    To be fair to them imagine we’d stuck him on a big new contract and then he’d played like a tart all season.

    Sounds like a jam now deal. Maybe getting money in the bank to feed a couple of purchases.

    No pleasing some people.

    We have had interest in Chair, Willock, Dieng and Dickie, (with much bigger offers)...in the windows of 2022 and we hung on to them with an attempt first with Warburton and then Beale to get promotion. Those dreams faded and with it the skills and desirability of all those players.

    If we had sold them in Jan or July 2022, everyone would have been up in arms... but the gamble failed....and all 4 have lost their gloss.

    Brentford know when to sell
    We didnt

    We can’t afford jam. Stale bread and some margarine that hasn’t had time to soften maybe.

    Not necessarily advocating selling but rather negotiating contracts before it’s too late.

    Brentford is a great business model.

    Run by an exceptionally bright guy who made his millions quite young in betting and analytics while we’re run by people you wouldn’t trust to look after your cat.

    It’s one thing having a good/great business model.
    A whole different thing having the right people to execute it!!

    Buying in players then selling them on for £700k is hardly good business - the whole idea is to bring in young players and sell them for good profit. When people talk of our owners having to use their own money to finance the club maybe they wouldn’t have to if they put the right people in place.

    They put their own money in to finance the club because of their business model. I still laugh at the Rob Green & Julio Cesar wages. A child could have worked out the implications of that.

    Does anyone know how much we paid Oxford for Dickie? I'm sure we've sold him to Bristol for less.

    I read we paid up to £1.8m and are getting up to £1m. Presumably we haven’t achieved enough to pay Oxford the full amount.

    Clarke-Salter for three matches followed by an emergency loan from Luton reserves.

    Oxford say they got 6 figures for him...but no more than 1.5.


    We lost a bit....

    If we had sold him in 2022 we would have got a lot more...but we gambled on him ( and others) being good enough to get us promotion...but they werent
