I really hope Andrews gets the Brentford job (he won't), because, well it would be a laugh

Might mean Brentford go down instead of........ 😒

world class pointer is keith,they won`t be short on instructions and how to do it

I now realise  why he used to stand in the middle of Ewood pointing to where his team mates should put the ball.  It was all practice for becoming a manager.

Risky move by Brentford, they will be in a relegation battle next season and 'Shirley' will be gone by the New Year.

I’ve always had a bit of sympathy for for Andrews. Just promoted from league two and plucked by Ince for the Premier League. If we did that now we’d be skeptical. The weird thing was that he ended up playing over 30 times in two consecutive seasons.

I imagine he was a bang average Championship midfielder who we were putting up against Gerrard and Lampard.

he did`nt help himself or endear himself to the fans because he tried to be something he was`nt,definately had an inflated opinion of his own ability,to many ambitious passes,dribbles and the never ending pointing to his team mates,don`t know if it was bad management or just his attitude,if he`d just stuck to doing simple stuff on the pitch,he would`nt have had the crowd on his back so often,he used to get absolute pelters from the blackburn end

I see Kerkaz has signed for Liverpool. I think that means Beck will be available again.

Wrexham would seem a more likely opportunity for Beck. Loan him this season, buy him next season if he is a success

He was never making Liverpool first team squad and Rangers now in for him

Because he was an average player at the Rovers, has no bearing what-so-ever on his abilities as a coach.

I guess it's another case of He Who Pays The Piper but for me it's just another America like gimmick. The Sky generation will probably lap it up but for me as a traditionalist it's awful.

could be epic telly,especially if the manager hauls them off early,i know it says there will be a cooling off period but some footballers will still lose it completely,given the fact someone is shoving a microphone under their nose☺️

Be a shame if fans were to start swearing loudly during the interviews…

Ha, ha, ha - god forbid he play's the team like he did for us!

[simongarnerisgod]

soon as the promotion and relegation odds come out,im`e putting brentford in my acca,if they lose a few key players,it`s goodnight from them with keith the pointer in charge

[Rogerb]

Brentford look likely to lose norgaard and mbeuno key players for them. Rookey manager looks like an ince situation.

[DE.]

It'll certainly be interesting to see how old Keith does at Brentford. It'll look like a monumentally stupid decision if they go down, as they're in a position now where they'd be attractive to a range of decent, experienced managers. If they stay up and have an OK season then fair enough, it'll vindicate a process which - to be fair to them - has worked really well so far.

Standard practice in America sports and the PL is appealing more to the fans over there and don't forget that NBC Sports in America covers PL over there. NBC's owners Comcast owned Sky aswell

He need a good experience staff around him and a number 2 who is align with him. 

[roversfan99]

Those new interviews and the access allowed again is ridiculous. Americanised bollocks. Get in the bin.

[chaddyrovers]

Well I take it you don't follow any US sports then? 

[roversfan99]

No, but it's irrelevant to my point that the proposed changes are dreadful.

[superniko]

Brentford and Matthew Benham don’t often get things wrong but this certainly feels like a strange one. I’d be surprised if they don’t regress now.
