Brentford are a club to aspire to in many ways. They have gone about things the right way and their owner is, to the best of my knowledge, a lifelong fan of the club. His implementation of a form of the "Moneyball" model has worked really well and a few of us touted them for promotion at the start of the season.So the first half of your post I fully agree with. The second part is a bit wide of the mark in my opinion.Any professional club would be in trouble if their owners just decided to up and leave, Rovers included. That's down to how the system works. Every club has to find a suitable new owner - look what happened when the well-run, locally-owned Leyton Orient were handed off to a total dingbat when on the cusp of their biggest success in history.
Moneyball is based on the baseball theory of not the best player overall but the best stats in that position I.e most assists or chances converted per shot keeper would be most saves per shot.Good film as well
What a damn good football team they are. An example of what can be achieved by a small club. Yes i know they have had considerable investment but they have had very good successive managers in the last 9 years. They haven’t spent a fortune on players. Not compared to most other clubs in that league. New ground on the horizon as well. Bournemouth & Brentford both in the Premier League next season? That’s food for thought. But if their foreign owners get bored then what? How much debt are they carrying and how much would the owners be wanting out of the club. Could be disintegration?If ours do we will not collapse into financial meltdown. Very little debt and our owners will not leave without a SUITABLE new owner coming in.Who’s shoes would you prefer to be in?
So what previous goal record did Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood have before.? More jealous Anti Man United nonsense.
