Considering its a 39 million limit over 3 seasons starting this season i suspect not very.
We don't have an (FFP) loss of anything remotely close to that though.
39 million over 3 seasons start this season. The 25 million loss relates to last season and around 13 million of that will be ffp loss
Ok fair enough don't need to sell to balance the books but a few players will want top league football. Too lazy to add that

Fair points from most of them.
The occasional 'they're in massive debt and need to sell their players' comments are great though.
Seems everybody has jumped on this 25M loss announcement without actually understanding it.

For 2015-16 in the Championship, the maximum permitted loss for FFP purposes was £13 million. The Albion has just announced that they were compliant (ie, their FFP loss did not exceed £13 million).
For 2016-17 onwards, there are new rules which mean that losses will be assessed over 3 seasons; the club have to submit a forecast for the current campaign in March. So, in March 2017, Albion will have to project their FFP result for 2016-17, and this will be used in conjunction with the actual results for 2014-15 and 2015-16 to determine compliance.
Given that the allowable loss over the 3 seasons will be £39 million, it is inconceivable that Albion will be close to failing FFP at the end of this season (unless, of course, we splash out on Luis Suarez this month).
There is a very good explanation of FFP here - Financial Fair Play Explained - Championship rules 2016/17

Interesting reading and a LOT of love for CH. We really ARE fortunate to have him at the club. Hope he stays around for ages...
Another nugget I saw was [MENTION=232]Simster[/MENTION] suggesting we are signing Murray this month. Wishful thinking, ITK or have I missed something?

"Lower gate receipts than us"

They should check their facts really. 26k average in a 40k seater stadium is hardly what you'd expect from MASSIVE WEDNESDAY

Read every comment so far and on the whole a fair response. I agree that we have built steadily over the last 5 seasons and this one we have risked the budget. But typical Brighton under Chris, done the right way;
Don't cash in on selling players and adding that extra quality needed to get us hopefully over the line.
Genius! The man is a Genius!!

Are their tickets more expensive than ours? We have more ST holders so they will have more POTG supporters, who generally pay a premium for doing so!

Sheffield Wednesday
and what's this shit about them having higher gate receipts?
No idea, the gates are about the same. Are their prices higher? Unlikely I would have thought, if so Barber OUT!
I particularly liked this one:
"A better transfer policy. They don't sign 8 players in the hope that 2 of them will make the starting 11, thereby squandering vital resoutces.
A manager who has been there, done that.
In May, the championship title."
Knows his stuff, that chap!

We haven't 'risked the budget' though.

Silly old bat
I've seen tweets from several different fans claiming that we're cheating ffp, and buying our way into the Premier League.
In the context of modern football, Sheffield Wednesday and Brighton and Hove Albion arguing who has bigger crowds and gate receipts is like two tramps arguing who smells less of piss.

I particularly like the one that likens Dunk to "a flipping giraffe" - in a complimentary way!
