Frank who finished just above the relegation zone last season after taking Brentford backwards? Who plays direct long ball football and scouting network extends to the championship and Denmark?

I actually quite like him but he’d be eaten alive by this place. Brentford can be really really bad.

I know Dyche beat him 2 times last year and won 4/5 vs him.

Don't forget they had one of the worst injury records in the whole league apart from missing their most important player for the majority of the season, who is gone completely now.

I am sure they will play a better season this time and finish mid-table, did a good job on the market.
 
Is he actually good? What do you like about him? What frustrates you the most about him?
The playing out from the back but that's what these young Continental Managers strive to do. Just means a few scary moments between keepers and defenders.

In his favour he seems to turn mediocre players into hardworking productive players.
Also the way he always makes full use of his 5 subs whether we winning or loosing he sees the team as a 16 man team and willing to mix things up.

Could you at least bear losing him to Everton? I know it hurts as much as when we lost Valverde at Bilbao to Barcelona.
 
I’m not sure he’d want to make the step down to be honest 😄

I would be very surprised if he would leave now, he got a decent chairman and new DOF so would probably want to stay and do all he can to achieve promotion.

As I said, atm Everton is a shark tank for almost any manager.

You can convince managers with the long term development and maybe overpaying managers.

We’re still an attractive club to be at particularly with the new stadium etc, and the prospect of new ownership, but, sometimes we don’t need Mr Right, we need Mr RightNow, and I think that may be the issue when it comes to quality candidates

Yeah, basically, short term I say in the next 2-3 years jobs like Palace or Fulham are probably more attractive, if you want to work at a stable environment. Lower risk to take a job there.

But it's what I mean long-term Everton has the far better potential to become top half or play European football back to back. It's the point we got to convince any candidate.

Everton is a project that will take a few years, and this needs a good ownership and management combined with good work of a manager.

I’ve got to say mate, I’m not sure that potential gap is there any more with the income generated from TV. When we were in top half / top 5 etc we rarely played regular European football then (admittedly back then with fewer European places) so we’ve never been overly prolific even then, when we were a bigger fish relatively speaking. I think Everton, for the trophies we have won, and for our proud history has to be one of, if not the biggest underperforming clubs.

It's harder now for sure the gap between the top 6 and the rest gets bigger and bigger and to keep up it's a stadium we get and need that gives another few 10m a season. This should have happened 10y back, but now due to mismanagement Everton has been thrown back even more.

It's big club under performing. I wish Everton to see fighting for titles again, but knowing that 5-6 clubs will always be there, I say this club must be in the top 8-10 every time.

Faced it on my own, as Bilbao Everton was had the hightime in the 80s, and we won a title after 40y, we always been close by losing 7 finals in the meantime.
