We asked for your views on Keith Andrews extending his stint as Brentford's head coach until 2032.

Here are some of your comments:

Ruby: It's crazy that we thought that with Thomas Frank we reached our ceiling but this season Keith Andrews has taken us above and beyond anything we could have dreamed of when we arrived in the Premier League. Absolutely amazing job, thank you. Come on you bees!

David: Great news for all fans as he gains more experience in the Premier League. The club will move forward as a fantastically-run club.

Gavin: As ever a shrewd bit of business. Andrews' success has obviously not gone unnoticed elsewhere. In the event of him being poached by bigger clubs in the near future Brentford will get some renumeration. On the whole he has been exceptional, seemingly learning from his mistakes and hopefully taking the club to new heights. Congratulations Keith you've earned your stripes.

Graham: Love Keith - he's done everything right and has a fantastically down to earth and relentless spirit. That said, the success of the club is much more to do with the club than any one person.

Keith: It's been a fantastic first two-thirds of the season and Keith Andrews has to take a lot of responsibility for that. I would've waited until the end of the season to give him a new contract

Barry: Something tells me Keith won't last as long as Thomas Frank at Brentford. But, as ever, we trust in Benham, Giles and co. I suspect we will make money from this deal when Andrews moves on to another club in the future, rather than costing us from an early termination. It also projects positivity and is another lesson that other Premier League clubs will want to copy (but probably won't).

Paul: While Andrews is doing a tremendous job, it does seem a very long contract. God forbid if results next season do not go to plan it'll be very expensive to lay him off.
