Le Compte skrev:Hi and welcome.
Thanks for your input. Of course I was a little sceptical at first, but after I have seen an interview with our new owner I am much more optimistic now. My biggest concern is that all these money that is invested in FCM will be spend on expensive players in order to obtain success in the short run. Because we have done that before (approximately in the years 2009-2011).
We are a new club which supporters from other clubs tend to throw in our face. They say we have no histories and are a commercial business and not a real football club. It was Ikast FS and Herning Fremad that merged into FCM in the year 1999. The club have high ambitions and have never been afraid to tell the world about it. That sort of behaviour is frowned upon in Denmark where most people like the role of the underdog. The club made a statement to be national champions before 2011 and since that did not happen the reactions from the media and surroundings was to ridicule instead of saying. FCM did not become champions but their ambition helped the club forward.
Hopefully this was useful. Please post any questions you might have and we will try to answer. It is nice that someone uses our English debate forum
Can you tell us about Brentford FC?
P.S. sorry for the potential misspellings and grammatical errors.
Interesting to hear about your team!
Firstly, I don't imagine that a lot of Benham's financial input will be spent on expensive players suddenly (this wasn't the case really at Brentford, we made some really good loan signings, and invested in young players for the future, who have really proved themselves).
Brentford is a West London club, near Queens Park Rangers, Fulham and Chelsea - so we are often seen as the smaller team in the area, but it is an exciting time for us at the moment. Finally we have an owner (Mr. Benham) who is willing to properly invest in the team, the staff and the facilities. This season has been amazing for us - we had plans for a new stadium (20,000) approved by the Mayor of London, work for which will begin soon:

We also were promoted this last season, and will play in the Championship for the first time since 1992-1993 (the same league as our rivals, Fulham, for the first time in a long long time!)
Our youth academy was recently promoted to a 'category 2' youth set up, which means we now receive more funding and our youth teams play games against premiership and championship teams. We have a new indoor facility that opened earlier this year where the Academy is based (see image below), and our scouting network has expanded rapidly over the last 12 months.

We have some fantastic younger players - probably the most notable of which are Adam Forshaw, James Tarkowski, Jake Bidwell and recent signing Moses Odubajo. With our current squad, I am quietly confident we should achieve a mid-table finish next year.
Our most famous fan by the way is Cameron Diaz
