It's pitiful that only 9 players have scored this season!! And as you say, there is not one goal from the defence all season, that says as much about our set piece delivery as it does anything else as this is when defenders usually get chances!!

Brentford manager Mark Warburton to leave in summer
Brentford have confirmed manager Mark Warburton will leave the club at the end of the season. Assistant boss David Weir and sporting director Frank McParland will also depart the Bees, who are currently seventh in the Championship table. Former City trader Warburton took charge in 2013 and guided the club to promotion from League One last season. "Every decision I take is intended to be in the best long-term interests of the club," said owner Matthew Benham. "Some of the decisions taken, like this one, have been extremely hard." The rise of Warburton's Brentford Despite challenging for promotion to the Premier League this term, the 52-year-old's future at Griffin Park came into question last week following a newspaper report that he was set to be replaced as manager in the summer. The Bees released a statement last Tuesday which said Warburton would "continue to lead the club", but Benham subsequently tweeted that he would explain the situation further in due course. "Matthew, a Brentford fan since 1979, has decided to make changes in order to ensure the long-term prosperity of the club," a club statement said. "As part of a remodelling of the club's football management, a head coach will be appointed to work alongside a new sporting director. "The club want the new structure to be a long-term way of working which is independent of whoever is in the head coach role. "Frank, Mark and David have decided, following long discussions with Matthew, that they feel unable to work under the changed structure and approach as it differs from their football philosophy." xxxx me I hope these bastards go into freefall.Basically sacking the manager and assisstants.remodelling the club my arse,head coach bollocks.The current mangement team have guided Brentford to 7th in the league from nowhere and they get treated like shit cos they don't fit in with the chairmans plans for fancy titles.I have heard rumours it's because Warburton is not a Yes man. How ever could Warburton end up at Hillsborough.Sometimes football stinks in fact a lot of times it stinks.
Nothing changes,again.

At face value it looks like Brentford are shitting on the guy that got them promoted & to some extent they are. However, the owner is correct in his view of how a club should be structured. Shame that here he couldn't work out a compromise with Warburton. Why is he right? The biggest reason that clubs do badly financially is repeatedly sacking managers. This happens at most clubs because invariably a manager hits a bad spell & gets sacked as a result. This is because 90% of managers are basically the same so they all have good spells & all have bad spells. Clubs invest in a new manager when he is appointed by letting him get rid of the previous manager's staff & players and bringing in his own at a considerable cost. When he hits a bad spell, he is sacked & a new guy gets rid of those players & staff & brings in his players & staff at more cost. This repeated cycle just costs the club money & doesn't move it forward. The correct way to run a club is to have an underlying philosophy on how to play which is played across all teams from juniors to first team. There should be a panel who recruit players for the club that fit into the pattern of play that they use and a Head Coach should be selected that also fits the pattern of play. The panel should consist of four acknowledged experts who are committed to the club plus the current Head Coach. This ensures that the HC buys into the recruitment process but that purchases are not at the whim of one man. In 1985, Johan Cruyff set this system up at Ajax & it still applies today. In 1988, he instigated the same system at Barcelona, playing a 433 system, which they still play to this day. They change HC regularly but it doesn't disrupt them because there is always the continuity of playing philosophy. Some might say well that is Barcelona, they are top of the tree. Well when Cruyff started this system at Barcelona, they had two Spanish titles in 28 years and weren't even the top side in their city. Their rise to pre-eminence in football has been largely due to running the club this way. So how does this translate to Wednesday? We need to have a way of playing. It could be 352, it could be 433 but most important of all, it has to be a flexible formation that can adapt mid match to circumstance. We need our recruitment committee. I would suggest that Howard Wilkinson heads this up with three other people steeped in the club. Maybe people like Gary Megson, John Pearson, David Hirst, Chris Waddle & Peter Shirtliff. This would ensure that each time we change the HC, we don't have to change all the players & coaching staff. This won't sit comfortably with the traditionalists that believe that the Manager should have total say in all recruitment but that way of thinking rarely works & totally relies on one guy's judgement and that is the one guy who isn't likely to be around in 12 months time. This system gives continuity of thought, planning & philosophy rather than lurching from one crisis to the next. Back to Mark Warburton. He is a great thinker about the game and I would love to have him as Wednesday Manager although I doubt he would fit into my "Brave New World." I would dump SG in a heart beat to get Warburton though. That is two good potential managers on the market but we must act quickly or else they will be gone.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
