It's true that money talks in the Premier League with TV deals, global marketing and mega wealthy owners all feeding into a vast industry.
Albion are on a smaller scale compared to many in the top flight but still operate with an annual turnover of close to £150m.
Chairman and owner Tony Bloom has careful manged their rise and the club try to make their money work harder than most. They have made some astute signings in the transfer market of late which should see them in a healthy position for the next few seasons at least.
Brighton sold Ben White - one of their prize assets - last summer for £50m to Arsenal and they also have a number of other star players on their books with Yves Bissouma, Tariq Lamptey, Leo Trossard, Adam Webster and Rob Sanchez players who would all command substantial transfer fees.
