A jaw dropping story appears in today’s Times newspaper, which claims that Mark Warburton will be SACKED as Brenrford manager, even if he leads the Bees to the Premier League.

Matt Hughes, The Times’ Deputy Football Correspondent, puts his name to a story which threatens to derail the wonder-vibe that engulfs our club at this moment in time, and having spoken to the men who are central to this story in the recent weeks, and having attended the fans’ forum at Griffin Park, where Mark Warburton’s future was discussed, the newspaper article seems very removed from what the men involved have have said on the record and when questioned about this exact issue. The vibe was certainly ‘worried about losing him’, NOT ‘want to replace him’….

The newspaper claims that “Mathew Benham has made it clear that he is determined to peruse a new direction despite Brentford’s excellent progress under Warburton…” And that “Warbuton discovered via the Spannish media last week that Brentford had held talks with Paco Jamez the Reyo Vallecano coach.”… And goes on to say that a meeting did take place between Bees owner Mathew Benham, chairman Cliff Crown and Jamez according to sources.

This story, which runs on the morning of an important game with Watford, and set against a back drop of unparalleled contentment and achievement at the club, is a veritable hand grenade lobbed into a wedding party… Suffice to say that Beesotted will be speaking to some of those named in Mat Hughes’ story again today to establish if there are any grounds to what has been printed.

It is known that Warburton’s contract expires at the end of the season and Cliff Crown spoke about sitting down to discuss Warbs’ future when the curtain comes down on this campaign… It also does not take a genius to realise that Mark Warburton’s stock is at an all time high, with several big clubs no doubt looking at what’s been happening at Griffin Park and considering a swoop… That would be an unavoidable by-product of big success at ‘tin-pot’ Brentford.

IF a meeting did place with Jamez in Spain, and that’s a pretty big IF, then perhaps it was a case of covering one’s arses if Warbs were to head off into the sunset rather than any dissatisfaction with the Gaffer: due diligence rather than complete madness.

It’s not April Fools Day is it?
