Why do you have to sell to survive? You have sold loads of players. You don't spend much on their replacements. What do you need more money for now? Are you sure you're not just getting mugged off and lapping it up? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Building a new stadium is not cheap these days, especially in the London area, the cost of purchasing just the land alone is so much more than in the midlands and other regions. I don't think we are getting mugged off, we have made over £80 million in the last 3-4 years on players for an outlay of £8-£9 million, Think Hogan, who was mugged off there?

Of course you do because “it’s for the good of the club” but making the amount of profit you mention is very impressive are you sure it all goes back into the club? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And No, we don't want him back in P/EX I think what Mazrim means is, are you as fans being mugged off? It’s not a normal business, yes we all need money, but the point of a football club having money is to build a good football team. Within reason nobody cares about how much a club makes, they only care about what happens on the pitch. So making £80 million, is all well and good, but if Brentford FC exist only to make money, then surely that’s not great for the fans, who I would assume would prefer to get promoted and make less money. Provided of course the club makes enough to be sustainable. I agree that the fact you’re building a stadium is going to take a lot of cash and that the investment is a long term one. If that’s the long term aim then fair play. If the aim is to be a football player dealer, then ok those guys in charge are doing it very well, but there comes a point when fans want to see success on the pitch and not just in the accounts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's to buy players and then sell them for five times the price and celebrate it like you've won something. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentford's recruitment setup is one of the best in Europe relatively speaking. But it is no good if you can't build a team. There has to come a point where you have to take a few calculated risks to try and get promotion. How about one year, not selling your best players and doing a Mel Morris by selling the stadium to yourself for example? What about outside investment? There must be another way, as the present situation is preventing you moving forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
