I’ll welcome frank with open arms
Said it a few months back when I was bored and did some “research ” on him which was YouTube vids and some articles.
Always knew he was a classy talker but had completely forgotten how they played in the championship
One thing of note at Brentford is they have brought in pallets who spoke English. It has always been oar5 of their structure and their model. Schade is one I know who struggled on that for t then his injury.
It’s something we haven’t done from what I can tell, but I think that common language thing is more and more important now with the coaches being more structured than ever before.

I dont see the importance. Just about every successful dressing room over the last 30 years has been split pretty evenly into English, French and Spanish speaking thirds. Its just a basic of recruiting from South America and Africa, the two other powerhouses of the world's game (after Europe)

Really???
Care to give me an example
City’s coaching is in English
PSGs is in French
Barca and Madrid are very strict in the language of the coaches
It’s not mandatory or blanket but it’s key that the players get the message and the tone of it. Not just the words
I know Brentford saw it as a challenge and built it into their recruiting model as their view was they didn’t have the time for a player to adapt

I didnt mean dressing rooms arent single language, just you have anglo, franco and latin groups in all top dressing rooms.

Who in our current squad doesnt speak good English? Richy and Keeley are probably the hardest to comprehend
 
Can anyone explain the logic of Ange not being good enough on account of his achievements coming in lesser leagues, but Thomas Frank who has literally not even managed a match Europe is the right man?

For me i don't really care where a manager is from i'd give them a chance to show what they can do.

Did you watch us this season?

Brentford scored more goals than us this season.

i watched all the games and i can't remember a stretch of high quality entertaining football games, even considering the europa league. in many games we struggled to get shots on goal and got by with very haphazard defending.

i am not sure people who want ange to stay watched all the matches, not just the highlights. ignoring the high line, we seldom were able to pass through the center, almost always our forward press was to easy to avoid which then turned into a counter attack, and the byline cross was usually met with 6 defenders on the 6 yard box. it was so predictable.

Even with the games we did win, many were not a fun watch. When whistle went was happy and relieved we won. It's like people think majority of our games were like the tonking of City, Utd and Villa. Those were rare.

Anyhow that was then. We are where we are now. And we "go again, with hope"

The football was terrible. Awful. It felt like a chore going to games. I lost interest. I was wondering what I was still doing there at half-time. I was just walking out fifteen, twenty minutes before the end eventually—something I'd never done in over 50 years of going. I'd never felt like that, ever, and it was because of him.

BUT NOW HE'S GONE, and I feel like reprising this:


(hopefully with a different ending).
