Ramarena Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 2 hours ago, JayRam1 said: I can see Brentford struggling from now on with recruitment, they rely heavy on foreign players, with all Brexit and work permits etc they are going to have to shop in a much smaller pond now with so much competition. Actually this is a good point that I hadn’t considered for their circumstance. They have had some decent British players come through the club as well though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without looking into it in too much detail there's certainly clubs such as Stoke, Villa (at the time) & Sheff Weds that have been worse than us. I just find it highly convenient that people like to randomly choose Brentford to compare to, to try and reinforce their point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point didn’t need to be reinforced, I was simply pointing out a club who have achieved remarkable revenue from their players. Every other club had the opportunity to buy those players including us. What we did was the exact opposite, buying expensive players and then letting them go for peanuts or nothing at all. We even had the opportunity to buy Ollie Watkins. So what if we’d have had to pay more than Brentford did at the time. It was obvious that he was a very good player. That’s the sort of profit that we COULD of generated, but instead we purchased a large pile of poo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Transfermarkt... 5 year net spend 1 of 15 current Championship sides to have a net transfer profit over 5 seasons. We rank 13th overall. 10 year net spend Thanks to the spend under Clement's management, we've made a significant loss (marginal profit if we exclude that season). 6 sides rank worse than us - Stoke, Bournemouth, Cardiff, Watford, QPR and Wednesday. We're just £2m worse off than Boro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Mac, actually got permission off Tisdale (Exeter Manager) to speak to Olly Watkins. Which he did, then the rest is history, Mac got the sack. So we did have a head start on other clubs. Rowett came in and bought 8 players in during his short spell at Derby (3 were loans). None were out and out young strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they threaten to wait and we have to pay the wages of a player Rooney doesn't rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
