The book released by Thomas Frank in Denmark this week did remind us he was very recently a man in great demand, squeezing meetings with Chelsea and Manchester United inside one day in May 2024.
Chelsea's search was down to the final two and Frank's publication entitled without his usual modesty 'Diary from the Premier League: The Story of Denmark's Greatest Coach' reveals his readiness to accept the job at Stamford Bridge had it been offered to him not Enzo Maresca.
United won the FA Cup the day after their people met Frank in Jim Radcliffe's garage and decided to keep faith in Erik ten Hag.
