At least he's not Southgate. I'd take a gamble on him or De Zerbi before wasting a single month more with Ten Hag.Tweet

This has INEOS written all over it. Cautious, team player, right mix of styles, ticks all their boxes. I would not be at all surprised if this was true. Much more credible rumour than Tuchel or Southgate. More likely than ETH staying.He'd suit the INEOS model. Brentford are data driven. Analytical.
I think some United fans would like the directness and pace that Frank utilises. Some United fans hate possession.
You could argue that it was the 1st senior managerial role of his career. He was a youth coach before that.My problem with Thomas is that he was a completely flop at Brøndby. He has done very well at Brentford but his Brøndby time was an abject failure.
ETH is an arrogant git and he's going to get sacked (hopefully). Why would a manager like Frank garner any respect from our players acting arrogant around them?Frank. The only positive I got is he's a arrogant git, and maybe that's what is needed.. he was the most hated manager in Championship before they went up.. if he comes he brings Tony with him.. that's my guess..
Absolutely and to be fair Brøndby was quite a bit of a mess with, I think it was one of the owners, writing scathing shite about the team and Thomas and fan forums.You could argue that it was the 1st senior managerial role of his career. He was a youth coach before that.
Conte had some struggles at various Italian clubs early on his career. Simeone was a mixed bag in Argentina.
Looks like he learned from the Brøndby experience and found the right fit at Brentford. He was humble enough to become an assistant manager after leaving Denmark.
Solskajer was able to bounce back from terrible Cardiff stint to do an okay job at United. Frank is certainly more qualified than Ole was at the time we hired him permanently.
Ten Hag isn't arrogant, he's just Dutch and a bit weird.ETH is an arrogant git and he's going to get sacked (hopefully). Why would a manager like Frank garner any respect from our players acting arrogant around them?
Uhm, he’s far from arrogant. Confident, but certainly not arrogant. Watch his pre- or post match interviews.Frank.

He's a cocky git has been since he was In the Championship, maybe a bit more reserved now through experience, they guy rubbed up so many people the wrong way in the Championship, I'm not fussed either way if he's like that .. SAF rubbed people up the wrong way as well.. he won't come to OT any way .... its paper talk ..reallyUhm, he’s far from arrogant. Confident, but certainly not arrogant. Watch his pre- or post match interviews.
I‘d take Tuchel or keep EricFrom the candidates so far, id take tuchel, then frank. The rest seem like dross.
He mentioned Southgate recently, and Southgate didn't exactly deny the rumours, so you never know. But generally yeah he talks rubbish when it comes to United.Shame Santi is a terrible source

Absolutely zero so far that I know of.Weirdly, my napolitan friend is telling me the Italian radio programmes are convinced Zidane is a done deal. I would be very surprised if that is the case though. Theres not been much chatter about him has there?
I guess he would take less adapting, he knows the club already, but does feel a bit soon for him. Agreed on the Ferguson point though, totally exceeded all expectations.Absolutely zero so far that I know of.
Kieran McKenna may be a dark horse choice to take the reigns though, as above. His tale of back to back promotions for Ipswich is Ferguson-esque.
Aside from the obvious that he wouldn't be interested ?why not Unai Emery?
I'd take him over any others.
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 good part of the season - add Toney’s ban and you’d have them as dead certain relegation fodder year they ended 9th with the lowest wage budget in the league in their second season.Kieran McKenna may be a dark horse choice to take the reigns though, as above.

Classic Ed Woodward. Tweeting about obvious stuffs other people can only dream of.So, he might leave, he might stay and if he leaves he might go anywhere. Thanks for that amazing scoop Ed.
I think getting Ipswich up was a bigger achievement honestly. I think it's underplayed quite how competitive the Championship is now - look at Leeds and Southampton's respective budget comparatively and the players they signed and the supposed value of the squads on transfermarkt:Would you rather have him than Frank?

Frank has shown that he can adapt to opposition while maintaining a clear and consistent style of play. I think the people finding him not “inspiring” should consider the cards he’s been dealt
Whoever joins needs to have the gravitas to control 24 senior players and their agents who are all capable of destabilising the clubI guess he would take less adapting, he knows the club already, but does feel a bit soon for him.

money talk. Whatever Villa offer him, we double it.Aside from the obvious that he wouldn't be interested ?
He's just signed a contract extension, he's not going anywhere this summer anyway.money talk. Whatever Villa offer him, we double it.
Emery has just signed a new contract, and is being set up with a lot of power at Villa where he is increasingly the one making the sporting decisions. Basically the opposite of what we are doing where we want to get away from the manager wielding a lot of power. I can't find any links so I'm not sure if it's true or not, but I remember somebody posting a couple of months ago that he's also involved in some business dealings with the Villa owners. Those owners are extremely rich themselves and seem to be eyeing turning Villa into a true powerhouse.money talk. Whatever Villa offer him, we double it.
