That's going to be a move that will save them tbh. He's a top coach. |  |

I don't think it will, doesn't look like they've got the squad at the moment, unless they make some big moves in Jan. [Post edited 12 Nov 12:49]

They still have players who have won the FA Cup/Conference League and played in Europe. Frank is a good enough manager, with good Premier League experience, to get them ticking again. | |

Ah yes, Spurs, where successive class managers have failed, yet the manager is the problem....
Are we really going to assume he won't do well at Palace because of what happened at Spurs. | |

Top, top coach.
I would expect them to pull clear under his guidance.
I think we are relying on Sunderland, Cov and Hull!! |  |

He's a good appointment, hoping he will fail doesn't change that. | |

I understand McKenna has already been in touch with him...

Hard disagree.
The setup at Brentford has been such that the system is half the battle won there. At Spurs he was gak.
He desperately needs this to go well and there's precious little evidence to suggest it will. | |

Wigan went down with a team that won the FA cup. The quality within that FA cup team has been gutted, which you should know as you seem to be such a Palace fan. Andrews with zero management experience is managing fine at Brentford, which says a lot about how much of their achievements were actually based on Frank in my eyes. [Post edited 12 Nov 13:26]

And successive managers have failed at Palace.
The difference Frank had at Brentford was an ownership that was happy to give him 3-4 seasons to start achieving success, he won't get that at Palace.
He maybe a success but Frank needs time, not an option at Palace. | | | |

Feel like he has a lot to prove. Brentford have kicked on under Andrews and Frank had a shocker at Spurs.
Big job for him. |  |

So the job he did at Brentford is irrelevant because its a well run club? Interesting take!
Spurs are a basket case, so you can rule that one out.
He took Brondby back into Europe back in Denmark too, so did well in his first job also.
I would say the evidence is there to suggest he might do ok at Palace.... I hope I am wrong though!! | |

Palace are a side bang in trouble, they are not the side they were2/3/4 years ago
They have let a lot of talent leave on the relative cheap in comparison to many of their rivals
The form since christmas 2025 has been absolutely dreadful which coincides with them losing Guehi who was the rock at the back keeping it all together
Frank may have done well at Brentford but for the thought of him having to spend big in Jan, simply wont happen as Palace don't tend to spend big | | | |

This ! |
I dont think the prima donas at big clubs take to managers from small clubs... players often pulled the roost. |  |

Brentford managers developing a habit of performing poorly outside the structure of the club... | | | |

Jury is out for me, he stank the place out at spurs, with a much better squad.
At Brentford he had been part of the set up and was a continuity appointment.
Could go either way. |  |

That's who I wanted after McKenna. Interesting one for Palace, I think if he's given time he'll do well there, but that's a luxury that's not always afforded as he knows all too well.
Certainly a lot of pressure to get some immediate results given Palace's position, if they don't get a decent uptick over the next 3 or 4 months it'll be difficult for him. Best thing they could do is commit to giving him at least a year, even if they go down they should stick by him as he knows the Champ. |  | | |

His replacement (Andrews) is still there and he was at Brentford for years before that, getting them up into the Prem and never relegated.
So not really sure who you are thinking of?! | |

Your response makes no sense? I was referring to ex managers and what they've gone on to do post Brentford.

Brentford was absolutely the right time of place for him. Smaller club with a sensible philosophy that he was able to tap into. Spurs were completely the opposite. Palace may be better for him, but it's still not run as well as Brentford so no guarantees that he'll find success there. | |
