Season summary

Jo Kuffour top-scored in his single season with Brentford.

After defeat in the 2006 League One play-off semi-finals,[1] Brentford were rocked by the resignation of popular manager Martin Allen on 30 May 2006,[2] who stated he "had taken the club as far as I could and felt it was right for me to leave".[3] Chairman Greg Dyke revealed that, despite an FA Cup run and the £500,000 sale of DJ Campbell during 2005–06 season, Allen's departure was due to the reduction of the cash-strapped club's wage budget for 2006–07.[4] Chief scout John Griffin handled first team affairs until the appointment of Leroy Rosenior as manager on 14 June.[5][6] Despite the off-season sales of star players Jay Tabb, Michael Turner and Sam Sodje generating upwards of £1,000,000, Rosenior was forced to bring in players on free transfers.[7] A new spine for the team was assembled from central defenders Adam Griffiths and Matthew Heywood, midfielder Thomas Pinault and forwards Jo Kuffour and Chris Moore.[7] Goalkeeper Stuart Nelson, full backs Andy Frampton and Kevin O'Connor, midfielders Ólafur Ingi Skúlason, Paul Brooker, Alex Rhodes and forwards Lloyd Owusu and Calum Willock remained from Martin Allen's first-choice squad from the previous season,[8] though Owusu would miss much of the campaign with a groin injury.[9]

Brentford enjoyed a good start to the season, going undefeated in eight matches and rising as high as fourth in the table.[10] A 2–0 league defeat to Swansea City on 12 September began a sharp downturn in fortunes, with Rosenior forced to turn to youngsters John Mousinho, Clark Masters, Darius Charles, Ryan Peters, Karleigh Osborne and Karle Carder-Andrews to cover for injuries to eight senior players.[11] After injury to Calum Willock and a loss of form from Chris Moore, incoming forwards Clyde Wijnhard and Fola Onibuje failed to readdress the team's goalscoring problems.[7] After a winless run of 16 games which dropped Brentford into the League One relegation zone,[10] Leroy Rosenior was sacked as manager after a 4–0 home defeat to Crewe Alexandra on 18 November.[12]

Youth team manager Scott B. Fitzgerald took over from Rosenior on a caretaker basis and was later given the job on a permanent basis until the end of the season.[13] Off the field there was a glimmer of hope in January 2007, when supporter Matthew Benham paid out nearly £3 million to take over some of the club's loans.[14] Despite a clear-out, an influx of signings and an additional goal threat from emerging youngster Charlie Ide,[7] rookie manager Fitzgerald fared little better than his predecessor, winning just four of 24 matches before his departure after Brentford's relegation was confirmed on 9 April.[10][15] Head of Youth Barry Quin took caretaker charge for the final four matches of the season and despite a first win in over two months,[15] Brentford finished the campaign bottom of League One.[10]

As of January 2021, 2006–07 is the only season in which Brentford has finished bottom of a division of the Football League.[1] The club finished with the worst away, overall attacking, overall defensive and home defensive records in League One, in addition to the lowest overall and lowest home goal differences.[16] Club records set during the season included those of:[1][17]

• Fewest Football League wins in a season: 8
• Fewest Football League home wins in a season: 5 (tied with 1946–47)
• Most home Football League goals conceded in a season: 41
• Lowest negative home goal difference in a Football League season: -17
• Fewest points in a Football League season (3 points for a win): 37
• Lowest winning percentage in a Football League season: 17.39%
• Lowest winning percentage in a Football League season (all competitions): 15.686%[nb 1]
