They cleared an attacking situation and got possession of the ball when it was looking like we were starting to increase the pressure. It's really not that much different but agree to disagree.

Well we know the lad better than you lot to be fair.
Thanks for your concern all - met some decent United chaps up here, See you at ours….
Doesn't the dislike for Thomas Frank come from the time he said they "battered us" or something, in a game we ended up winning?
I don't really mind him. He seems a bit hyper sometimes, but he's not even close to the most annoying managers in the league.

Yeah it’s literally just from this. He’s the most standard bloke otherwise, people just got their backs up he made that comment. I think many of this forum thought he was English for ages as well from memory.
Brentford fan having a mare in this thread.
Imagine signing into the forum of the team you've just lost guttingly too, and trying to pick fights all over the place. Just bizarre.
@el diablorojo will have earned himself plenty of tags when Brentford inevitably get relegated at some point in the future.
Considering he's been here for 13 years now, I assume he'll be here to face them unlike the majority of newer opposition fans who sign up to gloat whilst their club is riding high and then disappear when they hit a rough patch.

I kind of understand Frank's frustration to be fair. If he had half the budget Ten Hag has, he probably wouldn't waste it on hunches and guesses and players he managed in Denmark or something. He might actually use the money wisely instead of gifting Inter Milan and Chelsea millions of pounds for garbage.
Thing is, he's called himself 'red devil' and was referring to United as 'we' right up until Brentford got promoted to the PL.
Was probably chanting 'we support our local team' at his TV when the Brentford fans had their tails up without a hint of irony as well.

I get those who support United because the hometown club they also support will likely never get to the PL, but when the two clubs usually meet - usually in cups - I don't really see any bitterness regardless of the result. The same for foreign fans for the times we meet their hometown team in Europe. This gentleman seems like he hates United. I mean, bringing up Antony and Greenwood for cheap points? Using the tiresome "ref did you proud" line because we won a game at home and talking down to those who aren't from Manchester and go to games? It's hard to imagine him ever genuinely supporting United.
Such a nasty, bitter cnut. Keep on whining you wanker.

Brentford have a great transfer strategy that Frank has feck all to do with. Those decisions are made completely over his head.
Never trust an Englishman with two first names.
What is this shit? Why can't he chew gum like a normal human beeing? fecking lunatic.
Even Stevie Wonder could've seen it coming. He's a Danish Klopp temperament-wise.Heavily linked a year later
Lottery numbers?
He is probably the most Liverpool manager irk manager I have seen in a long time.Heavily linked a year later

There's 2 types of people in Denmark, Liverpool fans and Manchester United fans.
A lot of Chelsea fans too
You even get a few weirdos who support random clubs like Ipswich and West Ham. I met a Danish stoke fan once, he was a knob.
Would be shocked if Liverpool went for him but really happy for him. He’s a nice bloke and has done very well working his way up from the bottom. Few deserve it more.
As much as I think Frank has deserved a chance at a bigger club, there's no way he gets the Liverpool job.
The gap between what's expected at Brentford and Liverpool is simply too big.

Would be pretty happy if Liverpool went for him tbh, but I don't see it.
Yikes. The guy has done a good job getting Brentford to the Premier League and keeping them there, but is that really the level we are aiming for?
Netto Klopp
He's a good coach. There's a few of a similar standing right now in the PL who I believe would do a better job than ETH, and therefore wouldn't turn my nose up at.
Don’t like him
I think it would be a shrewd signing. In a lot of the underlying metrics they are performing well. Each season in the PL the metrics dictate that he's around 8th to 5th in the league which is impressive given the size of the club and the quality at his disposal. He's also used to working with a functional backroom set up which it looks like the new INEOS model wants to implement. I would have actually said he'd be a good move for Newcastle and Ashworth after Howe but now Ashworth looks set to join you it makes sense for him to move there.
I think the only thing that would concern me is the size of the club, he's not managed at that level before.
Done a brilliant job this season considering the absolute nightmare we've had with injuries coupled with Toney's ban. Not an appointment that would be popular with the fanbases of any of the "big 6" teams though as not a big enough "name" I would have thought.
Better than Southgate, but always thought he came across as a bit of a difficult character and not top class for me. It is slim pickings out there though so who knows.
Ye there is. However there good managers at mid table teams. This will be to big of a task. We can’t seriously go down to that level… half of them have probably never managed in the CL before. They’ll probably win us a few games and then we’ll be back to square 1
I think someone like him would shrink at Utd.
Don't like the bloke, but weirdly I wouldn't be wholly against this.
He certainly has more personality than the current bloke / Potter / Southgate
Could see him being the "Head Coach" rather than the Manager, as INEOS are moving to structure wise.
