Matt1892 Posted January 23, 2024 Share Posted January 23, 2024 I think people forget how small of a club Brighton are in football terms, I don’t mean that in a disrespectful way either as what they have done is unbelievable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A combination of all of the above and as others have suggested I think there is a significant amount of debt held against the club too. Just for clarification I’m not having a go, or diminishing their achievement at all. Just rebalancing some of the narrative out there surrounding them, that it’s been done without any significant financial investment, which is factually incorrect.

What happened at Southampton will eventually happen there. They'll have 3-4 seasons around where they are but all it takes is one summer where the summer buys don't click after selling their best players, and they crash down the table.

True. Until two seasons ago they had spent as much time in the 4th tier as the first. Over the course of their history, their average position has been about 4th in the 3rd tier. On a par with Barnsley certainly, or possibly Grimsby, Plymouth, Hull, Bradford and Rotherham. Unlike those other towns, however, Brighton has long had a booming population and economy.

Cf Posted January 23, 2024 Share Posted January 23, 2024 3 hours ago, SUPERTOON said: Think De Zebri has been the key to taking them to the next level. They where no better than mid table under Potter. Potter had them up to 9th and they were 4th when he left (albeit early in the season). They were on an upward trajectory. Not to knock on the job De Zerbi is doing but don't think it's out of the question Potter gets them to 6th last season as well. He really did choose a bad time to leave though I can see why he did.

The Prophet Posted January 23, 2024 Share Posted January 23, 2024 Aye, Maguire et al seem to think we're within FFP, but need wiggle room if we want to buy. Joelinton being out long term means we need to buy.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if we were able to get two through the door in the remaining few days. Anyone we do sign, their clubs won't have time to replace them, meaning the fees would be in the 'cant turn down' region - which doesnt suit us. Can't see either leaving on that basis. Unless we have to sell to comply with FFP, which would be ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Just to make sure we are not breaking the shitty rules the PL have put in place so our takeover went through. I have no doubts that it only went through because we agreed to be squeaky clean. Convinced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghandis Flip-Flop Posted January 23, 2024 Share Posted January 23, 2024 By all accounts we may be skirting close to our PSR limits, but this sale if it goes through will be to free up wiggle room to allow us to bring other players in his window, following a Joelinton’s surgery. Not because we were fearing a points deduction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll find it FAR less sensationalist than much of the media reporting about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted January 23, 2024 Share Posted January 23, 2024 Do nowt this window and we're OK ffp wise, but if we want to sign anyone we need to sell. It's mo worse or better than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already have Tripps replacement in Tino and with the 45m or so it seems like we can go out and get MGW as Miggy's replacement and stay within FFP.
