I'm not listening but I know he's invested in some of the off field stuff like the training ground.At this point I think he needs to invest some money in addition to reinvesting transfers fees for us to go up.
I was under the impression most of the Hamer fee had gone on the running costs and the training ground development? I appreciate that if he hadn’t come in we likely would have sold Gyokeres and Hamer in January rather than the summer.I'm not listening but I know he's invested in some of the off field stuff like the training ground.
And if we're making money from transfers, let's use that. We're trying to be self-sustaining after all.
We need the balance don't we - investment into the playing squad (ideally solely through using fees to bring in new players) without relying on an owner we're forever in debt to and who could call it in at any time.
I don’t think he has the money to put millions in each season and even if he did it’s not sustainable.At this point I think he needs to invest some money in addition to reinvesting transfers fees for us to go up.

I agree but if he’s going to set public targets like playoffs 3 times in 5 years with promotion in that time, we need more depth in the squad that will likely require investment rather than just reinvestment.I don’t think he has the money to put millions in each season and even if he did it’s not sustainable.
How do you know he’s invested his own money in the training ground?I'm not listening but I know he's invested in some of the off field stuff like the training ground.

He's talked about how it was him investing in the training groundHow do you know he’s invested his own money in the training ground?
And how much was invested anyhows?
Not sure that’s true. We’ve improved gradually over several seasons developing and selling players. This season has seen a focus on facilities and back room staff which will hopefully pay dividends in the future. If we’re stagnant in 2 - 4 seasons I’ll agree.I agree but if he’s going to set public targets like playoffs 3 times in 5 years with promotion in that time, we need more depth in the squad that will likely require investment rather than just reinvestment.
On this interview?He's talked about how it was him investing in the training ground
NoAny mention of when they're going to get season tickets on sale?
in the pastOn this interview?
They've done all the promo for it, something was going on last week. Will be imminent I guess.Any mention of when they're going to get season tickets on sale?
I don't the exact details but I'm pretty sure he's spent some of his own money. If the Hamer fee was going on running costs etc, then what has the ST money, merch sales, sponsorship, TV revenue etc been spent on.I was under the impression most of the Hamer fee had gone on the running costs and the training ground development? I appreciate that if he hadn’t come in we likely would have sold Gyokeres and Hamer in January rather than the summer.
Because I've heard it from a couple of sources. One of which I'm sure was one of his interviews...can't remember which one to be fair.How do you know he’s invested his own money in the training ground?
And how much was invested anyhows?
we were running at a 7m loss - so over 2 seasons that would be the hamer money - then there were the 2 january signingsI don't the exact details but I'm pretty sure he's spent some of his own money. If the Hamer fee was going on running costs etc, then what has the ST money, merch sales, sponsorship, TV revenue etc been spent on.
I'm fairly confident that we'll have money to spend this summer, even if Vik doesn't move/Sheaf doesn't get sold.
Would be good for them to release info ASAP really so people can budget accordingly.They've done all the promo for it, something was going on last week. Will be imminent I guess.
I guess we'll see come the summer.we were running at a 7m loss - so over 2 seasons that would be the hamer money - then there were the 2 january signings
a couple of wembley trips and some extra ticket money aside we are probably reliant on the vik money to have a substantial budget for next season

I’m sure it will be out in due course. I’m confident the club are aware there’s another season after the summer.Would be good for them to release info ASAP really so people can budget accordingly.
He did yeah.Because I've heard it from a couple of sources. One of which I'm sure was one of his interviews...can't remember which one to be fair.
Right at the start he suggested that.Because I've heard it from a couple of sources. One of which I'm sure was one of his interviews...can't remember which one to be fair.

3 times in 5 years - we’re not off target are we?I agree but if he’s going to set public targets like playoffs 3 times in 5 years with promotion in that time, we need more depth in the squad that will likely require investment rather than just reinvestment.
3 times in 5 years - we’re not off target are we?
It’s not unreasonable to get some bodies in for next season and have a right go at playoffs with a flirtation of automatics.
We’ve achieved a lot this season and a lot of younger players will naturally develop and improve.
We have invested, but it’s short term thinking of ‘investment’ to you just means the playing staff. Our training facilities are ancient and there’s things to update at the CBS as well as the playing staff.
There are day to day running costs, we are carrying debt and are running at a loss. Things might be going in the right direction but we are still running at a loss.
Yes there is it’s just the fans don’t like it.
You buy young talented players and sell them for more money a couple of years on . Brighton made £120m + last season.
There certainly isn’t a sustainable model if you expect to retain your best players …..
