In his first major interview since joining Brentford, chief executive Andrew Mills tells the Chronicle about his seven 'intriguing' months in charge at Griffin Park.
Budget
I met the Board recently about the budget and remain comfortable the level we operate at is reasonable for our ambitions within this division. The numbers I hear banded about are ridiculous.
There are a number of teams who, whether because they've been relegated from a higher division or otherwise, have significantly increased budgets on ours.
We come around 10-12 th in the league, last year we were 14 th . When I look at Huddersfield, Charlton, MK Dons, Southampton and Plymouth, they haven't got anything more tangible than we have so far despite having much bigger budgets.
We have a sensible approach. We will not risk the long term future of Brentford Football Club for one year of glory as some others have in the Premier and Football Leagues.
See part two on transfers tomorrow, or pick up a copy of the Chronicle on Friday for the full interview.
