They were never shy about being a selling club, bringing in cheap players and selling for a profit.
How much have they brought in?
They really don’t look to have the best squad, do they just bank the money?

I think as a club they simply live within their means. They were 23rd of 24 in terms of Championship average attendances last season, but they finished 11th in the table. Brentford are a historically small club with little by way of potential but who who are in their sixth-successive season in the second tier. It's quite an achievement.
They also have a new stadium to pay forQuote:

I *think* they significantly reduced their analytics headcount a few years ago at Brentford and FKM.Quote:

You'd think a club like Brentford would have the pick of loanees from London clubs. Is there anything to stop clubs like Brentford, Fulham and QPR having a "special relationship" with Chelsea, Arsenal or Spurs?
