Premier League 25/26 Season

[Barlow Boy]

Brentford close ti appointing a new manager.

Keith Andrews who is currently the set piece coach at Brentford.

A club who have got most things right for a decade now.

But must be the riskiest move they have made.

Andrews has 0 managerial experience whatsoever

Thomas Frank had actually been a manager reasonably successfully before Brentford in Denmark

They must see something in him, even if the outside world doesn’t.

Fascinating to see how he gets on, I see them as a potential relegation candidate with the disruption they’ve had, so, hopefully, he fails

[Jaydog]

Why would a club with PL stability promote their set piece coach to manager.
Sure they could’ve tempted a biggish name.
Now 11/2 for relegation.

Massive for Brentford losing Thomas Frank. It will be interesting to follow their season.

Not sure of any previous coaching experience as seems to have spent most of the last decade in the Sky studio covering Championship football. Talked a lot of sense at times though.

Someone who fits into their structure and how they work?

Would imagine Brentford are very strict on things like recruitment (understandably given how successful they've been)

Some mangers won't like that, just basically being a coach with limited say in recruitment

[Irish Ian]

Brentford holding out for £60m for Mbwemo

Add that to the £30 they made on Watkins and the £20 on Benhrama.

Total spend less than £4M for the BMW who scored all those Championship goals..

It underscores why getting it right with a talent like Joseph could be so productive for us

Nice

You may be too young to remember, even I am , but was it Liverpool who always used to promote from within to management (the boot room?).

Perhaps, Brentford are doing something similar and we can only wait to see if it is successful.

I have to say, I have my doubts that it will be the correct appointment but I haven’t looked too deeply into Brentford football club.

They did didn't they?

Shankley, Paisley, someone else I can't remember then Dalglish was it?

Barcelona did as well with Pep then Villanova.

I have my doubts as well, appointing a manager with 0 experience seems very risky.

Let's hope for our sake it goes wrong

Think it was Joe Fagan before Dalglish

Brentford aren't having a great time.

They are a club which usually has solutions before problems even arise but this must be pushing them.

They've probably got some kid signed from school in Bangladesh who will be a brilliant replacement already.

But even so that's a very experienced player leaving.

With Frank, Norgaard gone & Mbeumo & Wissa likely to go, this is the type of disruption all Leeds fans could wish for, more disruption for the likes of Bournemouth, Fulham, West Ham, Wolves. Forest, Everton & the rest, please!

And Burnley look set to lose defender Egan-Riley on a free and Trafford looks to be leaving. That is ripping apart their over-hyped defence and shattering their biggest strength from last season. Selling Trafford is probably worse than Norwich selling Buendia after getting promoted. Put an average keeper in the Burnley goal last season and they likely concede a similar amount to us (and don't get promoted).

Wolves have lost Cunha, Ait-Nouri and Pablo Sarabia

Bournemouth have already lost or are losing 4 of their first choice back 5 including the goalie.

Kepa, the lad whose gone Madrid, Kerkez is off to Liverpool and the other cb is going to PSG I think.

Wolves and Bournemouth do still have the managers who've done very well unlike Brentford but some important players gone.

Yes. we need Iraola to be snapped up by a big fish.

Trafford's departure opens up the speculation of Pope moving to Leeds.

[PhoenixUnited]

Verily yes - a curse on all their houses

[Cjay]

Hope that isn't true

Nonsense

[Barlow Boy]

Keith Andrews confirmed as new Brentford boss.

This off the cuff / spur of the moment interviewing is increasing and the interviewers more inexperienced and more vacuous asking silly questions..........
