One of the most succinct, sensible and measured pieces written on the subject. Now if only every lazy journalist and Benham-hater could read this with their eyes wide open we’d be absolutely fine.
Well done!
Great article Carl,i just hope it removes the blinkered views of some of our fans as to what Matt Benham is attempting to do for our Football Club, with HIS money by the way, whats not to like, the last few seasons being proof of that.
I agree, a first class article. What we must also not lose sight of is the fair play rules. Brentford’d revenue is smaller than most and in order to balance the books we need sales in order to keep inside the boundaries.
Nobody wants Judge to go, but we must trust Mr Benham , we would not be are where we are today without him and I for one are grateful and enjoying the excellent football and this journey in general.
I endorse the comments already made. This is a great article.
What sold it for me was Gray, as I was thinking along the same lines. Yes he scored goals, but we are top goal scorers without him. So losing him is not the real problem. The real problem, in my eyes, isn’t with scoring goals, it is with giving away too many soft goals.
It is amazing how we (and I am part of the we) spend so much time and emotional energy on Brentford over things we can’t do anything about.
Top article which spells out the rationale with great clarity.
But by selling our spine and tacitly accepting that promotion is not on the cards this season (as some have suggested to me) is quite a sad thing to have to accept.
The article paints a very clinical picture of the modern game and our place in it which is quite sad. It would seem the days of getting to know and love the players in our team medium and long term are gone which again, for someone my age, is tough to take.
Ho hum….wake me up in February
Absolutely brilliant summary.
The simple reality is Brentford probably need to make a profit of 5 million plus per season on player trades to break even with the low profile, low sponsorship income and low crowd attendances, therefore there is no option but be smarter than the opposition.
Any suggestion that those running Brentford do not want to achieve promotion this season quite simply do not understand the the assembled talent that is running this club, nor give them credit for their individual and collective skills.
There are two trades each year, as we know and whatever is sold will be replaced with better – at a cheaper cost – as Carl has explained so well.
As supporters we should relish these ‘trade periods’ and watch the way the jigsaw that will be premier league Brentford develops.
In both the long and short term a successful football club has the best team on the pitch AND the best team off the pitch – and I believe we are watching that process develop before our eyes.
Stay tuned to the big picture as Benham most certainly is.
