The head coach and captain are all sent away! The revenue exceeds 100 million euros. What is the operation of the Premier League nail account? Can it be demolished and rebuilt?

This summer's transfer window, Brentford in the Premier League has completely changed. This little bee army, once known as the "nail owner in the middle of the Premier League", is crazily conducting a "large clearance of assets". In less than two months, the captain, the top card and goalkeeper left the team one after another. Even the team's soul and meritorious coach Thomas Frank waved goodbye and rushed to Tottenham to pick up the coaching stick of this pseudo-rich family! Is this going to be demolished and rebuilt? Are you not satisfied with the positioning of the midfield team? Do you want to compete for a seat in the Champions League?

In the past two months, Brentford has earned more than 100 million pounds by selling core players, but they have completely removed the backbone of the team for four years. Reconstruction is imminent, can the Bees still stabilize the Premier League seat, or are they quietly embarking on the downhill of sliding towards the Championship?

sent away the four core players

goalkeeper Fleken left the team, causing the defense to lose the last stable barrier;

captain Nellgao left the team, allowing the locker room to be completely replaced;

winger Mbewumo, the team's first output point in the forward line, is about to transfer for more than 50 million pounds;

not to mention the most critical thing, coach Thomas Frank switched to Tottenham, and a piece of compensation was exchanged for 10 million pounds.

These names have almost run through all the glory of Brentford's last four Premier League seasons. From becoming a dark horse in the Super League to a permanent garrison in the Premier League, the Bees have established a stable and efficient 4-3-3 system under Frank. Relying on the fierce and compact style of playing in the "Nordic Legion" and firmly ranked in the middle of the Premier League for several consecutive seasons.

Now, all this has been reshuffled. The player's core line has been taken away and the tactical system is facing reconstruction. What's even more terrible is that the fuse of all this was Frank's departure, not Brentford's active choice, but "passive acceptance".

Reconstruction Road is opened, new coach, newcomer, new hope?

After Thomas Frank said goodbye, the club quickly straightened out former assistant coach Andrews took over the coaching stick. The 41-year-old English young coach has participated in tactical formulation in the first team for a long time and is closely related to Frank. He is in a "original" continuation type in style. But ideals are ideals, reality is cruel after all. Andrews' challenge is huge: he holds a 50 million euro signing budget in his hand, but he must fill the major vacancy in three lines in a short time.

First bought out the young central defender Kayode from Fiorentina to improve the vitality of the defensive; later Feyenoord introduced the "winter Rockets" Milanbo, intending to replace Mbeoumo; and signed Kellech, who is regarded as the "second goalkeeper in England" from Liverpool; and exempted from signing former Reds captain and experienced midfield veteran Henderson. These new players spent a total of about 50 million euros, forming the first generation of "reconstruction template" for Brentford's new season. Can the new coach Andrews gain a foothold? Can new players quickly integrate into the system? Is their "star-making logic" effective? Or, is the little bee really going to prepare to welcome the call of the English Championship this time?
