This is the exact model we were promised but we have been fucking it up because we were run by narcissists and schophants who haven't got the first clue what they are doing.
They were enabled every step of the way by apologists like Deep.
"Blown it for a proper go" ??????
That's the whole point, that is exactly what they didn't do.
They got 48m in last summer for Watkins & Benrahma and the most they spent was £5m on Toney. They most certainly did not 'blow it for a proper go'.
If supporting a management policy that is trying to do a similar thing as Brentford have done is something to be criticised for then I make no apologies for it. It's taken them 9 years since Benham took over, and he has stuck to his philosophy and statistical approach to recruitment throughout that time despite downturns in the progress. I'm just not sure many fan bases would have given him that amount of time.
