It is fairly common knowledge that when DK took over his own personal wealth was about £2m and was insufficient to keep the club afloat. Due to finance we had to do a deal to come back to Brighton apart from the obvious wish to return. This was only made possible by a few men like Fatboy, Bill Brown Robbie Ragerrio (sp) etc putting in substantial amount but none actually putting in sufficient to gain control until TB came to the fore. DK was for want of another word the front man and may I add did a great job in the fight for Falmer but none of this would have been possible without many supporters, some very wealthy, putting in money.
When we first arrived at The Amex I was talking to a very high up man at The Albion and asked the question of TBs wealth and was told not too far behind Abramovich without the show and also that when placing in the foundations for the stadium they were sufficient to take another tier all round to make the capacity if needed 50k plus. I just put all that down to beer talking but often wonder. I am not sure whether or not that is b......t so have never mentioned it. It is possible that it was a fishing tale based on truth but exagerated each time it was told.
