I don’t think they’ve spent much generally

They had a shift in model when they binned warburton and appointed smith.

But like ours I guess. Think they did well from the sale of Watkins and benrahma, maybe others too? And spent the money well

Smith provided the platform for frank to kick on.

As you say, Brentford fans seem to like him. Think they were midtable when smith left.
