But we need quality players to progress and it takes serious money at this level.. can’t do this on a shoestring and expect to get anywhere near challenging for promotion Easier said than done, but I love the Brentford approach. Don't know if it's cost them lots of money https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7924507/Brentfords-maverick-methods-club-charge-Premier-League.html "Acquiring the league's top performers for big fees, loaning players from a super agent's stable and owners selling stadiums to themselves has all become a common occurrence in a league where clubs face a race against the financial fair play clock to reach the promised land. " But Brentford 'no d***head' policy when recruiting players hierarchy structure of two directors of sport in Phil Giles and Rasmus Ankersen, as well as owner Matthew Benham Bit like a moneyball approach a 'B team', made up of a handful of exciting 16-20 year olds that adopts a style of play, culture and training consistent with that of the first team. The B team works closely with the senior squad, meaning that Frank is confident in calling a player up if in need due to their exposure to the first-team environment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we’ve lost our big earners we’ve lost the goal threat one by one? Think we been unlucky as game time our big earners played?
