Probably because their chairman hasn't been chasing an increasingly unrealistic pipe dream for 20-odd years, which would only benefit his family, whilst wilfully neglecting the club itself.
Charming. I know several, myself included, who appreciated the plight of Brighton in your dark days, and on several occasions visited the Withdean to support you guys where possible. But thank your support.
Unfortunately the man abandoned the wheel a decade ago chasing his stadium pipe dream, and what we've watched is a slow car crash ever since. Given the club's debts (to him), there's virtually no prospect of a buy out, and and even if there were, he won't sell until he gets housing on Roots Hall...
