The Frank and Cooper show. 16:57 - Jan 28 with 452 views

Mr Frank developed his footballing philosphy in the Danish national coaching set up a few years back to reasonable sucess. As Wales knows it is not easy with limited numbers for each age batch. Cooper got his spurs with the England u17 group to massive success. A similar career trajectory for both.

Frank and Cooper's first jobs were at the high level of Championship where some of the big beasts roam freely some having done the hard running yards in Canton. Thes dinasaurs cut and run andgenerally leave their clubs worse off after their departure.

Mr Frank has all the credentials of a 'Jeninista' manager. I believe has would have been a very suitable pick for Swansea. Frank after last year's kerfuffle has some nice words for Swansea and could one day, after being sacked in the Premier league, be heading west in my opinion. It a natural fit. His generousity may recognise the Swansea DNA matches his own.

So what about Cooper? Cooper on paper is currently more successful than Frank playing a more defensivvely oriented direct style when required. Higher in the league and in the FA cup. The Brentford game suggests Swansea will not be very competitive against Man city and will do well to match Cheltenam. Will Swansea get 25% possession v Man city and fail to create chances? This is Paul Clement Carlos Carlvalhal football.

The club structure with regard to recruitment is heading down the same route as Brentford. Both clubs has similar limited fan capacity. Cooper has been in post for at least one full season less and did not have the early difficulties Frank has in his early days. I recall Swansea going 3-0 up at Brentford in 20 minutes 3 boxing days ago.

The question is where is the club heading philosophy wise?. Is Cooper going to be playing Frank's possession game 18 months down the line.? As the wins have rolled in Cooper has stated that the club could not play its 'natural game' due to conditions and schedule. That they could not play their natural games against Brentford on the newly laid pitch with rested players is a natural concern.

The club have to give Cooper time to develop his methodology and the odd bad performance can be expected. Fans would be happy with him if there was month on month progression to the goal of Brendan or Laudrup styles. The dismissal of in form Cardiff at Canton indicated this. It was noted that Brendan praised Frank to the hills . The fusion of a 'Brendan' possession game with Coopers defensive nous sounds like a wining formula.
