a non-league fanbase on steroids, fattened by relative success and all the passion of an obese Reform voter
they have just pocketed £65m straight
they are just taking the p**s if they keep offering Hutch fee in instalments
we must hold firm [Post edited 18 Jul 13:53]

How do you know Man Utd arent paying in instalments? I think we refused their offer of £35m previously as it was instalments so I imagine they'll need to come back with an offer that consists of most of the cash up front. |  |

I guess we were a huge club that just spent two decades outside the top flight?
It really doesn’t matter, does it?
I’ll fix it for you. Brentford are an established Premier League club that will be able to afford GBP40M for Hutchinson. |  | | |

Let's not get snooty about Brentford. They've got a decent fan base that doesn't seem to have forgotten where they've come from, and while they had a bit of investment to get them up to the Prem, they've generally done things the right way and not been pumped full of dodgy Russian money like plucky little Bournemouth, for example. They've had a good few years in the Prem and have a good record at developing talent. [Post edited 18 Jul 16:38]

They're receiving £65m in four instalments, so I don't think we can play hardball *that* much. |  | | |

They could really struggle this season, lost a fantastic manager and really key players, that's not a good recipe.. |  | | |

They could, they could also be completely fine. I read similar when they lost Toney or that Forest would struggle last year. I’m not really that bothered to be honest!
I said in before the end of the season Hutchinson would leave for big money and was interestingly shot down by quite a few saying he hadn’t done enough. I always had him and obviously Delap going, Axel I thought was 50/50. My only concern is who we bring in now. | | | |

Crazy you got shot down for that, agree in my eyes he was always likely to go, given his U21 performances and that cute little back heel thrown in for good measure, the writing was on the wall, but you never know...
We do have really good options too thankfully, obviously a few more to come in yet and have no worries they'll get that right.. | | | |

Yes I’m not losing any sleep on this one as had accepted it by Christmas if we went down he would be going. I’m just pleased the fee sounds fairly decent. Not a chance he was going to be playing Championship football this year, frankly nor should he be at this stage in his career.
Let’s hope for a busy few weeks in the market ahead for incoming players. | | | |

Nonsense. Brentford are a stable Prem side who have bought and sold really well, one we'd do well to emulate right now. Their fans seem fine too.
There's no way ManU are paying 65 million up front either |  | | |

As I said on another post every time they've sold a striker with a good goalscoring record, Neal Maupay, Said Benrahma, Ollie Watkins, Ivan Toney they found a replacement and continued to progress. They're an established PL team, I'm sure OH knows that. |  | | |

They're a small club, cut from the same cloth as Bournemouth, but both could be in the Premier League for years to come.
Top tier football has changed so much because of television money that fanbases are no longer relevant to the size of a football club.
Season after season Brentford and Bournemouth could play behind closed doors, stay up comfortably and be commercially successful.
The financial model is broken and without reform the Premier League will become a de facto closed shop.
Until then, the relegation of the three promoted clubs will be the norm. [Post edited 18 Jul 15:21]

Obviously clubs will try and get the best deal and for Brentford this means offering to pay any fee over a long time period. And as the selling club, we will want to get the best possible deal.
Historically, Brentford might well be a small club but in recent years they’ve done very well for themselves. |  | | |

We want all of that, and then Hutch must be worth £40M. So by my maths, I make that £104M they owe us 😜
We don’t want to get screwed over. Ball’s in our court now that his release clause has expired, so we’ll hopefully push a little bit. |  |

Brentford are a bigger, more important (at the moment) club than Ipswich Town - by a sizeable margin. They are worth £400m, have a modern ground, modern facilities, proper scouting network and are established Premier League so we are in no position to talk them down. It’s how it is.
I’ve no idea what he wants, how clubs negotiate, how transfers actually work, it’s all guesswork from me. But the facts of the matter are, they’re in the Premier League, are good at what they do with facilities to match and I can fully understand why Hutchinson would jump at the chance - assuming he wants away.
There may come a time that we can compete on even terms with the likes of Brentford, Bournemouth, Fulham and co. Maybe even pass them, but it isn’t now.
In terms of holding firm against attempts at fleecing us, I agree. Yes, they’ve got boatloads of money and we should not be bullied by them. But don’t forget that if we go looking for players down the food chain, other clubs will hold firm against us. My guess is that’s one of a number of reasons why we are finding it hard to bring in replacement players.
It’s very sad that modern football is becoming almost exclusively about money, but it is what it is. |  | | |

Snoop bloody dog. What’s all that about? And Modric. At least Modric could give their players a few tips. It’s bizarre. | |

I dont even think these days it's about that stuff anymore, players dont care about which clubs they play how nice the fans are, what their prospects for success are its just about the money. Brentford can offer more money than Town, it's that simple | | | |

I think the main words are "Premier League" and whilst it's an over hyped product paid for mainly by tv and made up to an extent by fans and merchandise it still has that draw for players and of course the financial aspect and again the fact that playing for a Premier League club also makes it easier for a player to gain International recognition;
So a handful of clubs in the Premier League may in many respects be smaller than Town they nonetheless are in the highest League in the Country and rightly or wrongly regarded as the best in the World. | | | |

Brentford are everything we should aspire to be in terms of running a club, succession planning and transfer dealings. They are clearly a better option than us (tempered maybe by the fact of the change of manager). |  |

They're a decent team that adopted the buy to sell model early doors, they have been hugely successful doing it. I'd give anything to be in their position. If Omari has a few decent seasons there he'll be sold for a fortune. You can criticise his performance last season however if you dig into the underlying numbers, the ones Brentford will have analysed he performed excellently. Look at him in the Euros surrounded by better players and he looked excellent. Good luck to the lad. If we manage to sell 2 players for 70 million quid I'll be effing delighted. It'll largely recoup what we spent last summer and allow for phase 2 of our growth |  | | |

Brentford are a piddling little team, punching well above their weight. But,and it’s a big but, they have been in the PL for a number of seasons now and have built up a good network and a sizeable chunk of money. Those two things are a big plus. We on the other hand were run into the ground by Evans over that period. That allowed for the likes of Brighton, Brentford, Bournemouth, Fulham etc to get ahead of us. None of which are bigger than Town in stature. Just were going in the right direction whilst we were being pulled apart. |  | | |
