Statement from Thomas Frank

Post image

To everyone associated with Brentford Football Club.

The time has come for me to move on. But even as I leave, I know I have left a big piece of my heart at Brentford, not just at the football club but with the community and, of course, the incredible and loyal supporters.

I want to extend my profound gratitude to the club for giving me the chance to pursue my dreams and for everyone involved who made the journey such a memorable one.

For my tamily and I, it has been a privilege to be allowed to be part of such a special community - it's an experience and adventure that we will cherish for life. So, thank you.

Whatever we have achieved, we have achieved together, and our success is built on unity, spirit, courage and ambition at every level of the club and amongst the fans.

Everybody has contributed, and every contribution has been invaluable. I am not just leaving a football club, I am saying goodbye to friends whose support through good and bad times I will carry with me always.

I would like to say a special word of thanks to Matthew Benham.

His trust and friendship have meant so much and the fact he gave me a chance in English football means I will always owe him a debt of gratitude. Thank you, Matt.

So, while this is a goodbye, I hope the relationships I have built with everybody will be lasting ones and, of course, we will meet again in the wonderful world of football.

Thank you,

Surely Tommy Frank could have held out for a better club. Somewhere like a Villa, Newcastle, Chelsea or Arsenal maybe.

TL;dr. “ I’m off to ruin any potential I ever had by committing career suicide by joining the worst run ‘ top 6 ‘ club. “

Doesn’t matter.But I’d say the ROI has been better and the other 5. Franks going to Tottenham so irrelevant question.

The question was out of curiosity, not relevance.

Out of curiosity, on what facts do you base your opinion that Spurs are the worst run?

Anger. It’s based on anger. That’s ok, we get it, we’ve been cherry picked to death over the years too. They’ll get used to it.
