“Maybe someone hears a song of yours and goes this song is going to be in my life forever. That is what the joy is.” GIRL YOUR WHOLE DISCOGRAPHY IS THAT FOR ME 😭

Let me tell you something I am sure you didnt know about Brentford. They have not sacked a coach in the last 11 years and their last 4 coaches have been internally recruited. Do you doubt me? Here you go 1) Lee Carsley (interim, September–November 2015) — Stepped up from managing the Development Squad to steady the ship after Marinus Dijkhuizen's sacking; his brief caretaker stint paved the way for a more permanent internal shift, embodying Brentford's preference for promoting from within rather than panicking with outsiders. 2) Dean Smith (November 2015–October 2018) — was promoted after Carsley's interim role; he delivered three consecutive top-10 Championship finishes, building a foundation of stability before leaving for Aston Villa. Of course, this is yet another example of Brentford trusting club insiders over external hires. 3) Thomas Frank (October 2018–June 2025) — Elevated from assistant head coach under Smith; he masterminded Brentford's long-awaited promotion to the Premier League in 2021 via the play-off final, then kept them competitive in the top flight for years—proving internal promotions can lead to sustained success. 4) Keith Andrews (June 2025–present) — The latest in the chain: promoted from set-piece coach (joined July 2024) after Frank's move to Tottenham; with no prior head coach experience, his seamless transition keeps the data-driven culture intact, making Brentford's last four head coaches. This internal recruitment strategy extends beyond coaching to the entire club structure, making Brentford one of the best-run in the world. Owner Matthew Benham's data-driven philosophy—scouting 85,000+ players globally, narrowing to undervalued gems via a rigorous seven-stage process—ensures buys are low, sells high, and fits tactical needs perfectly. Coaches like Frank (and now Andrews) are deeply involved in final decisions, blending analytics with on-pitch insight for seamless integration.Promoting from within minimizes disruption: Andrews already knew the philosophy, players, and culture after a year as set-piece specialist. This continuity; avoiding rebuilds that plague bigger clubs; fuels consistent overperformance on modest budgets. When utilised properly, such recruitment isn't just efficient; it's a competitive edge that turns mid-table minnows into sustained threats, proving brains beat big spending every time. In my books, they are one of the best run clubs in the world.

ABSOLUTE LIMBS! 😮‍💨🐰

Jurgen Klopp’s advice for coaches on how to effectively communicate with players 👀 🎥: Jurgen Klopp

I love the way Kompany still plays as a defender in training. And when his opponent, Bischof, stole the ball from him he was frustrated but then also applauded him and told him to go ahead. That is a really cool manager man

DERBY DAY DELIGHT! 😆

@WolvesWomen come onnnn !!

We lead the break! ⏱️🐺

LOIS JOEL, THAT IS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!! 🚀 [1-0] 11'

FULL-TIME: Isobel Goodwin scores twice as London City Lionesses get their first win of the season! 👏

Chloe Kelly's penalties are iconic 😏 When England couldn't afford to miss, she kept her cool 👌

A history-making moment. ✨ Wales have their first goal in a major tournament! 🐉

The Welsh FA are fast becoming world leaders in producing elite coaches with the likes of Mikel Arteta, Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira being just some of many illustrious products of the FAW’s coaching system ⚽ #BBCFootball

Emily Murphy’s first goal in Green, and what a time to get it 🤩

Sareet Kaur Binning is the first Sikh baller to captain England at any level. Led the U16s out against France at the Montaigu tournament. South Asian representation remains shockingly low in English football. But moments like this serve as a massive inspiration.

@isobel_g08 @g5davies @nicanderson27 @FAWCoachEd @albickerstaff you’re brilliant
