what ever Matthew posted about isn't worth blowing it up, he's more cleverer than all the dick heads that were slagging him off during this past season, **** the lot of the numpties..

A pretty silly tweet even if meant as banter. Not earth-shattering and in a few days it will all be forgotten. But when you're in public life there isn't much to gain by saying stuff like this even if does make you feel better.

He quoted the name of an album title by the artist with the same name as the player who scored the winning goal in the Scottish Cup final. No more, no less!

Talk about over bleeding reaction! Anybody taking serious offence to this remark need to get things into some sort of perspective or alternatively a life !!

No, people in positions of authority making silly jokes in public about former employees don't strike me as funny. It's not the end of the world as we know it but I'd rather he hadn't done it. Probably regretting it already. Let's move on.

Did you have a problem with a former manager going to the papers to try to make our owner sound like a maniac?

I fully support MB at Brentford 100% and could not care less about a tweet. At the time it was disappointing to see MW go but I have full faith MB and the current set-up. I will always keep an eye out for former players or managers, bloody hell there is a full section of this website dedicated to this so I can't be the only one, that does not make me stuck in the past. It makes me laugh that some people on here want Rangers to lose all the time and preach to everyone to move on and how they don't care about MW yet they are the same people that jump on every post about the man and seem determined to see him fail.

Some players or Managers leave under a cloud and obviously you want them to fail at every opportunity, but most move on for the right reasons and whilst I keep an eye on how MW does its no different than keeping an eye on Canos next season if he is not with us or Swift.

Excactly, only benham knows what the cryptic meaning for the video is but he can do what he likes. If it was a dig at warbs then good on him. Hes been called mad and stupid by journalists and fans from clubs round the country , including his own which he has given the best of times. On twitter i see people saying mb stabbed warbs in the back when if they get their head out of their arse theyll realise it was almost certainly the other way round, but benham has kept quiet. Its fantastic our owner has a sense of humour.

Of course he isn't, good on him, he's played a straight bat and allowed Warbs and his devotees to slag him and his club off, one little bit back is fine IMO.

Or Orient as some of the clowns dont seem to like that we're actually a half decent club these days instead of the tin-pot shower of piss we used to be.

I back Matthew Benham to the hilt, and will be forever grateful for what he has done and continues to do for the club I have followed for 63 years. Matthew Benham has made a dream come true, and the good thing is the dream has not as yet come to an end. That said, I also recognise the fact that Mark Warburton has been the best manager that in my time has ever managed (or coached) Brentford. Never ever in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that I would see such a standard of football played at Griffin Park by a Brentford side such as that played in 2014/15. Mark Warburton produced that Team and for that I shall ever be grateful to him for giving me the opportunity to witness such play. Why then can I not recognise what both of these men have done for my club and continue to be thankful for what they have done. I am just sad that they appeared to fall out and part in such a difficult manner. We move on, but please do not expect me to support one and not the other when they have both been good for Brentford and I will wish them both well in whatever they may do from hereon and if that means giving mild support Rangers then I will. I was sorry that they lost to Hibernian but glad that they are back in the SP, I also hope that Rangers win the SP next season. My thanks and best wishes go to both Matthew and Mark.

"Mark Warburton produced that Team" and "but please do not expect me to support one and not the other" two strange quotes, I thought.

I did agree with a lot of it , not 100%.But i do wish MW all the best in their future as he was a superb manager in my opinion.

Could bee a lot worse. Rather MB over that mouthpiece pikey at Posh / non payer of bills at Forest or Leeds and plenty others!

Heres a question and would be an interesting poll. Who would you rather? Matthew Benham or Mark Warburton at BFC?

Do you seriously think Warburton would go anywhere near Brentford without Benham's money?

Not meaning to be rude, but anyone suggesting MW over MB in this poll is a lunatic !

Of course he wouldnt. Just a large amount of fans especially on twitter seem to think MW is the messiah and MB is selling our club down the proverbial.
 

