If Frank does go to Spurs and they lose Mbuemo I can see Brentford going down
I can’t. They have a decent enough team already to stay up even without the two mentioned plus they recruit well player wise, in addition will have 50m from Mbuemo to invest plus they will have already identified their next manager in readiness for such an eventuality. They are a well run outfit.
As discussed elsewhere on CL, it isn't a surprise. Its more a surprise he wasnt sacked way back when.
78 points from the last 66 PL games, thats the barometer his tenure was measured on and as I said on the Europa thread, heart said keep him and give him the first 10 games of next season to prove himself. Head said the football had been dire for 18 months since the Chelsea debacle at WHL last season.
Feel desperately sorry for him, he had no luck with injuries.
Levy was damned if he stuck or twist with him.
The majority of the Ange Out crowd was Levy Out I would say. The majority of Ange In were Pro-Levy.
So sacking Ange has pretty much made everyone Levy Out now, surely a good thing.
Not excited by the thought of Frank or Silva tbh but whoever it is will get my full support.
One thing I meant to add to this, on the Ange In/Out debate, whixh I think is a major thing that Levy has in his head.
Its cheaper to sack/replace a manager in an attempt to get a tune out of the existing squad rather than back a manager and throw money at better quality players.
There's fuck all chance of us paying Mbeumo £250k a week as has been quoted he will get at Utd btw. Sonny is not even on that!

All the whilst totteringham were in Europe, imo Levy was always going to keep Angelina. He's been a dead man walking since Christmas.
I'm guessing that totteringham have made bundles whilst Levy has been in charge, but other than that there has been very little success.
If Frank does go to Spurs and they lose Mbuemo I can see Brentford going down
If both of the above happen then players at Brentford will wonder about the ambition despite Brentford* scouting players and manager well in recent years and will probably already know who they want to take over when Frank moves on to Spurs are even a top 8 team. (Sorry John boy !)
May need to get on soon at decent odds especially if Leeds have a good season because Sunderland and Burnley may need a different team to go back down with them.
*Brentford finish 10th so a trophy may have found it's way to Spurs but they need to stop losing 20+ Premier games.
Thomas Frank and Mbuemo would be a statement by Levy and gets the fans off his back for a few days.
Frank is probably on a BIG salary with Brentford, particularly if you factor in bonuses for staying up.
Should Brentford go down with him in charge this would not damage his reputation in the game and I imagine he would be very much in demand with the big clubs.

The more this ludicrous managerial merry go round in the championship continues this summer, the more quietly confident I am that we will be fine and that there will definitely be 3 worse clubs than us. Hull are very similar to Cardiff have been and I can see them getting relegated this year.
Telegraph is suggesting that Chris Wilder could be sacked today
This is bizarre. I would be surprised if the replacement is a Rob Edwards type, this feels like the new owners are heavily into the data analytics side of things so it will probably be a random European.
Comments
I would still expect them to finish midtable without Frank and Mbeumo but I would have a slight concern about where the goals would come from.
Spurs sack the women's manager 2 days after sacking the men's manager. At least they're consistent across the club.

The owner Matthew Benham knows his stuff.
Just in recent years up front they've had Maupay, Watkins, Toney, Wissa.
Naturally that approach cant last forever.
