THOMAS FRANK is planning to give his Brentford players Christmas off.<\/strong><\/p>\n Manchester City\u2019s trip to the Club World Cup has effectively given the Bees a bonus winter break because they will not play for ten days.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Boss Frank believes his team \u2014 flying after three Premier League wins in a row \u2014 should be rewarded with a couple of two-day breaks, which is normally unheard of at this intense stage of the season.<\/p>\n Brentford were due to visit City on December 23 but that has been postponed due to the champions\u2019 trip to Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n After facing Aston Villa on December 17, Brentford\u2019s next game is against Wolves on December 27 \u2014 also at the Gtech Community Stadium \u2014 so Frank is considering shutting the training ground on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.<\/p>\n Not that it takes much to annoy Wolves boss Gary O\u2019Neil, but he is likely to be even angrier as his team must play Chelsea on Christmas Eve.<\/p>\nREAD MORE IN FOOTBALL<\/h2>\n
