The Brentford model

[MillersTime]

Please don't ask why I used such high numbers for scoring in a game, I have no idea haha but you get the idea. Be the same if one scored 3 from 3 whereas another scored 1 from 6 say.

Without being disrespectful Matthew Benham is light years ahead of Tony Stewart(and many others) as to how to run a successful football club. There are several really interesting online articles regarding his history and football achievements. For example he employs a team of at least 12 football mad super qualified young analysts who know the game and worldwide players inside out. He even sacked Warburton after achieving promotion because he didn't follow the model ! We can't and wont compete with that.

Just watching the Brentford v Arsenal match. I think Brentford will comfortably stay up this season
They just seem to have a good business model and know what they are doing.
Their owner Matthew Benham who has made his riches from gambling is no richer than Tony Stewart.
We are clubs of a similar size with a similar size fanbase.
What is the secret to their success and can we ever emulate what they have achieved?
Has Tony lacked the ambition at crucial points when an investment injection might just have changed our fortunes for the better or as he given up on reaching the promised land?

Are you seriously comparing a few figures on paper and using them to compare the affluence of West London with... Rotherham?!!!!

Try this for size.. Brentford's new stadium cost SEVENTY ONE million quid... 3.5 times ours! It houses an initial 17000 fans and in that glutted area will soon need extending.. while ours holds 12,051 and on our history will NEVER need extending. What a preposterous post the 'Brentford Model' is.
Try talking about 'levelling up' as our Tory chums spout... about as much chance.
Neither Sheffield club can survive in Div 1 but you think WE could have emulated Brentford but for Tony Stewart.. get real.

When Scotty scouted Maupay for Brentford they paid £1M for him .......can you seriously think TS would pay that on a recommendation of someone else???? He got his fingers burnt with Blackstock and Danny Schofield by not playing and getting good money.
The last 2 set piece coaches they had got poached by Spurs and Man city, so they don't bother now. They also have scouts all over europe, we have 1 and Scotty..........................

Don't really know how you can compare us and them, they're lightyears ahead of us and in a position that we can never achieve and only dream about.....dream on.

Maybe so but we don't share a ground with a rugby team

First it was the Barnsley model then the Peterborough model now Brentford.

Shock horror a teams does well and it’s used as a stick to beat TS with.

Very good point.

We'll know we've reached rock bottom when people start touting the Derby model
