The club finished the season as champions after victory over runners-up Cambridge United on the final day. Season summary thumb|upright|Lloyd Owusu, a £25,000 buy from non-League football, finished the season as top scorer with 25 goals. After relegation to the Third Division at the end of the previous season, the ownership of Brentford changed hands for the second year in succession, when Ron Noades took over the club as owner and chairman during the 1998 off-season.Croxford Lane Waterman 2013 270 Noades installed himself as manager and appointed a three-man coaching team of Ray Lewington, Terry Bullivant and Brian Sparrow.Croxford Lane Waterman 2013 270 Nearly £1.5 million was spent on assembling almost an entirely new starting lineup, with goalkeeper Jason Pearcey, defenders Danny Boxall, Darren Powell, Rob Quinn and Hermann Hreiðarsson (the club's then-record £750,000 signing),Brentford Football Club Official Matchday Magazine versus Hull City 7 May 2005 46–47 midfielders Martin Rowlands and Tony Folan and forwards Lloyd Owusu and Darren Freeman added to the ranks. 9 wins in the opening 13 league matches put the Bees firmly in control at the top of the table, though three successive defeats in the midst of the run temporarily dropped the club back to 7th place.Brentford results for the 1998–1999 season http://www.statto.com/football/teams/brentford/1998-1999/results live https://web.archive.org/web/20160426234542/http://www.statto.com/football/teams/brentford/1998-1999/results 26 April 2016 22 April 2016 Statto.com There was some early-season excitement in the League Cup, with a 4–2 aggregate victory over First Division club West Bromwich Albion in the first round setting up a two-legged tie with Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur. 3–2 defeats in each of the two legs (with Brentford taking the lead in both matches) ended the run, with memorable goals being scored by Andy Scott, Darren Freeman and Lloyd Owusu.Latest Brentford Results, Fixtures & Betting Odds http://www.soccerbase.com/teams/team.sd?season_id=127&team_id=378&teamTabs=results&season_id=128 22 April 2016 Soccer Base Three league defeats in a four-match spell in November and injuries and suspensions to Andy Scott, Darren Powell, Danny Boxall, Jamie Bates and Martin Rowlands led Noades to further strengthen the squad with forward Leo Fortune-West and midfielder Gavin Mahon. Though Fortune-West would be sold on a matter of months later, Mahon replaced Warren Aspinall in midfield and remained an ever-present until the end of the season.Haynes Graham Timeless Bees: Brentford F.C. Who's Who 1920–2006 Coumbe Frank Yore Publications 2006 978-0955294914 99 Five wins in the following six league matches saw the club begin 1999 firmly placed in the automatic promotion places. A spell of just one win from a spell of seven league matches in January and February saw Noades reach for the chequebook again and sign forward Scott Partridge from Torquay United for £100,000. With the purchase of new captain Paul Evans and buoyed by the goalscoring of Partridge and Owusu, the Bees went undefeated from late February through to early May. The club secured automatic promotion back to the Second Division with two matches to spare after a 3–0 victory over Exeter City on 1 May.English Division Three Table on Saturday 1st May 1999 http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/division-three/1998-1999/table/1999-05-01 live https://web.archive.org/web/20160426232858/http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/division-three/1998-1999/table/1999-05-01 26 April 2016 22 April 2016 Statto.com A 4–1 win over Swansea City in the following match returned Brentford to the top of the table for the first time since 20 October 1998.
