That's the route I hoped we would take but when the chance of promotion came along so quick he went for it derailing the option for a evolution plan by following it up by going for all out promotion the following season.

How do you define ‘baying for the PL’? It’s been more hope than expectation from me. And no manager has ever been sacked or given a hard time from the fans because they didn’t get us up. Apart from two years we’ve never been close. And even in those two years the odds were never in our favour to go up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with some sort of spending restrictions but it seems a very blunt tool at the moment. Not taking in to account that different clubs have different needs.

We were never odds on to go up. Hull had a better side than us... they had a lot of premier league experience, Andy Robertson at left back and Harry Maguire was on the bench for them not even getting a game. The second year was a great opportunity with how the play offs opened up but we’d not been convincing for the majority of that season so it wasn’t just a case of not turning up against Huddersfield. To use the phrase ‘should have gone up’, I think that a team should have spent a large part of the season in the top 2 which we never did because we were never one of the best 2 or 3 sides in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Its surprises me that there is still an ongoing debate. The following data is a perfect example of why we have declined massively as a squad. Why we haven't finished declining and why we have a hell of job in rebuiliding a squad against a backdrop of embargos. Now some fans will complain about FFP and tell us that Chansiri has all the money in the world and would happily spend it if evil FFP wasn't in the way but most can now see through that. Most clubs have traded their way through this. Many have aspired to reinvest in talent with future potential. Many have realised the market potential and ridiculous transfer fees that they can reap if a player proves to be a success. Not only that but many have a structure within their club that allows for growth, sustainability and the potential for success without putting themselves in an embargo situation that in my opinion can put teams in negative momentum for 3-5 years minimum. When people use the argument that Brentford haven't gone up yet or that Brentford will mess it up. Well historically they are batting well above their average. They have a secure medium to long term future and they are consistently making money for their club which has allowed them to upscale their facilities and grow their brand. For many fans the growth of the club seems insignificiant as they elect to ignore our decrepid facilities, archaic megastore and culling of future fans and POTG potential through short term strategies. I could go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average attendance figures pre Chansiri suggest not... Plus the season ticket figures you've quoted are in line with the 10 year season ticket.
