Tony Bloom outlines evolving, investing vision for Brighton

Tony Bloom says Brighton must keep evolving, investing and innovating to keep pace with the Premier League’s elite. Setting out his plans in the first matchday programme of the season, he stressed that progress must not compromise the club’s principles.

According to TheArgus.co.uk, the chairman has overseen a busy summer in which Carlos Baleba is set to become the third key first-team departure to a Premier League rival. Bloom had ruled out a move last summer despite Manchester United’s interest, and United are now poised to pay a reported £70 million for the former Lille man.

Yankuba Minteh is wanted by Liverpool, while Brighton have reinforced for Fabian Hurzeler, the head coach backed by Bloom despite his inexperience. They have also paid a club-record £46 million to sign Luka Vuskovic from Spurs.

Bloom wrote that Brighton must keep pushing to improve on and off the pitch, acknowledging others have similar aims and greater resources. He said the club cannot stand still, and that a willingness to think differently will remain vital.

He took particular pride in maintaining progress while staying true to the club’s values. Four days after flying with supporters on an EasyJet service to the Tromso away game, he underlined that togetherness across fans, players, staff and the wider community remains central and will not be taken for granted. He then watched Albion open the league campaign by beating Aston Villa 4-0.
