Of the available options Frank is the stand out candidate AND (if reports are to be believed) he really wants this job.

If we’d have snatched him from Brentford a couple of years ago I’d have been thinking we’d pulled off a bit of a coup!

No there are doubts about him because of the Spuds sacking.

It’s a funny old game!

I think he could be the right Man at the right time. COYP!
 
Frank will do fine. We are the right size club for him and he'll want to prove his worth after Spuz.
Spuz, like Man Utd are a car-crash of a club. That said, I appreciate that we are currently doing our best to emulate them😱

I liked Sage, he was just incredibly unlucky with circumstances - I hope that he does well in the Champions League with RC Lens. 🔴🔵🦅🏆🙌

I understand some of the concerns about Frank’s ability to make an immediate impact but I don’t understand the concern about agricultural football. It seems connected to this perception that Sage had us playing good attacking football. He didn’t. We had one of the lowest possession percentages in the league and one of the lowest goals for totals. We just had loads of players high up the pitch but what they were mostly doing was watching the opposition run unopposed at our back three.

I would very happily take some basic football if it gets us enough points to stay up.

I don't really understand people's obsession with playing the high press, on the front foot with great attacking play. Unless you have a team full of the best players in the world, which we will never have, it'll never work. I find being being a team who's direct and counter attacks far more exciting. Our first few years in the prem, we were by far the most exciting team to watch as a neutral and we had about 25% possession in most games.

Simon Jordan always bangs on about how he’d rather watch Jurgen Klopps Liverpool than Peps Man.City when both teams were in their prime a few years again. Klopps Liverpool team were much more dynamic rather than all that tippy tappy Pep stuff that every team wants to copy now and it just sends us to sleep

Whenever I have been to Palace games I literally boo every sideways or backwards pass. 35 years and I don't think I've missed one. Booooooo, you negative nancy, get off the pitch and phone Samaritans.

They should stop measuring every stat they can and plotting the metrics for meaningless nonsense.
Player X ran 8.682 kilometres during the game - so what? Put a shirt on a springer spaniel and he'll beat that and probably be as effective.
Player Y only had 3 touches in the opponents area. Yes, and he got a hat trick.
 
Like some others I am slightly uneasy about Frank. It may be unfair but the fact that Brentford appointed an unknown and then got better after he left made me wonder how much of that club's success was due to Frank, and how much due to other factors, including their statistical analysis. Also worried about his poor start at Brentford - different circumstances, but we are dead and buried if we don't start picking up results quickly. However, he was also my favourite opposition manager, sparked partly by his very classy reaction after an Olise-inspired Palace beat Brentford 3-1. So I will not be unhappy if he is appointed, but wait with bated breath to see our initial results and performances.
