Seems funny that back in the day when we did our double promotion trick under the old regime and we were promoted as runners up in div 4 who were champions? Brentford, how time (and money) has treated each club differently and here we are waiting for their handouts. All is appreciated and let's hope we can move on like they have through the leagues. That said will it be sustainable?

Yes thought that a few times I believe I am also correct in saying in the thirties when we finished runners up in Division Three South Brentford were champions and as such were the team promoted to the Second Division.

"All things come to those who wait".
Who knows, Helly, maybe in 10 years they'll be in Div 2 and we'll be in the Championship (if there's still a Football League in existence).

Would seem fair to say with Ollie that Brentford look like having a real chance of reaching the PL with its riches.

Therefore given that possibility as they are not strapped for cash any Club seriously considering buying Ollie would surely have to table an offer of around £30M to have any chance of them giving it serious consideration.
Yes , the twenty million Sheffield Utd seem to be scraping together certainly won’t be enough.

If he's sold with performance bonuses & sell on clauses, would we get a cut of these in the future?
