There would be a lot positive for him moving to Brentford (it is a shithole as you say and one of the four pubs around the old Griffin Park was the HQ for the SW London Celtic supporters club - which was a shame as it was a decent boozer). A great set up there, and Frank is an excellent manager/coach. Their plan would also be to develop and sell him - their model so its an excellent foundation for a top move when he's around the 21 year old mark, having had a hell of a lot of experience by then for such a young lad.

Despite it being a celtic pub it's still a decent boozer to watch football tbh, last time I was down it was international week and they had all 4 of the home nations on at least 1 tv, anywhere else was just showing the engerlund game, Noel that runs it is a decent bloke too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fellow West Londoner? I don't know where Brentford have put Franks up but there are plenty of big houses by Kew, Chiswick, Gunnersbury (the NK embassy) and Ealing that would suit a professional player. I've a few Brentford pals and they seem to think a deal will happen. That said, there's an awful lot of chat surrounding the lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Rob Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I thought Brentford was a bit of a disappointing destination for Hickey, but on reflection, it’s probably a good move for him right now. If he goes to a properly big team, he is unlikely to be first choice at his age and will have to wait for his chance. At Brentford he is presumably being signed as a starter. If he can shine for them for a year or two, the massive move will come. (We won’t get anything from it, but hey, I’ll take the £2-3m we think we’ll get) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does deserve credit for this windfall though as well as he deserved to be punted and ripped for all the shan he brought in.
