They don't know the exact details of the formula and its secret recipe.

@aminerkin9844 🤣 what having competent scouts and good networking🤣 it's not a secret, there is no pressure on Brighton, that's why they can do it.

It's highly secretive how exactly they are doing it we no some detail but very little

All the best teams in the world spend huge money virtually every single summer. Lots of clubs want to be the next Man City or PSG or Red Bull Whatever and spend their way to the top. Not arguing against moneyball but Brighton and Brentford are not exactly winning the Champions League. Of course I'm not taking any shots at those clubs but just explaining why other clubs try to spend huge money. It doesn't always work out but neither does moneyball (Southampton).

The biggest innovation other clubs can take from them is that they look for consistency over a period of 30+ games regardless of what level they are playing

99% agree, Mitoma is the 1% though

Dan Ashworth had no part in recruitment at Brighton. He simply set up a system and put people in place to allow the staff to work together well.

yup hes much better than kyogo

He only did it for about a half a season last season and his price tag is probably already close to the 100m mark

i think the club conviced him to stay for another year.

​@@bonysminiatures3123haha that's funny

We literally saw the story play out on tv and Harry Redknapp has done plenty interviews about it

@@user-dq6se6er8j I would like a player inside story. From the players view and team mates view.

Mitoma is 26 and in a more saturated position

Mitoma is 5 years older and started ten less games.

Supply and demand. And age profile.

@@kb5509 being young does not mean you should go for world class prices. You see why Chelsea have fallen flat on their faces. In the history of football prospects never went for ridiculous money. It was akways when you were proven and in your prime from 24-27 age range. So your statement makes no sense

Mitoma worth about £80m in todays

It has been for 3 weeks it's the one about his contract

It’s from Entourage 😂😂

Bloom has stayed ahead of the curve for 20 years so far. Hard to think it wont contnue tbh

You still have to sign him. Which they did by Brighton's chief scout befriending this dad, as told by Mark Beard on Under the Cosh last week.

Facts if only he didnt fuck it up 😢

Bosman ruling

@@JASPADIGHOST I thought that meant that when the contract had come to an end the player could leave the club for free. Where as before the bosman ruling player were not allowed to leave the club with out a fee even when the contract had ended which is stupid but sounds like players now days can do whatever they like.

They literally explained it in the video. That was the whole point of the video.

The player can't rip it up. Neither can the club. But both parties can agree to change the contract if it suits them. Clubs absolutely can, and do, force players to fulfill their contracts, but it's rarely a good idea because the player will drop in performance (intentionally or not).

Where were Tottenham when he took charge? 15th? Bottom half most years?

@@kb5509 You do realise that Tottenham have a massive fanbase and are a huge club? When Levy took over the previous owners had mismanaged the club financially and Levy was VERY lucky that this century has seen a huge explosion in the global TV income for the Premier League. He has squandered this with poor decision making. One League Cup in 23 years. Is that success. p.s Tottenham had a few tough years in the late 90s but were near the top of the league from about 1980 to early 90s.

​@@subculture2006There's 5 or 6 massive clubs in the premier league who have even bigger budgets than Tottenham. Think Chelsea, City and United for example. Tottenham regularly finish in and around the top 4. I think they've done okay. Next level means next level investment and obviously the owners ENIC don't want to do that. Levy owns 10% of the club and has done fiscally well on and off the pitch against huge oil-rich teams.

PS. You could argue Dele Alli was a world class player after 6 months..... Hard to predict the future trajectory of players but I take your point.

@@iambeyondfake You're equating pure money spent with decision making. His decision making on all football matters has been generally appalling, whether hiring/firing managers, the club structure, the transfer market, when and when not to spend, and communication with the fans. He is a disaster. He may have got it right with Ange but even there history shows that he will not support him and the manager will eventually get sick of his s**t and leave/get fired.

Not from Brighton he isn't.

Mitoma on 10,000 per week while Antony on 400k per week is absolutely shocking. United are awful.

@@augustusplays7896 200k a week for someone who could be suspended isn’t a great look on United and I’m a Man U supporter so it sucks

Talking shit… get your facts right.

Not for long

Mitoma on 10,000 per week while Antony on 400k per week is absolutely shocking. United are awful.

Brighton do want to win the league though. How do Brighton compete against the massively wealthy clubs in regard to wages, status etc when they have nowhere near the financial clout? They have to think differently to Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool etc. This can only be achieved by being attractive to future stars as a pathway to that global stardom. Top youngsters globally now see Brighton as the destination club because of the opportunities they offer, the attention to detail paid by the club and the planning in their development. Mitoma’s replacement is already there; Adingra. Gilmour was already there to replace Caciedo. O’Mahoney is being readied to replace Ferguson. Brighton know who will be going a year in advance and get their successor in before it happens. No release clauses mean they don’t get caught out. If ( a big if) Brighton win the Europa League or get UCL, things may change, but they can NEVER compete the same way as the big clubs. Just look at the mess Everton are in (and Villa were) by following this method.

What’s good about Brighton is they seem genuinely upset every time they have to sell a big player and they only do it for huuuge money. I was surprised they let bissouma go for that price but impressed with how they pushed up caicedos price.

One thing to think of about Brighton, is they only sell someone if there is a replacement already in house. Sold Trossard, because Mitoma was there, and had taken his spot, and Adringa was on the way. Sold MacAllister because we had Gilmour. Sold Bissouma, becuase we had Caicedo and so on... There is a plan. Otherwise, no reason to sell, despite all the plastic fans screaming on social media.

​@@AndrewAHyndWell, every team does that. They have to replace someone they sell mate 🤣.

​@@syberdieforloveyoure slightly missing the point. Brighton don't sell under the replacement is there, whereas lots of teams sell and then try to find the replacement - that puts them in a much worse bargaining position.

@@syberdieforlove Whoosh...that noise is the point going right over your head. The players are already there before anyone leaves, tahts the difference. They dont replace them, the replacement is already there. Then, they go and sign that person replacement, send them on loan if needed and so they are ready to step in when the next player moves on. Brighton are thinking 2-3-4 steps down the road. Thats what makes them so smart.

Brentford* owner used to be an employee of the Brighton* owner

Wrong way round , Benham practically stole blooms formula and created a copy company

Brentford employed by Brighton and Tony Bloom actually

Things changed at Southampton when the owner died. His daughter didn’t have the same passion and sold the club to ‘investors’ They were purely in it for the money and status and the youth/ recruitment suffered. The same happened at Leicester after the owner died and his son took over.

@ goldstoneghost2861 De verbi won’t be at Brighton next season.

@@HdHd-hp6qz Yes he will. Plenty move on to ‘big’ clubs and it goes tits up. He wants to build and win something before making the next move, which will likely be City

@ goldstoneghost2861 Man Utd

@@HdHd-hp6qz ETH will still be there. RDZ has won nothing and 3/4 of a season in the EPL. The only thing he has proven in his management career is loyalty. Not many stay in a city under attack to make sure all the foreign players have got out before leaving themselves. As long as Bloom supports his ambition, things will be fine.
