do rather dislike this comparison (and the other obvious similar comparisons in Doctors, Nurses, teachers etc) yes footballer wages are a bit on the revolting side but so long as the money pouring into football keeps increasing then obviously the wages are going to go up since they're the guys making the money.

Brentford say manager Mark Warburton "will continue to lead the club" after speculation about his position.

A report in the Times on Tuesday  said Warburton would be dismissed by owner Matthew Benham even if the Bees win promotion to the Premier League.

The west London club, who were promoted from League One last season, are currently fourth in the Championship.

Despite confirming Warburton's status, a Bees statement also said they "plan for various possible eventualities".

The 52-year-old was appointed Bees boss in December 2013 following a two-and-a-half-year spell as sporting director.

He has won 33 of his 59 games in charge of the team and is currently on a rolling one-year deal at Griffin Park.

The Brentford statement  said that Warburton's "increasing profile within the game" meant that he "will deservedly have turned the heads of other clubs".

However, The Times reports that Benham and Brentford chairman Cliff Crown held talks with Rayo Vallecano manager Paco Jemez last week and offered him the chance to replace Warburton at the end of the season.

And the statement continued: "We are a progressive club who do talk to other people within the game to learn about other ways of doing things, and to consider novel strategic approaches to the game.

"Those conversations continue internally, and are part of a healthy dialogue.

"Football is sometimes called a village, and in any village, gossip and rumours can spread like wildfire, whether or not such rumours are true.

"It would not be in the club's interests to disclose any of those discussions, but Brentford do want to confirm that Mark Warburton remains our manager."

Benham became Brentford owner in summer 2012 and is involved in financing the construction of a 20,000-capacity stadium at Lionel Road, which the club hope will be ready by 2017.

He has also been the majority shareholder of Danish Superliga side FC Midtjylland since last summer.

The owners of Blackpool Football Club are suing a web forum for libel in the latest of a series of actions against fans making derogatory comments online.

 

Owen and Karl Oyston are seeking £150,000 damages from the Back Henry Street website.

 

Papers were served on Thursday over six alleged defamatory comments which were made in 2014.

 

A club spokesman confirmed the legal action but said it would not be commenting further.

 

A notice published on the fans' website stated: "To clear up any rumours, on Thursday 5 February 2015, Back Henry Street was served papers from the court, relating to the Oystons' and Blackpool Football Club's intent to seek damages for six allegedly defamatory comments made on the site in 2014, limited collectively at £150,000.

 

"For obvious reasons, we can not go into any more detail at this time. Thank you for your continued support."

 

The forum has appealed to fans of the Championship side to help in its legal fight.

 

'Freedom of thought'

One of its moderators posted a message saying: "A football club exists and prospers due to the support of its fan-base and Back Henry Street will forever champion the freedom of thought and expression in discussion of Blackpool Football Club.
