Brentford are the club we need to look to emulate. Admittedly they've had a bit of investment but what they've done in regards to recruitment over the past 7/8 years is ridiculous and after a while the players start paying for themselves once you're selling the likes of Maupay for £20m.
Think we're already beginning to do that tbh, now we're in the Championship it's not unimaginable for us to be able to flip players for 4-5x what we pay. Hamer is a good example, I would imagine we've brought him in with the view that we'll hopefully be able to sell him for £6-8m in a couple of years time.
