If you were the Premier League.. would you want to punish Man City hard?

Exactly, an investigation into nigh on every club would most probably unearth something iffy. Deduct every club 10 points before the start of the season, only fair

Except Brentford havent spent nowhere near 380m in their whole history nevermind netspend.

If you go to transfermarkt and look at the Brentford page, it says their squad is valued at €379m.

And if you don't read it properly, then you think that means it's what everyone cost rather than just being what the website values the players at

€379m spent with a deficit of around €57m over the years according to Google. TWGL1 wasn’t far out

What did you put in to google to find that?

Adding their top 25 transfers according to this only comes to about 240m

I just lazily Googled, ‘How much have Brentford spent on transfers’ and those figures came up. I’ve no clue otherwise just Googled it to see, I’ve never kept up with the comings & goings there

Brentford are renowned for buying unknown players for relatively cheap fees (in football terms) then selling players when their stock is high, making big profits on the players and reinvesting some of those profits in the team and the cycle continues.

A model that Brighton have taken to another level most recently and one which many clubs have tried to replicate. Unfortunately for them not wth the same success as Brentford or Brighton.
