Plough hundreds of millions into the club, just not as much as the big clubs
Plough hundreds of millions into the club, just not as much as the big clubsTo get this thread back on track, can someone define what exactly the “Brighton/Brentford model” is?
There are some on here who seem to suggest changing our newish scouting system, Dean Austin for one will make us better, do you agree ?We had a scouting system before the current ones...
Ironic you are saying others are wrong.

Brighton buy develop and then sell on, they sell big every year.To get this thread back on track, can someone define what exactly the “Brighton/Brentford model” is?

Mr Bloom is certainly a canny guy, just how much Brighton FC get from these mega deals we’ll never know.Be funded by professional gamblers
I don’t think we had a scouting system anything like what’s being developed now, but that doesn’t really bother me it’s these suggestions that getting rid of Dean Austin will make things better, I take it you agree we should, correct ?What's that got to do with what I said?
You said we didn't have scouting before Dean Austin, I said you were incorrect.
Today is Monday, do you agree?

Buy players cheap and sell for profit. Rinse repeat. We've blown our wad and will be back to freebees and loans in 2 seasons.To get this thread back on track, can someone define what exactly the “Brighton/Brentford model” is?
So you’re suggesting we don’t follow this model? You want us not to sign cheap players?Buy players cheap and sell for profit. Rinse repeat. We've blown our wad and will be back to freebees and loans in 2 seasons.
Thanks for insights.Mr Bloom is certainly a canny guy, just how much Brighton FC get from these mega deals we’ll never know.
We signed Gyokores and Hamer for 2 million combined......but under the new regime we paid 4.5 million for a 5th choice centre half.So you’re suggesting we don’t follow this model? You want us not to sign cheap players?
Brighton's is something like £400m isn't itPlough hundreds of millions into the club, just not as much as the big clubs
Down to Robins then ??We signed Gyokores and Hamer for 2 million combined......but under the new regime we paid 4.5 million for a 5th choice centre half.
Well by my reckoning we have signed eleven players since January how many of them are better than what we had ?More doesn’t necessarily mean better
So what on earth are you talking about “models” for then? Aren’t the signings of Hamer and Vik in line with the model?We signed Gyokores and Hamer for 2 million combined......but under the new regime we paid 4.5 million for a 5th choice centre half.
You ain't the brightest are you? We've been incrementally improving for years, spending within our means and making profit from player sales, this season we've spanked millions and millions on players I very much doubt will double or triple in value.So what on earth are you talking about “models” for then? Aren’t the signings of Hamer and Vik in line with the model?
You’re not happy that we’re not winning games. Fine. But stop trying to apportion blame for it because your logic is clearly lacking.
BadlandDown to Robins then ??
So what are you suggesting we should have done? Spent less? Then moaning myrtles like you would be shitting the forum up with posts about how King pocketed the cash from our sales!You ain't the brightest are you? We've been incrementally improving for years, spending within our means and making profit from player sales, this season we've spanked millions and millions on players I very much doubt will double or triple in value.
OK OK. Explain how we've gone from the lowest spenders in the league to one of the highest (which will be a one off). Hardly incremental. We had 30 million to invest and we've wasted it. I very much doubt we'll get money like that to spend again.So what are you suggesting we should have done? Spent less? Then moaning myrtles like you would be shitting the forum up with posts about how King pocketed the cash from our sales!
And we have been incrementing it. With the exception of Wright our signings are 2,3,4m instead of the 0-2m we spent in previous years.
Explain? We sold our two best players (unavoidable when they were both on their last contracted year) and reinvested the money.OK OK.

You forget Hyam Fadz O'Hare Hamer, Sheaf and Gyokores cost less combined that Wright. Our new recruitment team must be happy with that. But according to you, that's a good thing. The delusion is sickly.So what are you suggesting we should have done? Spent less?

Invest it wisely. Low risk high reward. Rather than spunk it all in one window and not be any better.Explain? We sold our two best players (unavoidable when they were both on their last contracted year) and reinvested the money.
What are you suggesting we should have done? Not spent it?
Why would we sit on the cash? Again, there would’ve been widespread outrage if we didn’t spend after selling our best players.Invest it wisely. Low risk high reward. Rather than spunk it all in one window and not be any better.
And that's the reason you have a massive overdraft.Why would we sit on the cash? Again, there would’ve been widespread outrage if we didn’t spend after selling our best players.
If we could reliably sign £10-£20m quality players for £1-2m we would have the best scouting department in the world.
Get a grip.
No idea what you’re prattling on about at this point.And that's the reason you have a massive overdraft.
We are still in profit,You ain't the brightest are you? We've been incrementally improving for years, spending within our means and making profit from player sales.
We are still in profit,
But the reason we don’t look like profiting right now is they’re not performing, which obviously wasn’t the intention.Not sure you get the point. To continue the trend means making profit on the players we have just bought. We might well make some on some of them (Van Ewick maybe).

If you’re going to criticise the “model” you need to critique the intentions, not the outcomes.
Really? So as long as the idea is 'I hope to sell this person on for more' - whatever else happens is absolutely fine? Odd take.If you’re going to criticise the “model” you need to critique the intentions, not the outcomes.
But we are shopping for the championship if we get promotion to the Premiership chances are we will be in the market for a whole load of new players again and it’s a totally different market.Not sure you get the point.

No. But most of the discussion here is lazy, centred on their lack of performance and with the benefit of hindsight.Really? So as long as the idea is 'I hope to sell this person on for more' - whatever else happens is absolutely fine? Odd take.
The players mentioned previously were signed in the Championship too, what are you talking about?But we are shopping for the championship if we get promotion to the Premiership chances are we will be in the market for a whole load of new players again and it’s a totally different market.
