Quick Summary

Thomas Frank is expected to become the new manager of Crystal Palace following the dismissal of Oliver Glasner on Thursday. Palace currently sits at the bottom of the Premier League table after winning only two of their first 10 games and remaining winless in four matches. The report highlights Frank's successful history of stabilizing Brentford on a small budget as a contrast to his difficult tenure at Tottenham and the current struggles at Selhurst Park.
