El DiabloIan RoyalEl Diablo Brentford are way ahead of us right now.
Their owner, Matthew Benham, is a lifelong fan, has significantly deeper pockets than SJM ever had, and is making a real go at it. They made a massive profit on Andre grey, amongst others, and are cute in the market place ..
If Canos chose to come here , in our current ( uncertain ) position, it would really be a major coup..
Lets face it though, whilst Brentford are clearly on an up, they're still a smaller club punching at the top of their range. Whereas we're an established Championship side that regularly competes in the promotion stakes who are in a (relatively) mild slump. And our wage budget must be huge in comparison to Brentford. Unless we're massively slashing the wages this season, we can easily afford to pay more than Brentford and have better infrastructure and a sounder medium term past. And Money Talks.
We have no money - they have loads...do the Math IR
We've got enough money to have one of the biggest wage budgets in the division.
