I think you're missing the point. Yes I completely agree that we're lucky our owner is a fan, and it's his money not some investment group. But our success is not simply because we've spent more money than the teams below us. We haven't. When we got promotion from the Championship, we weren't one of the top few spenders.
And when we got to 6th, we weren't among the top 10 spenders. Our squad was relatively cheap.
Yes we love that Bloom is a local fan, but the real credit is how he's built an impressive squad while spending less than the opposition, using his data driven model to bring in people like Gross for £3m. I seem to remember us battering Everton 4-1 away, and our entire team cost the same as just one of their players.
That's what Jordan doesn't give us credit for. I've listened to his co-host praise Brighton's method and success, and him interject and say it's simply that we've spent £400m and we've simply bought the success. That's incorrect/disingenuous.
