Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

Yeah, I find the “look how well Brentford are doing now without him” to be very disrespectful. He did an incredible job there to get them up and keep them in the league. Andrews, so far, has been impressive but he has been able to build on the platform that Frank played a huge part in putting in place.

The job here was too big for him IMO. A really poor appointment which calls in to question, very seriously, the judgement of those who appointed him and retained him especially given the “30 point list” or whatever it was that they based the appointment on.

As Poch said this week, in football there are some things that data and stats cannot measure or quantify and that’s what keeps some of the beauty and mystery around the game. Our decision makers clearly didn’t think that was relevant or factor it into their decision making.
I think the way to add to that would be. We know for certain the job TF did when he joined Brentford, we don’t know what Andrew’s would do if he started at the same start point.

But countering that, he’s done a magnificent job considering the players that have left and the cloud that was Wissa sulking during the whole summer bringing down morale.

And just to tell you how bad brick I am, I don’t think you can compare the two

It'll go down as the worst appointment in our modern history. Nuno was bad but he was what was leftover and moved on nice and quickly. Thomas Frank was apparently the end result of a fairly intensive process and someone who matched their criteria. What the fudge was the criteria? It was very clear he was never going to work. He didn't have what it would take to walk into a dressing room that's just been through a disaster of a season yet still won a European trophy.

And so, so many people on here just didn't get it either. None of that mattered, all we needed was a pragmatist.

That Lange wanted somebody he could go out for dinner with and speak in his native tongue?