Matthew Benham

If we ever play Rangers in a friendly might be an idea to have a neutral section for our more tired and emotional fans
 

Matthew Benham

Can't understand why people are so upset about a comment on Twitter which may, or may not, have been a little dig at a former employee

Please face facts, MB has taken this club to a far better position than any of us could have dreamed about just a few short years ago. During that time he has appointed Scott who got us promoted, Rossler who started the revolution, Warbs who took us to the next level and now, after a few hiccups Smith who has got us to 9th in the championship

During Warbs time he went for another job, fact. Refused to bring in players, fact and then leaked a story to his mates in the press saying he was being sacked, fact.

He did very well for us of that there is no doubt, however he has successfully manipulated the press to put him in a very good light with the result that MB, the guy ultimately responsible for our success, has had to put up with loads of grief on Social media.

Personally don't care how well or otherwise Warbs does North of the Birder, what does stuck in my throat is the adulation he seems to still get on here whereas his History with us shows his feet of clay!!

Those posters now moaning about his tweet are seriously in need of guidance, likewise those posters who seem to think he could do no wrong!!!
 

Matthew Benham

Whos to say dean smith wouldnt of achieved what warbs achieved or even bettered it. Its all if buts and maybes. Benham gave warbs his place in the spotlight and it took less than a year for him to start looking elsewhere.
 

Matthew Benham

I was absolutely mortified when I heard that David Gray had scored the winner for Hibs. Mainly because before this I assumed it was a reference to Canos being this years love and he was coming back.

As for Ranagers and Warburton couldn't give a sh*t, and whilst I loved the time and under Warburton and he's one of my favourite managers of all time, if people honestly believe that everything that happened was all down to Benham and nothing to do with Warburton they are naïve at best.

Warbs is a master of PR/Politics hence why he was so successful in banking before football - I'd suggest Benham's silence is more because he knows that anything he says will get spun.
 

Matthew Benham

I don't really understand why Benham would bother having a dig at Warbs if that's what that was? We've moved on, he's moved on..end of!

Maybe everyone is thinking that MBs message was a negative against MW. If I'm not mistaken, Alan Stubbs was a good friend to Brentford whilst at Everton and sent us Bidwell and Forshaw (not sure if he was still there for Long but also the other youngster who broke his leg). Maybe this was all about happiness for Stubbs.

If it was then its because of the endless crap he receives off the press and our own fans for saint Warburton.

Is that right? Didn't know that about the Beesotted lads, but maybe that's because I also had a bit of a sabbatical when I first moved away and had kids.

Im almost expecting front page news in the Daily Fail, saying what a despicable act this is from MB and that MW has done NOTHING to deserve this horrific treatment and they are starting a campaign to have MB banned from social media, or indeed ever talking again.
I guess thats their only way of keeping "Their truth" out there.

I can remember on a couple of occasions one of them coming on here saying he'd had enough and wasn't coming back until Rosenior, Butcher, Scott or whoever had gone. To the best of my knowledge he did boycott some games too because he had fallen "out of love" with his club.
Beesotted were always around when we were sh*t, because best part of 60 years we were. They also progressed to a more online format and moved away from the standard printed fanzine.

If you say so.

There were a number of years when you couldn't buy Beesotted and rarely saw either of them at Brentford.

TITS has been available every season since it started. Nick and/or Rich were always around.

I'm reminded of mountains and molehills! It does show that there are a few who only need the slightest thing to trigger their insecurity and that there are many who are prepared to jump on their bandwagon like sheep. Perhaps the best reaction is to ignore them and let them burn in their own fire.

EDIT: That does seem like a recommendation for a kebab!

I think you are seeing it like I am, the people getting most upset about MB's tweet are the people that have spent the whole season being upset about every chuffing thing anyway. it's ironic, it's pathetic but very funny IMO.

Pretty much sums up my view. I will always have some time for Warbs, because last season was so great, but there is no doubt he's a bit of an operator (with at least one dodgy character in tow) and I know whom I trust more! Don't give a sh*t about the tweet!
