I think that the edge Brighton has is real but temporary. Bloom has to be eyeing an exit to a very well capitalized entity. The competition in the EPL doesn’t necessarily care about making a profit so teams that need to be sustainable can’t survive in the long term. Even mid and lower table teams are now mostly owned by what would have been considered incredibly wealthy owners 10 years ago but they can’t spend like oil countries can. It will be interesting what exit the Chelsea owners were expecting when they went in. Owning a premier league team is not the country club life that owning an American sports franchise is, it’s likely a money losing proposition.
