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. |
Indeed, Frank had 7 years at Brentford, where he recruited a squad who would play to his system. He was a disaster at Spurs & he won't get much more time at Palace. |  |

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

Its an interesting observation. I think there's definitely something in the fact the set up at Brentford is so good, its such a well oiled machine, that managerial changes aren't perhaps as disruptive as they can be for other clubs. Impossible to know, but I don't think Andrews could just slot in somewhere else as seamlessly as he has either. Promoting from within must help too, as they did with both Frank and Andrews. Brighton's another example, it surprised me when McKenna didn't take that job tbh, I guess the fact we had just gone back to back was too big a pull at the time to not then lead us in the Premier League.
Doesn't necessarily mean these managers can only succeed at Brentford though, and the sample size is quite small given the Benham infrastructure has only been fully firing for 10 years or so, albeit they were building towards that beforehand. You could probably argue other than Andrews and Frank its only really Dean Smith who has worked in a similar environment there, and that was before they ever got to the Premier League. |  | | |

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. |
Time is critical for Frank, which is why I why I wanted him at PR.
What people forget is when he joined Brentford he lost 8 out of his first 10 games, will he last at Palace if he has the same stat? |  | | |

I remember it being a steady it build up to the PL which might have gone some way to how well they adapted to it, and how ready they were. I didn't realise he started quite that slowly though.
As you say in Palace's position they'll be in a spot of bother if he sees a similar return there in his first couple of months. Would be good for us though. | | | |

They just said on the wireless Frank would be CPs 11th manager ( if you count Roy Hodgson's 2 stints as 2) in 10 years. [Post edited 12 Nov 19:13]
