Brentford seem to be splashing the cash a bit
It's far more than we've ever spent before, but well withing our means.
How is spending pushing on £3m, for a club getting gates of about 7k, well within your means?
Genuine question, it's not a dig.

Can't quite work that out either 7k crowds and probably spending 2m more than us ... obviously FFP not worrying them
All in all, he's basically got a lot more money than any of us have expected, and having built a premier league infrastructure, with a new stadium two years away and having installed a chairman in Cliff Crown who has been CFO at big companies before and having had experience being on the board of football clubs before, we're certainly not likely to be spending beyond our means.
Gates of about 7k was true 1 or 2 years ago but the truth is we have already sold 5k season tickets and will get an average of about 10k next season. Now, Benham, similarly to Bloom is a very clever operator and has invested a lot of money into youth etc. and I think FFP rules are more lenient depending on how many home grown players you have in your squad, for us we have Kevin O'Connor, Jake Reeves and two newly promoted players in Josh Clarke and Charlie Adams.
He owns SmartOdds and Matchbook two companies with plenty of income, and the roof of one of our stands is apparently being painted with it's logo, and while there are restrictions on this sort of thing, and you're only allowed to pay the going rate in sponsorship to your football club via another company, because our ground is on the flight path of Heathrow and some Gatwick flights, it's 'going rate' is a lot.
He has also just bought a reasonably large Danish club in FC Midtjylland (sp.) and will gain income through this as they have a brilliant academy and potential for European football.

First choice striker at a Championship side? Why does that show no ambition? Surely, if you want to progress as player, it is important to get games under your belt.
