The UNBELIEVABLE Rise Of Brighton And Hove Albion

[@danielgolds7240]

My favourite Brighton player would have to be Solly March, been with the club since 2011 and has seen us in our highs and lows as we nearly got relegated from the championship in the 14/15 season. Always been happy to help the team having played nearly every position along the front and having operated at both wing-back roles. never put up a fuss and has had many critics over the years but has always been a good contributor to the club, De Zerbi has now got the best out of him.

[@ahnafdrubo9727]

I had no idea he could be a top premier league player oneday. Always screamed championship to me but good on him to prove me wrong

As a Brighton fan since 1974, I was there in Newcastle 1979 and in the Cup final a few years later, but finally I can say this is the greatist Albion side I have ever seen!

[@Fierrosporcelular]

Not sure if you know this, but the Seagulls have 45 million new fans. The whole population of Argentina loves the Club for how well you treat our Ale Mac Allister. A fantastic Club for a World Champion like Ale. Now please rescue Leo Messi and Neymar from that dark whole known as PSG 😅❤🇦🇷

[@sebanovagaming]

People sleep on the impact of Caicedo on this Brighton team. I remember when he came on this team changed and became much more solid.

[@hamster4810]

He could easily transition to almost any top team. Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, City

[@Skelig]

Agreed, but it's worth remembering that Bissouma was lauded for the same thing before him. With Brighton's top tier recruiting, no player is truly indispensable at this club, because there will always be someone else coming in when one leaves. Same can be said for Cucurella, who left abruptly with no ready-to-go replacement - signed Estupinan at the last minute who honestly has been much better. Ben White, Dan Burn, and even Trossard in the last few games - players leave but the team never seems to suffer from it. I'm not worried about Caicedo leaving, but I hope he stays at least until the summer.

[@tomgibson1403]

Mitoma is such a good player I’m so glad we’ve got him for better than trossard

[@T10-e4m]

The glue to it all is Tony Bloom, a fan that prioritises the club's success over his financial gain. They've lost their DOF, all the coaching staff, head of scouting, record signing had to retire at 24, several players bought from other clubs and the club always has a back up plan. They always expect the unexpected.

[@theseagulls7035]

My club since 1967. Can’t believe how far we have come. Thanks uncle Tony.

[@christiantovar-vargas6655]

I have been following Brighton since they got promoted to the Premier League and got laughed at by my soccer team colleagues (I worked for a USL Championship team in the USA) when I told them who I support. I'm so happy that I have continued to support them and now our USA audience is getting progressively bigger. I hope we sustain our success and become a consistent force for years to come. Favorite player: the legend Glenn Murray. 100 goals and helped us get to Wembley in 2019. Close second to the skipper Lewis Dunk, whom is consistently overlooked for England.

[@stephentyas4698]

good choice.A shame Lewis did get picked for England recently but couldn't play due to injury.

Saw them at the Withdean and it was my worse visit to any football club . Been quietly getting on with it and went back a couple of years ago - really lovely stadium and thoroughly enjoyed . All power to Tony Bloom , isn’t that the sort of owner every club hopes for ?

[@randombanter8872]

I saw Brighton v Luton at the crappy Withdean Stadium in horizontal rain…. Had a wobble, but look at us now! 😊

[@BadgerOff32]

Our rise goes far deeper than this video even comes close to explaining though. I started supporting Brighton as a 12 year old in 1994 when we were in the old 3rd division (now League 2) and we still played at the Goldstone Ground. 4 years later in 98, we very nearly got relegated from the football league, only surviving with a draw on the final day of the season, had nowhere to play the following season because our board had sold our ground, and we came VERY close to going out of business altogether. If it weren't for the fans rallying together, we wouldn't have survived. Two seasons in exile playing our 'home' games 70 miles away in Gillingham, followed by 12 bleak (yet admittedly fairly successful) years playing at the godawful Withdean Stadium, that, at it's peak, had a capacity of about 8,500. Only 1,000 of which was actually permanent seating, the other 7,500 was made out of bloody temporary scaffolding with absolutely no protection from rain that were literally taken apart when we weren't playing and were used at major golf tournaments! We had porta-cabins as changing rooms and toilets, and burger vans for catering.....we were a bit of a laughing stock of a club. All the while we were fighting with the government and local council over the right to build a new stadium and spending basically every penny we had on endless appeals and campaigns and proposals etc. We were skint, and we even had it written on our shirts! (we were literally sponsored by FatBoySlim's record label 'Skint') To see where we are now, flying high in the Premier League, playing in a fantastic stadium, with world class training facilities and a conveyor belt of talent at our disposal, and often being referred to as "the most exciting team in England", it's actually quite a staggering turnaround, and one I never thought I'd see in my lifetime! While Tony Bloom rightly takes a lot of the credit for getting us where we are now (the guy is an absolute hero and a legend at our club), we also recognize everything that the previous owner Dick Knight did for us during the dark times too. He literally kept our club alive, and laid the groundwork for us to have a future. Tony Bloom took that foundation and helped us to fly!

