Brighton owner Tony Bloom has earned a fortune through poker and has brought that acumen to help Seagulls’ rise
Bloom, who grew up watching Brighton with his grandfather Harry , invested £80 million in 2009 to help pay for the new stadium that will host AEK and remains the driving force behind the success at a club where there has also been a constant turnover of staff as well as players.
Bloom remains the constant in Brighton’s evolution, with the owner said to have introduced parameters such as rarely spending significant transfer fees on older players. He also has the final say on signings and, as Chelsea and others have discovered, is not the kind of owner to mess with around the negotiating table.
