I think before you can judge too much, how much did Frank get to spend at Brentford? Not too much I suspect. Certainly a fair chunk less than Spurs

How much have Fulham and Bournemouth spent tho? That's what I'd be looking at
 


Performance

Id be after him or the Fulham manager .. not the manager who's 1 point above their current

When does a season have 65 games ?

Brentford didn’t have a great season 23/24 but did well last season , finishing on the same points as the Bournemouth manager and above the Fulham manager

Brentford also that season had to deal with losing their best player for half the season

And spurs lost kane..

As explained yesterday the 66 games was because it is for after Ange first 10 games in which he did outstanding but then fell off a cliff. Since then his form has only been better than sides that went down and wolves

Then when you study the table you see Frank's team 1 point above

As opposed to Bournemouth and Fulham

Frank is an average manager , spurs need better than him

They should be asking Fulham how much for Silva

Or even the palace manager .. much higher win rate and won the fa cup with palace after losing one their best players

All it shows is that stats can be manipulated on multiple ways

Brentford finished this season on the same points as Bournemouth, they finished above Fulham , they also finished above Palace

They finished nearly 20 points clear of Spurs this season

66 games ? Silly

Brentford for a team with limited resources have finished 9th and 10th in two of the last three seasons
 
How much have Fulham and Bournemouth spent tho? That's what I'd be looking at
Fulham spent €92m, €73m, €76m in the last 3 seasons

Bournemouth spent €135m, €127m, €83m

Brentford spent €98m, €72m, €45m

Spurs spent €175m, €252, €180m

Note, values are in Euros and also doesn't take into account sales. (Transfer market com, think it's a German site)

I'd say Frank has done pretty well for Brentford looking at those numbers.

What about palace? Id say out of all of them palace are leagues apart

Jesus h.. I've explained why it's 66 if you don't understand that's on you mate

I do understand it , I think it’s poor attempt to manipulate stats and doesn’t show a full picture

Prefer to use more relevant facts - season upon season performance and mainly the current season

Spurs will be looking at the manager who has helped Brentford to battle close to a European place this season at the same time as playing good football

Palace, €92m, €68m, €46m.

Glasner has done an excellent job.

To be fair, all of those managers of those teams, spurs excepted 🤣, have done a good job. Any of them could have been relegated but all are mid table, playing good football. They are fulfilling their brief each year.

Luckily it's just your opinion, which counts for squat

Yep they have done well

Silva is the one that’s been around for a little longer than others - prob should have been given a little longer at Everton

The other clubs have bounced up and down in the Prem but getting Brentford into the Prem and staying strong there is excellent

Will be interesting to see how Bournemouth do when they have lost a couple of key players this summer

About as well as they did last summer losing solanke you mean.

Palace may have finished below Brentford but they switched off and focused on the cup

Paul, every persons' opinion counts for exactly the same as someone else's.
If he winds you up that much, just ignore him as some others do.
Please don't ruin an otherwise interesting debate by getting overly frustrated.

I think they will do OK. They have Senesi ready to replace Huijsen, bought Soler in January ready to replace Kerkez. I think Semenyo would be a big loss for them though. The unsung heroes at Bournemouth are Kluivert and Christie, hang on to those two and build around them.
