Seeing as it looks like Man Utd are about to appoint the Sporting Lisbon manager, I hope Friedkin comes in soon and appoints Thomas Frank as our new manager.
The question many will ask is why would Frank come here rather than stay at Brentford?
There are two reasons: he will be paid considerably more here than at Brentford as well as being given more money to spend. The other reason is moving into a state-of-the-art new stadium with the backing of 50,000 Evertonians.
Frank has learnt his trade in starting with managing the Danish U16 then U18 teams. Went on to manage Brondby and did a good job there. Then came to Brentford as an assistant and when the then manager moved on they appointed Frank.
They were still in the Championship but very quickly he got them into the final play-off for promotion, which they lost. But he had them back qualifying for promotion to the Premier League.
The reasons to choose Frank: first, his teams play on the front foot regardless of the opposition. Guardiola commented that Brentford put Man City under more pressure at the Etihad than any other team in the league.
He is also a straight-talking manager so everybody is clear about his style and formation, which he isn’t afraid to change when needed.
