Ok I’ll bite… A) I rate Thomas Frank as a manager,better than Hasenhüttle B) because Brentford will be in our region of the table come the end of the season in my opinion. the reason being for that is,not because Frank is a poorer manager than Hasenhüttle ,but because of lack of players experience and calibre in the Premier league. give Frank the tools and I believe he would be a shrewd acquisition for us in the future. actually…right now if it were possible. off you go with your usual mundane pedantic rhetoric.

The Cat Posted 13 August, 2021 Share Posted 13 August, 2021 Brentford have some good players. I wonder if their forum had posters moaning they were all hipster signings because they hadn't heard of half of them? They've even got a chap from Dulwich Hamlet whose fans I imagine ride to the ground on penny farthings after having their handlebar moustaches styled at an achingly cool East London barbers.
