There is no way someone would be in charge for Brentford even if they have someone lined up, it's too soon.
Best case scenario is Danks in charge for Sunday and new manager announced on Monday
Worst case Danks in charge for foreseeable, and nobody lined up
The only thing preventing Poch IMO is the Juventus/Conte/Spurs situation. If Conte stays at Spurs and Juve go for someone else, he has nowhere else to go.
Same, they paid a lot of money for him, for an assistant coach. Missing pre-season didn't help and the best coach in the world would struggle to get Gerrard's system working.
Harsh. He hasn't been here long enough, missed pre-season, and was thrown into coaching Gerrard's shit system. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt unless the new manager wants rid.
Is Critchely one of Gerrard’s men? We paid quite a hefty compensation fee. And he’s only been here a few months. I think he’ll be given the benefit of the doubt.
I’m more concerned Frank wouldn’t be a good fit.
He’s a good coach, but Brentford have a very specific setup. There is no guarantee Frank would get the same performances out of his players in a different club. Huge risk.
Poch was passed over for United and Chelsea jobs. He’s not getting City, Liverpool or Arsenal jobs. And Unless Conte leaves Spurs he’s not going back there. His stint at PSG might show he can’t handle big names, so Real, Barca and Bayern will pass.
Newcastle aside, we’re the next club that can pay him a big salary. If he wants to come back to PL, it’s us or nobody.
Pretty much every everywhere reporting we are after Poch. This Lyric is sticking to his guns saying it’s not happening. Time will tell. Who’s taking the Brentford game?
