I dislike this side of football, the guy proved he could manage with what he did at Plymouth.

No doubt we’d get some fans calling for Corberan’s head if we went through a run of bad matches.

Corberan’s abilities are not in question now, if we lose ten on the spin Patel should back him completely and not wilt.

As long as Carlos wants to be with us we should back him.

What we should also do is to identify the biggest gem amongst Carlos’s assistants and have them earmarked as his successor should he leave.

Good plan. I would also say that If any money has to be splashed out it should be to keep Carlos’s contract sweet and competitive with any offers he gets. He’s happy here now with a brilliant set up.

For me mate, he’s the equivalent of Thomas Frank at Brentford.

Could you really envisage anyone else managing that superb little club?

I’m sure Frank has suitors but he has stability at Brentford, the whole thing just works.

That’s very difficult to find as a manager or club.

Frank has now been at that club 8 years, 6 as manager and 2 as assistant to nomark Dean Smith.

Smith’s career is pretty much a car crash since Brentford apart from “lucking out” against our inept management and getting Villa promoted.

Smith went from being the sort of fit that Frank now is at Brentford to now managing some shy te club in America.

Graham Potter had the perfect fit at Brighton and succumbed to greed.

Hopefully Carlos is our Thomas Frank.

It’s sad when managers can’t see what a good fit they are. Frank is as stable as Corberan and it works great for him and Brentford, as it does here for Corberan. I think of how well things were going for the current Celtic manager when he was manager of Swansea. He’s never looked comfortable since. (Much richer though)

Very interesting mate.

There seems to be more of the NFL affect coming into football, in the NFL there are long recognised “coaching trees” whereby just like racehorses, there’s a recognised bloodline amongst coaches.

I’m a big NFL fan, not an expert of course and it’s fascinating to see where head coaches started out and where they end up and the style of play that follows the bloodline.

Really does look like clubs are fancying our model doesn’t it?
