"Clearly the Tottenham job was just not the right fit for Frank, but one imagines he might fare better at Selhurst Park. The expectations at Brentford and Spurs are very different, but Frank might be more suited to the kind of environment he'd find himself in if he were to take the Palace job. Admittedly, Glasner won't be an easy act to follow after the fine work he's done there, but it's easy to see why the club might view Frank as a strong candidate."
"Frank worked with limited resources at Brentford and got the most out of players who weren't the biggest names or most expensive signings. Given that Palace lost Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi in the last two transfer windows, and could yet face interest in other key players like Adam Wharton and Jean-Philippe Mateta, then Frank could be just the man to steady the ship and help the club cope without those big names."
Thomas Frank has been dismissed from Tottenham after a difficult spell, having previously impressed as Brentford manager. Crystal Palace will lose Oliver Glasner at the end of the season after Glasner confirmed he will not sign a new contract. Palace plan to approach Frank for managerial talks as a potential replacement. Frank has a record of maximizing limited resources and improving squads without marquee signings. Palace have already lost Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi and may face interest in Adam Wharton and Jean-Philippe Mateta. Frank could provide stability and rebuild the side amid those departures.
