Isn't perspective a funny thing. I still see getting regularly beaten in the second tier as relatively good days, and reaching play offs as fantastic.My son's 18, and has had an ST since he was 7. He had to suffer the Sami Hyypia years, Palace play-off, etc., so not all wine and roses.
The article is weirdly man u slanted considering he had a trial with Liverpool. I thought that he chose us rather than Liverpool at the time anyway?How Brighton convinced Evan Ferguson to sign for them rather than his boyhood club Manchester United
FourFourTwo caught up with one of Brighton's key figures behind the scenes for our latest issuewww.fourfourtwo.com
Same. Just replying to someone saying that younger fans have only seen success, unlike us old farts.Isn't perspective a funny thing. I still see getting regularly beaten in the second tier as relatively good days, and reaching play offs as fantastic.
"Pound for pound, Brighton are one of the greatest teams in English football history."
Skip the rest and scroll down to point 10:
Premier League: 10 talking points from the weekend’s action
Onana not finding his passing range, Guardiola’s strikers thriving and Sheffield United must up tempowww.theguardian.com
Pound for pound, Brighton are one of the greatest teams in English football history. In the past 18 months, while enjoying unprecedented success, Brighton have made a profit of over £150m, and the starting XI that undressed Manchester United in their own fortress cost barely £20m. That’s less than Chelsea reportedly paid for Graham Potter, never mind any of Brighton’s players. It’s like watching a flyweight flatten a heavyweight – again and again and again. Brighton’s victory at Old Trafford was their 12th against a “big six” side in the last 18 months alone. They are defying logic, gravity and the culture of a league that burns money for a laugh. There have been shoestring success stories in the Premier League before, but never with a team that also plays football from the future. It can’t last for ever, so we should all appreciate – OK, Crystal Palace fans are exempt from this – a uniquely charming story. It will make a cracking book one day, especially if they finally reveal their transfer algorithm
I must have something in my eye......I literally just searched out this thread, to post the very same thing..
