Currently the 'One Ambition' appears to be to build a real estate portfolio.

"One Club, One Ambition"

- Start date
You can't go forwards every year, but what better year to go forwards than one with an extra 8 million coming into the club because of an outgoing player transfer
Might be easier if they chopped out half of the suits and hangers on

Not 15mil though really is it / was it... Fiddled that bit a bit mate
There's very little evidence of evolution in this league. Just take a look back over the past 10 seasons and see the vast majority of clubs have yo yo'd around, with the usual suspects coming down from Prem and going up and those coming up from L1 and then going down.
A club has to take it's chance when it gets it. We've had 2 and who knows when we get the next?
I'm sure someone like [MENTION=12595]Acker79[/MENTION] can give a fairly succinct answer on how many times clubs like Leeds, Forest, Derby, Leics, etc have featured in 10 years

Whilst the long term ambition may be to be settled in the Premiership, and thereby worth something to the owner, the route we look to be taking is a bit round the houses. It is clear that from the amount of money invested on the development side, we will have to wait some time whilst we develop players to play and sell. Whether or not the fans will be happy to keep contributing to this will depend on what fair they dosh up in the interim. So far we have had some good stuff but this season will be a tester.

When you pay top dollar for tickets, refreshments and every thing else associated with the club you tend to expect more than an ambition of mid table mediocrity
I don't disagree and I'm kind of happy about being in the Championship and the competitive nature of the league.
Problem with your hypotheses is that it's inconsistent with the PLR bollox we get rammed down our throat.
It should be N(nearly)PLR

Especially for a player we didn't need to sell, apparently.
That sounds great. Remind me why I renewed my season ticket?

We got to the cup final once too...... should we cling to that as well?
If the club truly believe that we can be competitive this season with the current squad (including Ward or not), they are in for a big, big surprise. I can't recall when we have looked quite as poor in pre-season games, so defensively frail and so toothless up front. As things stand, I've lowered my ambitions, and would now just be grateful to stay up.

One ambition? To take as much money as possible from supporters by charging top rates for tickets, food, drink and kit whilst providing them with only moderate entertainment on the pitch!
Think the ambition in the shop is to price everything at £45

If a Premier League club comes knocking there isn't much you can do if the player is intent on leaving.

Ugh. I used to work at a place with the slogan "One World. One future." and "One Club. One Ambition." is equally meaningless and corporate bullshit.
Of course it's one fecking club. It's not going to be two is it? Well done.
It's not ONE ambition either. It's many. We're fulfilling many of our ambitions now. Stadium. Training ground. Sustainability. They are part of a wider vision.
These things don't matter much in the wider scheme of things. I'd rather have a decent striker. But when I see "One Club. One Ambition" written in the most overused, generic font going it makes me die a little on the inside.
Stand or Fall. We are Brighton. Literally anything I can think of is better. Ok I'm done. Breathe.

You seem kind of complacent about the Albion's continuing presence in the Championship. Shouldn't be at all taken as a given. IMHO, like.

You can try using the money replacing him.
