The Bonk Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 23 minutes ago, Manxst said: Don’t think Laudrup is/was much good? Quote The Dane joined the club at the beginning of the 2012-13 season and led them to ninth place in the Premier League, their highest finish ever in the top division's current format. He also guided the club to its first piece of silverware—the Capital One Cup—by beating Bradford City 5-0 at Wembley in February. Signings such as Ki Sung-Yueng, Pablo Hernandez, Chico Flores, Jonathan de Guzman and Michu became key starters for the side and Laudrup stayed true to the Swans' footballing philosophy—sparked by Paulo Sousa and Roberto Martinez, continued by Brendan Rodgers and developed in the cup-winning season. Went south pretty quickly after that, but to me and I'm sure most of us as NUFC supporters, that Cup win would be success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Would be devastated to be a Brighton fan, especially after such a good start. Seems odd for them to not spend just a little bit more over the past few seasons and have a real shot at Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to them tbh, it's too easy to get carried away then get left in a mountain of debt if it goes sideways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to them tbh, it's too easy to get carried away then get left in a mountain of debt if it goes sideways. The last analysis (a few months ago) showed they are about 400m in debt. Mostly owner provided loans, but there was nothing posted about how it got so high - the Amex only cost a quarter of that. Edit: Found it Swiss Ramble on Twitter: "Thread on Brighton and Hove Albion’s 2020/21 accounts, when they reduced their loss from £67m to £53m, as revenue rose £19m to club record £152m. Debt up to £374m, 4th highest in PL, mainly owed to owner Tony Bloom #BHAFC https://t.co/dFdIbcE1bU" / Twitter Edited September 8, 2022 by Teslact Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do feel for Brighton. They've essentially been ripped apart because they've done too well for themselves. I know we were a part of it, but still..
