There's reasons to believe that Brantford know what they are doing. They usually do things better than others.
I think financially Brentford are pretty solid.
Im sure it comes into it. Whether it's a loophole or not not sure. Remember they'll have got compensated quite well from Spurs so can offset that im assuming. Bit of a payrise for Keeeeeeeeeeet but negligible in grand scheme of things so I suppose PSR looks better as a result. However, I think they're well run and not likely to breach.
It's an obscure reference to the Rolls-Royce Merlin engines they used in planes. Sorry!
I like obscure. Was thinking Merlin helicopters to be honest but wasn't entirely dialled in.
That's basically just because we've had to pay compensation to the managers and staff we've sacked so it's eaten into our budgets, and in the early Moshiri days we paid out compensation to the clubs we were taking managers from too. Promoting from within is cheaper than paying someone out of their contract elsewhere and so more beneficial from a PSR perspective, but it's not a loophole, just normal economics.
if it makes you feel any better, I am the child of a man who’s ’specialist subject’ is WW2 artillery (particularly tanks and planes) so I fully understood your reference. The fact that me and my mother can now also identify a Merlin engine just by the noise it makes demonstrates how many times we had to listen to his monologues (but he’s so happy talking about it so we humour his tangents)
Brentford will be doing pretty well out of this from a PSR angle - compo for Frank & you're giving someone their shot at being a PL manager so the wage will be low I would imagine.
Maybe the players like him
