“It is hard to say why I love the club. But I do.
“It stems from the top down – from the chairman to the chefs and dinner ladies. The club is really tightly knit. I don’t think it’s like that everywhere, but at Brighton, we all just get along.”
As March says this, his pride is palpable. He remembers this is the club that gave him his big chance. But the ambition remains.
“I’ve never been close to leaving the club,” he confirms. “But there are always aspirations to play for as big a club as you can. No disrespect to Brighton, but if that opportunity comes, I will try and take it. I don’t think that’s too bad to say.”
Brighton are aspirational too and according to March, they’re aiming to “break into the top half.”
March believes “this is achievable within the next year or so”,

This is the same article - syndicated to The Guardian - that was published in the Set Piece a week or two ago. And discussed via

Its a great piece written by 15 year old Charlie Rowan
Guardian have framed his rather innocuous line about wanting to play for a bigger club as the headline - he's also very gushing about his loyalty and love for the Albion

So it’s all complete bullshit then if March said that. He was signing for Soton in Jan 2016 window but he did his knee, he’d agreed to the move, I know this from a source VERY close to it who I completely trust.

I don't really see a problem with what he's said. We all know players have ambition – everyone does.

The only way he will get a move (when he's fit again) is putting in top performances week in, week out, for Brighton. So it's a win-win because he helps the club and then gets sold for a profit.

It's all very well bigging up the youth players and buying young talent in, but if there are established players in front of them, then they'll never break through properly. The new model for the club seems to be something like a conveyer belt with players being developed and then sold on for a profit. Some of these might be established in the first team when they go (which might be the case with Biss in the summer) and others might not get near the first team, but go through the loan system and then leave without making a PL appearance.

Good luck to them – players will always come and go
