Stunned at the figure for Brighton. Given their past woes I would have thought they would be more careful.

The fleetwood model is fine is you have an owner to swallow it. We don’t and JB shouldn’t be criticised for that, he should be applauded because he was there when no one else was.
That’s not to say we will ever compete and progress with this philosophy whilst other clubs continue as they are. We are lucky with Adams at present. But that certainly isn’t JBs fault.
