What we really need is promotion, but for clubs like ours the Cup can be very lucrative, especially if there's a replay. Last year we drew at Southampton, which was great, even though we lost at home. The pain this time is that the match didn't get chosen for TV, because for this round you get £260,000, and that can transform a club like Brentford. Can you believe it? You've got the chairman and the former director-general on opposite sides and nobody at the BBC chose to televise the bloody game."
