    Brighton announced a profit of £122M, a record for a British football team. And that doesn't include the £140M they got from Chelsea for Caicedo and Sanchez, those deals will appear in next year's accounts.

    But still £400m in ‘debt’ to Tony Bloom. Which I guess won’t be called in ever.

    Profit profit blah blah blah.

    Can we get back to dreaming up Leicester doomsday scenarios.

    No. And a lot of that money went into a brand new stadium and a state of the art training facility, he has invested massively in infrastructure. If he left tomorrow he would leave behind a club transformed from what it was.

    It's a horrible stadium in th arse end of nowhere though.

    But probably one still only a couple of years of bad transfers away from the relegation fight.

  • stevepanorama_fish_eye

    Yes, obviously. That's true of any club, but it doesn't undo all that good work he has done to provide the club with a transformed infrastructure.

    He has also employed skilled and experienced people and let them do their jobs, which has paid dividends for him.

    I might have imagined this, but doesn't he own a company that does player data analytics and they get the best access to the data?

    That's Brentford, this fella is a professional gambler.

  • Lessredpanorama_fish_eye

    Apparently he does, he founded a company called Starlizard who they use.

    I think Brentford do similar? Aren't they both gamblers?

    It isn't though is it? They Sky 6 will never be anywhere near relegation.

    Same way Brighton will never be anywhere near winning the league.

    Don’t the Notts owners also own a player data company? Do they just get the shit ones?

  • trickylens

    I remember the old days when a player data company was called a good manager. Presumably there are also bad player data companies.

    The way they are going, I don't think it's impossible to see Chelsea being relegated in the next few years. They probably have to sell Gallgher and/or James this summer and James's injuries means they won't get full value for him. Their "clever" approach to amortization just means they have a load of transfer money tied up for the next half decade.
