"Judas Saltor" probably lives closer to the AMEX than you do (Vilamoura, Portugal). How come you don't live near Brighton if you expect others to stay there forever?

These.
It's an important distinction, I think.
We as fan love the club. The definition of the club is quite nebulous though, almost ship of Theseus like.
A player that is playing well and is integral to our team's success is lionised and idolised. If he suffers a loss of form and becomes an anchor on our progress we'll want him out of the team and happily have him out of the club.
So we're loyal to the club but only temporarily to those that make up the club in a practical sense. Players, managers, owners, even grounds come and go so what's left is the fans. We are the heart and soul of the club. The bricks and mortar, the players and staff are the corporeal body of the club.

It's Bruno who has broken my heart and my faith in human character. ( Ben Roberts as well, a little ).
Of all the people in the world I would have thought would have turned down the temptation of even bigger money it was Bruno. He was revered in Brighton. His family is completely settled here. He seemed the sort of person to understand that when it comes to money, enough is a feast.
I now know that absolutely everyone has a price at which they can be bought.

Survival of the fattest I'm afraid.
Give him a five-year £60m deal with Chelsea and we'll see.

Dunk went “on strike” once when he couldn’t force through a transfer to Fulham.

I have to confess, if I was offered £60 million to be a fan of another team I would certainly consider it!

100%. Absolutely shocking performance by the OP, spouted as though it was some incredible revelation he’d experienced. In addition, there ain’t that much loyalty amongst our fans, hundreds on the train home with 10 minutes left to play, thousands gone as GP clapped empty seats at full time. No wonder he scarpered to Chelsea.

I consider myself to be a very loyal fan of BHA, but if someone offered me £60M to go a support Crystal Palace for 5 years, I think I probably would.

Where I now live has absolutely **** all to do with my loyalty to the club, you troll.
Disagree. If you're "once a seagull, always a seagull" you have to stay with the club forever, or so I've heard, meaning moving to another country is obviously a no-go
Moving perhaps was good for your career or your life, but you can't prioritise those things if you're "always a seagull". Or so I've heard.

Some players are more loyal than others. Namely, Dunk, Knockaert etc

Stop trolling. Last warning.

I am a lifelong fan of the club. I am still a fan of the club. I have not switched allegiance to Chelsea, Swansea or Ostersunds and I never will. I am a Seagull forever Disagree all you want. You are behaving like an internet troll.

Don't pay any attention to that guy. It's always just about him. Engaging him just fills his empty days. This is a guy with a perfectly functional asperational football club just down the road from his mum's basement. Why he doesn't bless THEM with his godlike football big brain genius is a matter for him and his therapist. Guy could really do with a permanent ban from here. Partially for our sakes, but mainly for his sake. Guy needs professional help
I'm not trolling - I'm urging you to demand from people (like Bruno) what you fail to live up to yourselves.
People demand that Bruno stay in Brighton forever regardless of what is best for his career and his life yet if they get a good job offer in Taiwan or something, they're off as soon as they can rather than take a job as a street sweeper in Brighton so they can stay close to the club forever.
The only reason why you consider it "trolling" is because you are who you are - someone making excuses on behalf of someone putting up hateful notes against other people because they're not living up to the standards you've not lived up to yourself.
If pointing out the absurd level of hypocrisy is a banable offense, then go for it.
Coming from the right guy, eh?
