EXTRA TIME
Thomas Frank has quit as Brondby coach after the Danish club's owner criticized him online... using his SON'S internet pseudonym.

Local media report that Brondby's chairman and major shareholder, Jan Bech Andersen, logged into fan forum SydSiden Online to post negative comments about the manager. Andersen has since been sacked.

"It is no secret that the relationship between Jan and me has been strained from time to time, and after the last days of massive media attention, he and I had a talk," he told reporters.