The most ungrateful comment I've seen. He may have left, but know and regard who made you able to even have confidence to face teams like City, in form Liverpool and in form Chelsea. Without Potter you would have been a glorified Sheffield Wednesday. Be grateful. De Zerbi is only benefitting from Potter's already done work

[@indiekiddrugpatrol3117]

It's crazy how a small club like Brighton can be run so well yet illustrious clubs like Wednesday, Derby, Bolton etc find it so difficult to effectively run themselves despite having way more experience playing at the highest level

[@rickiesgucci4814]

they have a good system throughout the entire management. The owner himself cares about the club so he makes sure everything works

[@captvimes]

We learnt a very important lesson when we were asset stripped by a our then owner. It came down to 1 goal on the last day of the season that saved us from relegation out of the league. Dick Knight saved us by getting the club out of evil hands. We have been very careful since then and we are very lucky to have Tony.

[@stephennewton2777]

Genuine question, do any of clubs you’ve mentioned still have active senior managers who were around when they plated at the highest level? If not then they don’t have experience, just memories.

[@timphillips9954]

A small club compated to Wednesday, Derby, Bolton etc are you having a laugh, look at the league attendences in the Championship, on a par with Wednesday, and Derby and on a different level to teams like Bolton. In conclusion The Albion have grown so far since then it is hard to believe the progress we have made and the potential the club has is fantastic,UTA!

[@indiekiddrugpatrol3117]

@@timphillips9954 you're comparing their attendance in the premiership during their golden age to those clubs attendances in league 1. Brighton would get a fraction of their attendance if thy were as shit as these clubs currently are.

[@aperrin9727]

The criticism we got from so many in the media when hughton was sacked. People saying we deserved to be relegated. Where are they now.

[@Skelig]

Agreed, even as a Brighton supporter it was tough to swallow at the time considering how much he'd given us, but the board had a vision for how they wanted to play and ultimately he was sacked only because it was time for a change in style rather than as punishment for the team's performances. It's crazy how quickly Brighton turned into a high tempo attacking team considering the park the bus stuff we had under Hughton, so it was unquestionably the right call.

[@adamclark1972uk]

Five coaches have done a great job in bringing Brighton on. Poyet, Garcia, Hughes, Potter and now De Zerbi.

On his bank manager’s advice Potter left for Chelsea (now known as Chelsea & Hove Albion as they just need to buy our Tea lady and the changing room light fittings to replicate what we have). Nobody held a gun to his head, the move was mostly down to money and ego. Going to a top six club comes with risks, particularly when you drift down to mid table. When Potter bought his “big club” to the Amex and watched them get routed 4-1, a score which let’s be honest flattered Chelsea, the fans reaction was almost as good as the result, but not as good as the obvious glee of the Brighton players and staff.

Ive liked Brighton for a number of years despite being a leicester fan because they play a similar brand of football as Leicester has in their back to back 5th place seasons. free flowing open and attacking and overlooked by just about all the casual prem fans. That being said, really ought not to overreact too badly. You've seen what has happened to Leicester in the past 2 seasons. Its so difficult to break into the top 6 on a regular basis. Lets just not get too ahead of ourselves, as I recall a lot of the same things were said about my club with their recent success, it can go bad quite quickly.

I think Chelsea will not be patient and fire him which will be their loss.

Fuck him, more to football than money is what he used to say, until a large chunk of it was waved under his nose. The only reason I hope he doesn't fail completely is that Boehly will probably come for De Zerbi if he does. I hope he thoroughly tests Boehly's and Chelsea fans patience though.
