'It’s not often that we as head coaches or managers can bring the good news.'
Thomas Frank hailed Gareth Southgate’s classy touch of allowing the Brentford manager to break the news to Ivan Toney that he had made the England squad.
“It’s a lot of time that we’re having to be hard on them, that maybe they are not playing. It’s so rare to be able to be completely positive. “He’s a very confident guy and the journey has definitely not been straightforward for him. I know he dreamt about being an England international since he was a kid.Toney came through Northampton’s set-up before making the move to Newcastle, but after six loan stints in three years he moved on.
“It’s up to Gareth Southgate of course, but if I were putting together a squad I would pick him,” said Frank. “I think this is also a much bigger moment for Brentford than people understand, especially if you’ve been here for a long time.
