Reply | Promotion to the Premier League is tough.But is survival effectively impossible?
at 17:23 31 Dec 2024
Don’t get that clubs like Brentford “Lucked out” what do you mean?Think a club of your size that has a much bigger fan base and achieved far more in terms of success in my life time should say if they can do it why can’t we.There was no luck in finding lower league players and developing them and then having the balls to sell them on for big profits almost every season but still progressed.
Matthew Benham hasn’t put any money into the club since 2018 and everything has been financed by sales of players before we got to the PL and then had the influx of around 140 mill per season from tv money which dispite having one of the lowest wage bills in the PL it’s still a frightening 90 mill per season.That still puts a big dent into that income.
I would also add that Brentford voted for more money to go to the EFL one of only 3 other clubs although stand to be corrected.Yes I never forgot where we came from from I’ve watched more shit than you could dream of in the lower leagues for 50 odd years but still look back at those days with so many happy memories. |

On your last point you are spot on last season mainly due to so many injuries we were struggling but due to the poor promoted sides not getting over 26 point we were comfortable on 39.Think this will continue over the coming seasons as the gap gets wider between the leagues and to be honest it’s getting boring,Next season I doubt if I do many away games and go to local non league.
Apart from the to 6 or 7 sides the premier league is a pretty dire experience for fans although the stupid kick off times are creeping into the championship. |

The joys of the championship,you are looking down then before you know it you are looking up.Teams in mid table have every chance of playoffs this season no really outstanding teams. |

Warburton had 2 stints as DoF at Brentford and couldn’t wait to manage and threw his toys out the pram when Rosler got the managers job ahead of him and he remained as DoF.He also turned down the opportunity to follow Rosler to Wigan as DoF and stayed on to manage Brentford.He wants to have complete control and is never content until he has.No surprise that he hasn’t had another managers job since leaving QPR. |

Very divisive man his best days were at Brentford where he tried to take on a very astute owner. |

I use Twitter but only on following stream as it has become a sewer for so many twisted people to spew their sickening opinions.I don’t think it carries as much influence as it’s given credit for nor does MSM as shown over in the States with most networks backing Harris. If anything I don’t like finds its way to me I just block it |

If you have had enough and leave before final whistle there are plenty of cabs waiting across the road from Macdonalds on the road back to station. |
