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

[TWGL1]

It's laughable that United, Liverpool and arsenal moan about man City, who are crooks , buying the league

What do they think their clubs were trying to do for decades ?

A plague on all their houses

I hope Brentford are clean living because it would be great if one day that sort of club could succeed

The Brentford who has spent €380m in transfer fees …. Right ?

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.

Where do you get that from? Brentfords NET spend on transfers in last 10 windows is £40M. They are very good at making a profit in players.

Think Brentford have already spent around £300 million in the January window though, so that’s probably been included.

[splott parker]

The year Man City bought Haaland they spent €155m on transfers yet recouped €162m in sales. That seems like a well run club financially on the transfer front.

Brentford spending 300m in January? Who the hell have they agreed to sign? Mbappe and Bellingham?

FFP is a load of rubbish but unless you have it, you might as well let the oil states do what they want.

The PL wants more money to go to the big 6 now anyway, so what's the point

I thought you knew about football. Why would transfers next January, which may not happen yet, be included in the figures for the last 10 transfer windows?
