Ok, so you’re voting for “young player of the year”. That’s fine, it’s just not what this vote is about

How’s he the “only” reason? It’s not like he’s scored or assisted or even contributed consistently. Anyone picking him over Dalot has a forward bias IMO

Me neither, too small a hill Of course it’s impossible to know until we see them here. I just think it’s even harder to stay in the Prem than getting there, especially more than two seasons. And Brentford didn’t even have a large budget in the Championship if I remember correctly so getting...

Would you rather have him than Frank? It seems many would and I don’t really get it. I’m not sure people are aware how big an achievement it was to secure another season in the Prem this year for Brentford. Their injury list has been at least as bad as ours with their entire back line out for a...

Uhm, he’s far from arrogant. Confident, but certainly not arrogant. Watch his pre- or post match interviews.

Oh, City and Newcastle don’t count as football clubs in my world.

Hoeness is one of the hottest names in Germany and rightly so. I don’t see why we’d go for him rather than Thomas Frank though - both has overperformed with their teams, but the latter has done it for a longer period and knows the league.

He had Brentford play a dominant possession based type of attacking football in the Championship. Then he changed to a more pragmatic style with a solid low block and quick counterattacks against better opposition in the Prem. He’s also very good at preparing for the specific opponent. But his...

Sean Dyche. No, hear me out…

I think it’s coincidence - the sample size is laughably small. Though it could also be due to the fact that he only receives the ball under pressure and never gets a clear cut chance

100 % this. That’s what Brentford does extremely successfully with both managers and players (and probably other staff as well). And no, you can’t put everything on formula so of course there will still be a need for qualitative assessment and prudence, but I don’t see why we shouldn’t optimize...

What do people think about Potter? Seems like a decent fella who had Brighton playing very exciting football. Apart from his time at Chelsea he’s done well - I’d like to try him. Or maybe Thomas Frank who seems to be very tactically shrewd and a capable modern leader?

Mads Hermansen at Leicester

I don’t think anyone hassan idea

Is there an “EtH in crowd”? If there is, they can’t be many. What I see are some who think we should get rid now no matter the alternative and others who’d like to wait until after the final and maybe till we have a proper replacement in place.
