Theregulars Posted Monday at 14:00 Share Posted Monday at 14:00 Losing him and Mbeumo in the same month will be a big test of how well-run Brentford are. Can see them flushing but also unearthing some 36 year old Belgian metrosexual who takes them to Europe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted Monday at 14:05 Share Posted Monday at 14:05 Frank's about the ideal appointment for them for us imo. Don't think he has enough to make them a consistent force but he'll pick points off our champions league rivals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Parka Posted Monday at 14:11 Share Posted Monday at 14:11 As shown by other clubs - you can't lift the Brentford or Brighton model by taking one of the components. You need to bring the whole team - data, analysis, scouting etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted Monday at 14:46 Share Posted Monday at 14:46 Brentford losing these, Wolves selling Cunha/Ait-Nouri, Fulham maybe losing Silva. There's definitely some nervousness that one of these will keep a promoted side up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted Monday at 15:01 Share Posted Monday at 15:01 58 minutes ago, Theregulars said: As a business, not a sporting institution. He either picks the wrong manager or then doesn’t back the right one. To be where they are now after what they had under Pochettino is not well-run. I still think managers have under performed, Levy can take the blame for appointing them but he has supplied them with one of the best stadiums and training grounds in the world along with the 4th highest transfer budget.

Stifler Posted Monday at 15:02 Share Posted Monday at 15:02 22 hours ago, leffe186 said: There has been some pretty solid discussion about the key reason Qatar haven’t bought us yet being Levy wanting to stay on and run the place. Qatar aren’t interested. It’s been about a year since Staveley left NUFC and was rumoured to be bringing the Qatari’s to you, and nothing has happened. Your Qatari links go back much further as well. Qatar also passed on Man Utd with that Jasim guy, who at best couldn’t prove proof of funds, and at worst couldn’t even prove that he existed. Liverpool were open to offers at the same time, and Chelsea have been up for sale in recent years. They even had the option to buy Leeds, and seemingly passed up on the opportunity. Qatar are happy with PSG. They were already buying soft power in Paris and France before they even bought PSG. They have their fingers in FIFA’s pie, and in European football authorities pie as well. Bein have invested in Ligue 1 rights, and they have won the right to host, and actually hosted the World Cup. In the last 2 weeks they have achieved their ultimate aim with PSG, that is until they build their new stadium and some sort of ESL comes along. On top of this both FIFA and UEFA are seemingly clamping down on multi-club ownerships, which would just complicate matters if they gave you an uplift. Who comes first for them? The Premier League club that’s cost them billions and has a much higher base revenue before you get to sponsorships, or the team they have spent the last 15 years turning into a global brand, singing up big sponsorship deals, and generally building them into a mega club? Qatar simply aren’t interested in you. Your best chance of such a takeover was when Levy had PIF round, and kept upping the price, ultimately leaving them there for Staveley to come along and bring them to us.

It can’t be understated how much better the likes of Strand Larson, Alex Iwobi and Kevin Schade are than the best the Championship clubs can often muster. If one of them has a massive go maybe they can stay up. But it’s going to be super tough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Dancer Posted Monday at 16:06 Share Posted Monday at 16:06 Aye I can't see which team of the 17 who were in the PL last season will struggle enough for one of the promoted sides to overtake. The likes of Wolves/Everton/Palace who all struggled for long stretches last season would be comfortably better than the promoted 3 over 38 games. It's ridiculously difficult for anybody to compete now, and the 17 will probably be the same 17 for a long, long time now, with 3 rotating every year. Even them 3 will probably wind up being from the same pool of 6/7 teams. As hilarious as it will be watching sunderland lose most weekends, there should perhaps be some grace allowed to promoted sides in their first season, especially if it's their first season in a long time.

Cronky Posted Tuesday at 09:02 Share Posted Tuesday at 09:02 Frank has shown he's got ability, but the pressure of being Spurs manager is a step up. I think I'd have gone for Iraola.
