 decades IMO.
We can put our blue-tinted specs on an shout about how we're "bigger" than Palace or Bournemouth because forty years ago we won something, but I'd wager the likes of Glasner and Ireola couldn't care less about who did what in nineteen-eighty-somethingorother.
TFG absolutely do have to sell the club -or "the project" as it must be called (its the law!)- I just can't see either of those guys passing up a top job or UCL job to come to a club that is currently a step behind the jobs they are already in.
The REAL question is can we go and find the likes of Glasner and Ireola and the guy at Brighton before those kind of clubs do. I think we'll have more success that way than being at the back end of a queue for someone whose stock is higher than ours.
