  1. I certainly think that he would want to look at some of our youth players in the coming weeks especially Bedeau. I would assume Pitarch does not have extensive knowledge on lower league talent so DS will hopefully discuss plans in scouting and sourcing lower league talent.
  2. Thomas Frank and the board are pretty much saying that he (Thomas Frank) played a major role in the development in Brentfords style in football on the training ground. Only time will tell. Can we just appreciate the first 21 seconds of this clip. Imagine in a few months starting a game like this.
  3. I am not sold on this guy as I have mentioned many times in this thread but we shall see. I am hoping that further appointments are made to help him fulfil his day to day work
  4. Very intelligent appointment. Appoint the man that helped introduce the profit & sustainability rules as CEO.
  5. How can we replicate Brentford’s system if we don’t know the full system and process? DS doesn’t even know the full process at Brentford. Also how do we even know if their way is successful?
  6. Dean Smith will have to be careful until the summer transfer window. There are huge influencers in the dressing room that may not be fit for Smiths style of play. Jedinak, Whelan, Taylor & Hutton. Those players command huge respect in the dressing room and Dean Smith needs those players on side so he can settle in. The moment Dean Smith decides to isolate them from the entire squad is the moment the whole players will turn against him and Terry. He needs to box clever and have those players on side until next summer.
  7. Dean Smith will be bringing his own staff too. I believe that would be Richard O Kelly as his 2nd assistant head coach as well as a few others. The compensation package must include some additional members of staff. Brentford have mentioned that they will make a further announcement on their first team football structure.
  8. Oh boi.. I will back him but i remain skeptical. He loves this club and for me i know that he will do everything he can regardless of whats in his way.
  9. You asked me several questions. I gave you answers I did not realise that it was a defence.. Anywhoo you have your opinion I have mine.. thats it My opinion is that he will not get us promoted this season even with his backroom staff.
  10. He has the final decision on picking the team but it is discussed with who two other assistants and head of analytics. Tactics - Rasmus Ankersen & Phil Giles know how they want Brentford to play, they have put necessary staff in place to help assist Dean Smith on the training field. Adapted tactics.. Well a lot of Brentford Fans have been critical of his decision making whilst the game is being played Mentored players - I think he helps keeps the Morale up.
  11. Brentford have two DOFS a technical director and two assistant managers. Brentford have influences from a football perspective We have a Spaniard Sporting director that looks for deals.. For me at the moment our set up looks short term. DS would need to have a word with Purslow and tell him how the set up should be.
  12. In the past i have posted my opinion of DS and it hasn't been complimentary. The only way I could 100% feel comfortable behind his appointment is IF he and Purslow have a real footballing discussion on how he works best and what he needs to help him fulfil that. We spend so much money on players but very little on infrastructure. DS knows the process Brentford if he can somehow try to replicate that structure I will back him. However I am not convinced that the board care about setting up an intelligent football structure at this club. I think they want to go up the Wolves way this season and have not thought about us not being promoted next season and struggling. Thats just my opinion and I don't expect anyone to share the same view as mine.
  13. I will drop some links; http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/3277/la-liga/2017/01/06/31221842/valencia-have-bought-s-players?ICID=TP_HN_HP_RI_1_2 https://thesefootballtimes.co/2018/09/03/the-decline-of-real-zaragoza-a-club-once-lifting-trophies-amongst-laligas-elite/ http://www.marca.com/en/football/spanish-football/2017/02/07/5899e0e4268e3e49398b45f6.html
  14. Well he has influenced our CEO to appoint the most influential figure at this club. It is concerning, because Mendes advice is now pretty much gospel in the football world which is bad. A football agent should not have that much influence over a football club he knows very little about. I am disappointed in the owners that have allowed this to happen. It probably also highlights the vision & understanding that Purslow actually has for this football club which also disappointing because i was a huge supporter of his arrival. But hey.. I will hope for the best.
  15. Mendes seems to be having a big influence at this club with this appointment. I am worried because I read a few articles about him and most of his jobs have not lasted for more than a year. Pitarch is not the modern day sporting director that uses analysis and creates a proper scouting in fracture in sourcing players. He has an outdated approach.. I am more concerned with the owners because it does not appear that they are attempting of laying any type of long term foundations at this club. They are going to try and throw money at everything and it does not work like that. I just hope that he is part of an extensive structure that involves a technical director also.
  16. This is becoming interesting. I don't think we will appoint Rodgers, he won't fancy this job mid season. - Has to achieve promotion before having a huge transfer budget - If he doesn't get promoted he will have to deal with FFP & Restrictions - If he had a pre-season he would be confident in getting us promoted however a job like this in mid October will be difficult I think it's between Dean Smith & Rui Faria Dean Smith would instantly take on this job and have JT as part of his staff. I do not fancy this appointment however; It appears that we are going to build some structure where the new sporting director will be sourcing players and the Head coach's role is to make them fit. The worrying thing is that the sporting director has been shit at his job for the past few years.
  17. There are emerging reports that Henry is not keen on this job.
  18. He cannot become manager because he does not have the qualifications.
  19. As I have posted in the other thread. I think he will be first team coach working on our defensive shape and structure. Henry will bring in his own assistant imo.
  20. Very good post. It would be interesting if he will save the most advance type of tactics/coaching for better quality players. I can see him simplifying things to a certain degree. One thing that is encouraging is that he has worked with Roberto Martinez who for me transformed Swansea City in how they play. I cannot see Terry being his number 2 btw. Terry would be part of the coaching staff.
