New manager poll

[JHB]

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.

To be fair to Frank he walked into an even bigger mess at Spurs than the one here. It’s not like he was the only manager to struggle there. De Zebri has finally got them playing a bit better but he did also spend £300m + in the transfer window to do that. You would expect some uptick from spending that much.

The fact Brentford have continued to do well since he left could be read as evidence he left behind a set of structures, tactics and players that worked well.

Nobody should give you sh!t for your opinion. You are as entitled to the next person to say what you think.
That is the problem with the world today, some people believe that they are the only ones whose opinion counts, and get all arsey if you contradict them.

That said I don’t agree with you about Frank. 😂 I do not think anyone who manages Tottenham should have that record held against them. Spurs is yet another basket case of a club.
I believe his work at Brentford was more akin to what we are looking for.

I haven't got a f***ing clue.

I'm an mostly an armchair fan these days.

Whoever takes over, they will have my full backing from the comfort of my sofa.

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

Just saying, if he was appointed and proceeded to lose 8 from 10 we would lost without trace at the bottom and could save spending anything in January even if there was some folding stuff in the bottom drawer

I recognise his achievements at Brentford, I also recognise that he benefitted from their much admired data recruitment model, a Seven-Stage process of data analytics and traditional scouting.I understand that the manager is 'Brought into the loop' in the final stages to assess shortlists of targets.

Presumably more click bait.

Never mind the hairdryer. They'd be getting a flamethrower.

Maybe Frank could also improve the player recruitment as well as our league position.
I understand that as the manager he would have been brought into the loop at a later stage, but he would definitely have a good understanding of how their system works.
At the very least he should be able to steer our recruitment team in the right direction.

I've ruled out Eddie Howe because I don't think we could get him, but he would probably be our best option. I suspect he is waiting for something bigger.
