In that time Brentford have become one of the best sides in the league and reached the play off final. You’d imagine a lot of their players will have been given new contracts on significantly more money on the back of it as there was PL interest in a lot of their players, not just Watkins and Benrahma. Much like what happened to us in 2016. So I think that Brentford wage bill is likely to be quite a bit higher than the 2018/19 figure. In the same timeframe we’ve lost Hooper, Boyd, Matias, Pudil, Abdi, Jones, Hector, Aarons, Lazaar, Onomah, Fletcher, Forestieri, Hutchinson, Fox, Lee, Nuhui. Off the top of my head, probably a few more too. And the players we’ve brought in will be on max £15k a week and likely a lot less. I’d think our wage bill will have dropped loads from £42m Just because that's what we do why would you think Brentford would do the same? The way they go about things is literally the exact opposite to us. Any player kicking up a fuss about new player wages like ff etc would be straight out of the door. Youre deluded if you think our wage bill is lower than theirs when we have the likes of Rhodes and KW on over 1.5m a year for not even playing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Brentford don’t give pay rises then their players will become unhappy with Prem clubs after them. It’s just a pressure that comes with being successful at this level. I can’t see how their wage bill won’t have increased over the past two seasons. I agree they’re better run than us so that increase won’t have been as bad as what we saw in 2016, but it will still be higher none the less. Anyway, if we’re looking at the 2021/22 season KW, TL, BB, AR and JR will have all left or be on much less money so the wage bill will be even lower. That £42m will be down to £15-20m i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost of building the new stadium isn't mentioned in their accounts, only the profit they get selling their current ground. The executive summary in their accounts states that the only way the club can remain financially sustainable and keep ticket prices affordable is by selling their best players if there is interest in them. Compared to our , errrr, latest accounts, fan -owned Brentford look financially fantastic. Interestingly - though not fan -owned - Brum just announced £3 million profiits , while keeping stadium. And they were in a worst position than us not that long ago. Still, at least we got Rhodes on £40,000 a week doing nowt next for 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musn't Grumble Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Just out of interest (suspending reality in assuming that it is viable to organise a fan buy-out, which I don't think it is), whom would you have in mind to sit on a new Board? Would you start with the Supporters' Trust, a completely new organisation or a new business funded on share capital? Any takers? Suggestions?

Like Lee Stafford buying us. Or Tony Stewart. For the first Board, must be shareholders and - like In Germany and Spain - based upon democratic principles elect a leader. But clearly , Wilko for footy matters and Owls Trust for fan relations , plus Sir Peter Middleton, ex Barclay's Chairman and Rector of Sheffield University , for finance skills. And accounts. Yeah, maybe Chansiri can do better than that lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
