Frank had a great record with Brentford, who are similar to us, maybe just a bit smaller. He's counter-attacking and works hard on set pieces, like Richards' throw and could make us more threatening from corners.

He failed at Spurs, but that's been the graveyard of many highly regarded managers.

He'll keep us up, and could well do better than that. The only question is whether he is the one to take us into the top ten and bring home the Europa League.

But that's a problem for another day. Right now we just have to improve!

Not a great start, losing 8 of his first 10 games after succeeding Dean Smith.

Sam Allardyce lost 4 out of 6 PL games leading up to the Sunderland debacle.
We were 17th after 17 PL games when he 'Took up the reins', we finished in 14th place.

The Sunderland fiasco was the wake up call, after which his January transfers, PVA, Mili, Schlupp all kicked on and went on to be mainstays. Parish had to spend to survive, I guess Big Sam laid it out to him. This season is following a similar pattern. In 2017 those 3 players cost a grand total of £30m! You can't get one half decent player for that these days, let alone one who is going to come to a club facing relegation.
 
I always liked Frank. Seems like a decent guy and did show tactical flexibility at Brentford. There have been arguments made that his success was just down to their recruitment, but when you look at where some of those players are since they left Brentford, it's not like they were Olise level. I would be ok with him, but I wouldn't be expecting miracles. My one concern would be that under Brentford they were best when they had the players to counter at speed. Until Sarr is back, we don't have that same speed and physicality that Mbuemo and Wissa have. That's why I think someone like Pereira might be a better option, as he might get more out of technical players like Kamada, Pino and Wharton.

For me, Dyche is who you get if you feel the squad needs to be fitter, more aggressive, and you want to adopt a siege mentality. I'm torn on him. Prior to Sage signing, Dyche was well down my list of preferred choices, but given our situation and the need to get the most from a limited squad, he is starting to look a bit more attractive. You're 10 pints in and the club's about to close...then you spot a fat ginger smiling at you through three teeth...that gravelly voice...I'll give you two up top and a firm rearguard action...
 
I'm not particularly enthusiastic about Frank. He struggled under pressure at Spurs. Dyche could be the man to grind out results with limited options. All we can aspire to is staying up at this stage. Alternatively, we could offer a short term motivtor like Alan Pardew a contract for the remainder of the season. He is a local man and knows Palace inside out.

Whoever it is, they will need more quality players in January because this squad ain't good enough.
 
People voting for Dyche. Embarrassing.

i think that is a reasonable shout.
 
Has to have proven Prem record- so that only really leaves us with 2 available options.

I think Frank might be a good fit.

Hopefully he can persuade Sarr to knuckle down - until we can get rid!
 
I am going on record, quote me, and hope I am wrong.

I believe we go down if we get Frank. Brentford post Frank have improved because of their sporting excellence structures surrounding the coaching. Hence, Keith Andrews taking them to their best finish.

Give Thomas Frank this squad and our setup, I fear the worst.

I get why he is favourite, but honestly I think he is shocking. He was given huge money at Spurs and their underlying data was appalling and it showed until they got de Zerbi.

I expect a backlash and copium for stating my position. As I say, hope I am wrong and he does the business if we get him, but I ****ing hope not. Howe or Vitor Pereira for me.

I tend to agree as I stick my head above the parapet. Frank seems ok, but he didn't seem too great when faced with prolonged poor form. Howe won't come. The only experience I have of Pereira is Forest where he seemed average. There's a reason I'd go for Dyche. His football and philosophy is simple and dull, yet I believe he provides the grit and leadership we lack. With also a lot of bottom of the table, firefighting experience. I don't like his football but I think he's the man for this job. I don't fancy the others as they seem experimental again, like Sage. Keep it simple.
 
Perhaps Thomas Frank would be the one the get us back up if we do go down?

Just feels like it's inevitable this season and we need to looking at a plan to get back up.
 
The managers Parish has had to bring in previously due to similar circumstances, Pulis, Allerdyce, and Hodgson all had one trait in common - sheer bloody mindedness and complete confidence in themselves and their methods. Frank doesn't convince me, but these are desperate times.

Periera seems to be overlooked by many.

Didn’t he steady the Forest ship and get to Europa league semi finals? And he kept Wolves up the season before they capitulated.

I’d say that’s a half decent cv even compared to Frank.

He joined Wolves when they were 19th after 16 PL games and they finished the season in 16th place.
The following season he departed after 10 PL games with Wolves bottom of the table on 2 points.
