Contingency planning : When Ange is sacked, who should replace him?

The state of this fudging club if we sack the guy who won the Europa League to replace him with Thomas Frank.
Thomas Frank is a very good manager and ready for a step up.
Do you think Brentford would appoint Ange as his replacement?
In your opinion what makes Ange a better premier league manager than Thomas Frank?

Just the small fact that Ange has finished 5th and won the Europa League at Spurs. Not to mention his other honours:
South Melbourne
National Soccer League: 1997–98, 1998–99
Brisbane Roar
A-League: 2010–11, 2011–12
Australia
AFC Asian Cup: 2015
Yokohama F. Marinos
J1 League: 2019
Celtic
Scottish Premiership: 2021–22, 2022–23
Scottish Cup: 2022–23
Scottish League Cup: 2021–22, 2022–23

Here's Thomas Frank's honours list:
Denmark U17
Syrenka Cup: 2010
Brentford
EFL Championship play-offs: 2021
Brilliant

I don't know nor do I get a fudge what Brentford do
I think you do know and that's why you've avoided answering.

What about Klopp? How would people feel about that? Rumours are he's got itchy feet and isn't enamoured with life upstairs.

No, why would I have any opinion on who Brentford might appoint as a manager? Why the fudge would you expect me to?
Which Is why I specifically said Premier league manager.
Here is a comparison of Ange v Frank last 2 seasons in the Premier League.
Ange
1st Season
First 19 games - 1.95 PPG
Last 19 games - 1.57 PPG
This season
First 19 games - 1.26 PPG
Last 19 games - 0.73 PPG
Frank
1st Season
First 19 games - 1 PPG
Last 19 games - 1.05 PPG
This season
First 19 games - 1.26 PPG
Last 19 games - 1.68 PPG
It's quite clear Frank has adapted and improved in the Premier league whilst Ange has gone backwards and with a much bigger budget.
Pathetic

Great. I don’t care mate. Football is about winning things!

Why? What’s pathetic about sticking to an opinion on the team that I live and breath and not caring about anyone else? Do you have an opinion on all 19 teams and who they might or might not appoint?
You seem to know enough about Brentford to be turning your nose up at their current manager.
At least be consistent.

Hahah Jesus Christ…mate. It’s not worth it.
Fair enough. But many thousands do care and I'm sure I'm not alone in being unhappy having to go to most home league names knowing we had little interest in winning them because we were gambling on a cup
The thing with the whole sacrificing the league for the cup thinking - even if we take it as a given that's what had to happen in order to win the cup - that's still a substantial amount of football to be played where players can be brought up to speed with the tactical set up - did it feel like we were using that time on the pitch for anything worthwhile in that regard?

Or blooded some youngsters/given gray more minutes in CM etc
For someone that gave up on the league, he seemed to get annoyed when we lost/questioned on it

Really don't think Frank is a great idea. Much prefer Silva or Glasner.

No fudging way, he’s the biggest clam in football.
No way Levy would approve of his medical practices either.
To be honest, I took that comment with a pinch of salt. Basking in the glory of Wednesdays victory it's very easy to say "oh yeah, it was all a masterplan where I binned off the league to give us the best chance to win this." Would he have said that if we'd lost the game? Doubtful, he'd have been crucified.
You can see that he prioritised the EL from Frankfurt onwards, and rightly so. But from January? Nah.
