Having read this i just thought i'd check out the sums .

Had a look at Brentfords figures for 2012 ,published 2013.

Now I'm struggling to understand where he gets the notion their player budget is 4-5 times ours . £8-£10M.

From what i see In their books their losses are just over £5M. and their player football side budget is between £4.5-£5M. Their turnover is somewhere around £5M. also.

If we take out the peripheral players and coaching expenditure and the 60% rule supports this they'd have a wage bill of circa £3.5M.

Not forgetting our RICOH turnover was £6.6M. our player budget should have equated to £4M. this season ,however we know why It Is £2M.

So I will give him around 1.5 -1.75 better than ours ,but lets not pretend we don't know why.

I think we have to remember we had 2 big cup ties, a lot of cup games and sold keogh and bigi and got compensation for robins. I think our 'normal' league one Ricoh turnover would be nearer £5m

Also the 60% FFP rule is the maximum, doesn't mean you have to spend that much.
