How on earth have Spurs managed to lure Frank away from Brentford? Admittedly I dont know the background goings on at Spurs, but Brentford were a club on the up. Frank sold well and bought well and seemed to have carte blanche from the owners and was adored by the fans.
Why on earth have Man Utd, who have problems enough of their owned signed the ill disciplined thug that is Cunha? A player from the back streets of Brazil where they'd kill their granny to win at scrabble, is how he was described on one pod I listen to

At a guess:
a) money
b) desperation

With a ground capacity of just over 17,000 Brentford will never be able to sign big names and will probably have to rely on the academy or loan players. With that in mind Frank possibly thinks that he has taken them as far as they can go and wants a new challenge. Spurs certainly will be a challenge!
Cunha and Man U - apart from their fans who cares? The club needs a player / manager clear-out before getting more dross in.

I honestly don’t know much about Cunha. I despise Wolves, living where we do and being surrounded by their supporters, so only watch them if they’re playing us.
As for Frank, I expect he just needs a new challenge, and he’ll certainly have that.
Btw we have a new neighbour who is a Wolves season ticket holder but is also a lifelong Spurs supporter. Saw him the other day in a Spurs shirt and a Wolves cap. Can’t get my head around it.
I refer to him as the Spulves supporter two doors down.

Frank has done very well at Brentford; I hope we can do as well.
I get that he would like to do well at a bigger club, but Spurs? The graveyard of managers?
Good luck to him, he will need it.
Cunha is a good player but he does have discipliniary "issues". Man U's biggest problem going forward is the horrendous amount of money they have spent on players who aren't up to it.
