The Sports Buff ⚽️ ⚾️ 🏈

They’re not the most prestigious clubs in the Premier League (with the greatest respect to both), but Brighton and Brentford are examples of two very well-run football clubs.

In the case of the Seagulls, we have waxed plenty of lyrical, which one example can be found here; https://the-sports-buff.com/2023/08/31/brighton-we-get-it-youre-trying-to-win-the-transfer-window/

In this piece, we talk about how brilliantly efficient they are in their transfer dealings. There are too many examples to list, but dear reader I want to point out that Brentford are a relentless machine too.

After returning to the first team not too long ago, after serving a ban due to betting, Ivan Toney will be sold this summer according to his manager Thomas Frank. It’s blunt honesty and comes with the element of being ruthless.

I say this because there’s been no sentimentality. Brentford have started the process of selling Ivan Toney and have a replacement in waiting in the form of Club Bruges striker Igor Tiago.

Just this summer too, The Bees got rid of the popular David Raya, what did they do? They acted swiftly and got in a replacement goalkeeper from Freiburg. Clubs like Manchester United could take note.

Brighton and Brentford have zero players you could classify as dead wood, but with Man United, one loses count.
