Frank would be harder to get than Amorim according to a few journalists, not entirely sure why.

Of course I'd prefer to have Smith back to Dyche. I'd prefer Sherwood back to Dyche - if we're resigned to going down it might as well be comical rather than eye-clawingly hideous.

"Amorim's team use interchanging movements..."
Makes him sound like railway signalman.

If it did come to it, I'd rather have Dyche than Deano back tbh. Not that it will.

Just read on a Brentford forum they’re nervous about the links between Lange and Frank.
What links, Lange is FCK, Frank is Brøndby. Over being in the same city at the same time I doubt there's much if a connection.
That's the english simpleton view >foreigners...Yes worry> from same country...Yes more worry> even Danish...Yes conspiratorial> Yes they meet up every night to plot against everything that's good about English football whilst eating raw bacon.

Frank: "I understand why bookmakers have me as one of the favourites, because I'm a very good manager. I'm very happy at Brentford and have unfinished business."

Or maybe it's because they were both at Lyngby and shared an office there.

I agree with that. PL contracts are tougher to break with lot of compensation involved whereas  decent overseas coaches will walk over hot coals to get here. Not just for the regard of the League but also the welfare of their wallet.

Ha! Amorim has the most expensive but out clause for any manager in the world. As already pointed out today, I don't believe personal financial gain will be anywhere near the top of his list. Stop reading the Daily Express, Olaftab! ;)

The £2m we paid for McLeish is still in the top 30 fees paid for a manager in world football. So fees really aren't that high.

As an aside, what we paid for Action Man hair is the 12th highest.

That must be going back 10 years or more?

Ouch! As mentioned elsewhere third highest was 16 games under his belt Amorim from Braga to Sporting for €10m.
