If we cannot make a profit at the amex what are the long term options?

"Stadium", not "stadia". There's only one Amex.

The question is nonsense. The Amex reduces losses, not increase them. Championship football causes the losses.

A different question might have been valid. As championship football clubs lose ten million pounds a year on average, and Tony won't be around forever, what are the alternatives?

And a smart person would realise that the main two are:
Drop down a division or two, or
Try to get the club breaking even in the championship by maximising revenues (including by having a grata stadium) and maximising revenue from players by having one of the country's best young player academies.

I wonder which one Tony will choose?

"The question is nonsense" - what a damn fool thing to say - especially as you then go ahead and answer it. Yes, the question applies to all (or certainly most) championship clubs, so therefore that includes Brighton, about whom the question was asked.

Whilst RotR gets a lot of abuse on NSC, and that may well be at times deserved, I think the gist of his OP is perfectly valid. Football as whole cannot sustain the losses it makes.

The bubble has to burst, it's not a question of if, but more when.

But Brighton revenues had never been higher record crowds,record corporate income,this income my never be generated at this levels again,the players budget was sensible and yet the losses totally dwarf the debt that made us lose the goldstone,we are clinging to the goodwill and generosity of one man. God bless him and keep him on board and his business healthy.
