    Whilst Brentford haven’t yet managed the dizzy heights of the premier league yet they have become a top end consistent championship team who play a good style of football and who attract big money for there stars, does this season give us hope we can build on this and look to follow in Brentford’s steps?

    As much as I don’t want to see our side ripped apart a think it goes without saying we’ll lose a few but hopefully for big money, I hope it gets ploughed straight back into the next ruff diamond and we go again. If we’re to really move on, then taking a leaf from Brentford’s book will be a step in the right direction!!


    This season has been unreal, even watching games on my phone and tablet, I’ve still got excited every Saturday/Tuesday watching us, from living room celebrations to being lucky enough to see them last Monday night it’s been a crazy season........I’m sadly feeling like it’s all just passed by now in the blink of an eye, the euphoria of getting in the playoffs considering where we come from the previous season was unthinkable for us all really, for me we never got to grips with the 2 games which given how effective we’ve been all season is a shame we fell at the last hurdle, fair play to Swansea though.

    A feel lost already without the thought of no football for the next few months :(

    Hope we don't become the next Brentford as I would hate for us to spend beyond our means and be tens of millions of pounds in debt.

    We won’t be the next Brentford we won’t pay wages they do.

    If we as a club are to keep moving forward then this will come with having to up the wage banding too.......

    If the club keep buying low and selling high, they’ll keep the finances sustainable while gradually increasing the amount to play with.

    Based on what we’ve seen so far I think it bodes well for the long term.
