   There is no doubt that excluding two factors Brenford would be sitting atop the Championship right now and we would not need statistics to demonstrate just how good this current Brentford playing group really is: 1. The gaining self belief amongst the playing group that they are better that most, if not all teams in The Championship. 2. The short term stutter after the awful manner of the hatchet job done on Mark Warburton. 1 cost Brentford about 10 points and 2 cost 5 – 6 points. Add those to 78 and the season would have finished on 93 – 94 points, cast aside all the experts and demonstrated just how good this group is.
   This leads me to ask this question – am I the only Brentford supporter left who believes the loss of Mark Warburton, David Weir and possibly others will cause very significant problems. There is no doubt Matthew Benham has exceeded every other Brentford owner is vision, cash and long term commitment. Equally, I am sure in the long term that Brentford will have a successful long term future in the EPL, but why, oh why do two very intelligent and very exceptional people (Benham and Warburton), who have a fundamentally similar vision for the long term future of Brentford get themselves into the position where just about everyone outside Brentford looks on in disbelief. Matthew Benham has saved Brentford but that does not mean he always makes the correct decision because in losing Warbs, particularly at this stage of development is not a good idea.
   Both Benham and Warbs are wrong if, having jointly got Brenford into this position, they cannot work out a compromise, particularly as they both share a vision for a successful long term future of Brentford.
   I have supported Brentford for over 60 years and observed a seemingly endless procession of people begin along the road to success, only to then manage to self destruct – so many false dawns.
   Nothing is Black and White – it is all shades of Grey – and true success is finding the right shade of grey though discussion and compromise.

     I think we’d all love a compromise or visionary agreement between the two benham and Warbs. That still looks as unlikely today as it did the morning the story was leaked to The Times unfortunately.
