Brentford's board have publically backed under-fire boss Terry Butcher, releasing an interesting statistic in the process.
When he arrived at the club, Butcher told the board that on the given playing budget they would only get a mid-table finish. In his statement, Chairman Greg Dyke said: "At that time they told us that with a £1 million pound playing budget they could get us to mid table but that we'd need some luck to get into the play offs."
In the last accounts the Bulls spent just over £750,000 on wages in total including all office and coaching staff, which would roughly equate to a £600,000 playing budget. If Butcher was in charge at Edgar Street, we would probably be staring relegation in the face!
