Sam: “He has done a fantastic job [at Brentford], because it was a club that survived on selling their best players. I think the trouble is, he's not tippy tappy, so is anybody going to give him a top job?
“Supposedly, he doesn't suit the ethos of what the football's supposed to be played like today, which is nonsense. He creates a style of play that could win any game, anytime, anywhere, and even more so now, because nobody else does it.
“Whenever Man City centre halves came across Ivan Toney, they didn’t have a clue what to do. Obviously not this season, but the season before, [Brentford] won [against City], and they won comfortably, and this season, they still caused them a few problems.
“I do find it a little tongue in cheek with Pep. He doesn’t say ‘I’ve admired him’ when he's lost, but he'll say it when he's won. And I think that, while I’d take that as a compliment, I'd be doing it with a tongue in cheek if I were Thomas Frank. But he [Frank] does deserve a top job.”
Michael: “No disrespect to Brentford, but he [Frank] could certainly work at a better club. You don't want managers [Erik ten Hag] to lose their jobs, but anybody would sit here and say exactly the same thing as me. Is he a perfect fit for Man United? I'm not sure who is at the minute.”
