Benham is a mathematician, a professional gambler, devoid of emotion. He had big plans for Brentford but as yet, they're still playing in the same stadium and still no nearer to the PL. I posted several years ago that I wondered if he'll still be as enthusiastic and full of himself after a few seasons in the championship.Brentford have done exactly that and they had one of the best academies in the south east. Benham got sick of losing 16-18 yr olds for peanuts to the bigger teams after investing in the kids for 10 yrs. They are now going to bring in the 16-18 tr old cast offs from Chelsea et al and hope to pick up a diamond whilst saving millions per year in academy running costs.
Doesn't bode well for the future though if 'everyone' does it !
He works on mathematical models but how does that work in the championship? There's certainly an element of chaos theory. Maybe he has modelled it and the model says 'almost no chance of getting into the PL'.
I wouldn't follow his lead as far as football is concerned. It's not just about numbers. The 'what does being a Blade mean to you' thread shows that.
