There’s no reason why we can’t compete and do well in the championship. Get rid of DoF and warburton, then get in a proper manager. Not one who after us is only going to be employed by our youth set up, Grimsby or no one!

I don’t think we’re in a position to gamble and not bring in two or three ginge Indeed. Something has to give - be it new players or a new manager - as we're only going in one direction and that's down. If they do neither then that tells you they'd accept relegation as part of their grand QPR 'master plan' 🙃 One of the most important transfer windows of recent times and we will know a lot more about where we are as a club.

January transfer window is always panic buying. Let’s say to Eddie Howe, 4 year deal. Even if we go down, you stay. We back you because we think you can build something here like you did at Bournemouth. Similar sized clubs, do the same here.

Great idea and makes sense James but remember you are talking about our board.

Get shot of DOF and Howe works with Hoos. Can't see how a decent manager works with failed DOF experiment.

New stadium chat has gone quiet. I think everyone is waiting for Covid to die down before committing to the future in a big way.

Still got 10 million of the Eze money left where did that go some of that will be the dof's bonus, the rest will be recouped by the board no doubt What a comical reply hits Are you not aware that the board were funding the club to the tune of £1million a month pre COVID fark knows what that has risen to during this pandemic.

Interesting to read that Mathew Benham pumped in £100m into Brentford to get where they are today yet our owners have splashed 5 times that amount for no return whatsoever...when will the penny drop for our owners that maybe they have to take a real interest in the football club themselves to stand any chance to be successful.

How many seasons have Brentford played in the Premier League?

How many seasons have Brentford played in the Premier League? I'd honestly rather be in their position over the last 10 years than ours.

They simply wasted it as they had no plan other then buy buy buy

Cannot compare us and them, They have a new stadium, profit on transfers and have a recruitment policy that shames us. They have spent well on transfers and unlike us not been saddled with players on silly contracts and that is why we are where we are.

Were Leeds or QPR fans happy when they spent 15 years away from the Premier League? No. Bet the happiest moment for Brentford fans would be the promotion. If they are not promoted they will not be happy either.

Promotion or not they are miles ahead of us in terms of how they operate both on and off the pitch.
