Brentford boss Thomas Frank insists they can stay up this season despite their tiny budget.

The Bees kicked off the Premier League season last night with victory over Arsenal.

Regarding their finances, Frank said: "We are rock bottom, I think we can all agree. Well, there's the bottom, and then there's us under the bottom.

"But we believe that we have made a team that can compete, and we have made three good signings based on the same model with young exciting players that we can develop further. We have ten minutes of Premier League experience in the squad, but we have a huge belief that we can surprise people, and that is the belief that we go out with.

"I believe that we are hopefully not the ones who end up as number 20, but that is not something we think about at all. We have not set a goal of survival or anything. We have two focus points, which is to win the next match and then end up as high as possible. That's all we think about."
