I didn't look at the bad debt situation in the Brentford accounts but they booked £2.9million from revenue gained from non-Brentford FC facilities at the ground. I assume they would have qualified the figure if there was going to be a significant write off associated with it. Brentford could make Irish make good any missed payments as a condition of a new tenancy. If ground rent for Irish was £600,000 then conservatively they were bringing in £1.5million from other sources related to the deal. Perhaps there is a share of ticket sales but most of this must come from food and beverage at the ground. I didn't normally linger at the stadium after Irish games but once, as the Covid lockdown was just being lifted, I went to have a drink at one of the bars in the stadium. It was so rammed you could barely get through the door. I have been to the bars after football matches and they were relatively quiet. The confidence with which you assert that this deal isn't going to happen suggests you are talking to people in the know, so I am going to have to live with my hopes of an Irish return being dashed. However, it is frustrating because the arrangement seems to have been in the interest of both parties. Brentford's salary plus amortisation bill is currently the lowest in the Premier League and under a quarter of what Chelsea's is at the moment. This is testament to brilliant management and player recruitment but, as I said before, this is a tight rope. It takes just one serious injury or one player failing to settle in England for the system's weaknesses to be revealed. One or both of Wissa and Mbuemo have to go this year and they have to be replaced by players that are both cheap to buy and aren't asking for a high salary. Brentford are not the only club looking for this sort of player. |
