Andrews 'in perfect position to do a really good job'

Brentford fan Daniel Topping from The Ealing Road Podcast says he remains excited for the new season despite there being some external worry around the Bees' summer activity. On paper, losing your manager, captain and star player is a reason to panic, but Topping believes you "have to trust the club" and "the process". "It is clearly a big job for Keith Andrews," he told BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club.

Brentford fan Daniel Topping from The Ealing Road Podcast says he remains excited for the new season despite there being some external worry around the Bees' summer activity.

On paper, losing your manager, captain and star player is a reason to panic, but Topping believes you "have to trust the club" and "the process".

"It is clearly a big job for Keith Andrews," he told BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club. "We have never finished a Premier League weekend in the relegation zone over the past four years so it is important we start well this season.

"Andrews doesn't have the credit in the bank like other bigger-named managers might have done if they had come in, but I trust the club. I have to trust the process.

"The thing about Brentford, and what other coaches might start to see now, is that if you are a young coach at the top level, and want to progress, then Brentford is a good place to come and do that.

"Frank had a limited amount of coaching experience in Denmark before coming to us as assistant-coach but he helped drive the culture.

"The club want to keep that and Andrews is clearly respected by those at the club, so he is in the perfect position to do a really good job with the support he has around him."
