Next Manager?

Frank seemed to be a good manager at Brentford, but having seen Andrews come in after key players sold and potentially do better, reminds me a bit of De Zerbi replacing Potter at the Weed. Is he such a good manager after all?

There has been a huge injury list at Spurs, but then a much bigger and better squad to chose from.

Potter failed at Chelsea and did exactly the same at West Ham. I'm no longer certain that he would be our best choice.

De Zerbi took over a Brighton that was in 3rd place and delivered them from there to the dizzying heights of 6th… followed by the even more dizzying heights of 11th in his only full season.

It could be just as well argued that RDZ’s success was built on Potter’s and only wained as his own influence came on.

As things stand Andrews is doing a fantastic job with limited resources, but he is also undoubtedly benefiting from the same structure and philosophy implemented by Frank over seven years and carrying it on. Frank always lost his best players at Brentford every year too and managed to get a tune from the next, that’s largely built into the model at Brentford.

We are trying to follow a similar model and Frank’s ability to succeed under those conditions must surely please Parish.

One caveat to this is that Brentford seem to have far superior scouting and negotiating ability than we do.

If you had to pick either, Silva, Lampard, Pardew or Southgate, who would you pick, none is not an option.

Pardew had a 40% win rate and he got us to the FA cup final only to be undone by Clattenburg so I wouldn't be against that if he still has the energy. Silva does well but Lampard and Southgate seriously?

Some good points.

My fears is that Potter was a failure at his big job and couldn't reverse that when he went back to a mid table team.

Frank has failed at his big job. No guarantee that he would fail with us, I'm just not convinced by the argument that because he was a success at one mid-table team, he will be again.

We are replacing our most successful manager. Whoever replaces Glasner, has a hell of a lot to live up to.

whoever is named as Palace manager will have my 100% backing, for at least 3 months, does anyone think that Parish knows who the next manager is, and is negotiating with him, on transfers, staff etc, or is it time for my medication. 😎

I pretty sure you'll start the "Whoever Out" thread within minutes of hearing about it.

Glasner has an aversion to taking over a club during the season. Parish had to persuade him to come to us when he did.

And if ever there was a ' poisoned chalice ' it's the Spurs job right now.

It would not be a surprise to me if Spurs installed an interim (Arry?) and went for Glasner in the summer. Whereas Parish will be very careful about who he appoints next. Glasner (impressed with him as I have been) is high maintenance. He will be looking to avoid that this time. He'll also want a manager willing to work with what he has and not keep whining that he wants more players.
Frank might meet that criteria but I'll be honest. He is not a name that excites me. I feel we'd be more negative under his management. I could be wrong.
I'd like someone that continues trying to play on the front foot when we have a full squad to choose from.
