    Penfold and Ashley

    Says we cant upgrade the training facilities/academy as the money needs to be spent on improving the 1st team.
    They really dont help themselves.He had a dig at Rafa and Rafa responded.Ashley offered to let an independent auditor look at the books,he has been taken up on that offer.When Rafa was here Ashley said he could have every penny the club generated and then paid him self over 30m back from his so called loan.
    Here is a thought,maximise our advertising revenue instead of letting Sh1te Direct have all that advertising for 2m a season.Anyone says that Ashley doesnt benefit from it is thick as mince.If that's the case why does that amount need to be plastered everywhere if it's no benefit.
    Also Rafa was supposedly offered 60m plus player sales.Well there still should be 30-40m left so use that on the training facilities and academy and let's try and unearth more Longstaffs,try and find the next Shearer.

    Aye. Penfold said we would like to have a swimming pool and water facilities can't afford that and players...sorry like but building that doesn't cost the price of one Prem player.

    They've f00ked themselves again with recent press releases and are making things worse trying to fix things. Clueless.

    It's true that one lie can send you into a spiral.

    Yes you only have to ask a certain one on here to confirm that.

    Down here in Brighton, in addition to the Amex Stadium, the club recently built a state of the art training and academy complex in Lancing.

    Now they have announced a massive new development of the facilities in Lancing, including new pitches, changing rooms, gym etc for the women's team.

    And I would be prepared to bet they have spent more on players in the past two seasons than Ashley has.

    This is BRIGHTON for God's sake - a team that has had just two seasons worth of Premier money and was until recently a Division One club.

    Brighton's owner has one thing Ashley will never have.
    Ambition
