Billy Grant and Dave Lane caught up with Brentford Manager Mark Warburton and David Weir less than 48 hours after the announcement that they would be leaving the club in the summer for an exclusive interview in which we discussed philosophy, statistical modelling, happy camps, whether Warburton fancied the ‘all powerful’ Sporting Director role again, transfers, what went wrong at Charlton, getting the fans absolutely potty for the season again plus much much more.

I’m 16 and a season ticket holder in the New Road Stand sitting very near to be bench, I’m obliged to be there week in and week out especially at the likes of Brighton away. I just want to say I’ve been an avid listener/watcher of your videos and podcasts for a while now and they’re brilliant and really informative and when I haven’t made a game I feel like I’ve know the ins and outs by the end of the podcast which I’m sure wouldn’t happen at many other clubs so soon after the game.
I’ll continue to enjoy your posts, I hope this has kickstarted your morning and be loud for brentford today 🙂

Thanks Luke for the kind comments. Glad you enjoy. Good to get constructive feedback – positive or negative. Great result against Bournemouth. Hopefully, that has re-kickstarted our season.
