Dyke on the future of Brentford...

Still reeling from the second sucessive attempt to gain promotion, it appears that Greg Dyke (with or without Martin Allen) is planning an assault on the Championship, stating the club needing 'to plan for the long term'.

Joining in January the former head of the BBC believes that Brentford successes could come from their ability to think ahead and move with the teams.

In a very Gerrard Houllier-esq way, Dyke believes the club should have a 'five year plan',

"What we must do now at Brentford is develop a five year plan"

"That means moving to a new stadium, paying off all the debts and building a team capable of getting us into the Championship"

With all the speculation surround the management position at the moment it appears that Dyke and the board will be looking for a new man to join there team. These statements also show Brentford intent to continue work on their earmarked Lionel Road site, for the new stadium.
