I have referred recently to Brentford's financial success and attributed it in large part to a committed owner who, along with his team, has made sensible decisions. Contrast that with some of the opportunists or naive dabblers we have encountered at Charlton.
Now the club is on sale at £300m, offering a cheap route into the top flight for serious US investors. Much is made of that their new stadium, but it actually has a lower capacity than The Valley: https://footballeconomyv2.blogspot.com/2024/02/brentford-inexpensive-route-for-us.html
At Charlton, Roland and his family retain control of The Valley and the training ground.
As a club Brentford have overtaken us while at Charlton successive owners have sucked the life out of the club. I am not criticising the present owners who seem to be an improvement, albeit it is a low bar.
