Indeed and thats what I hate about AFC!
first they changed the pattern that we had till AFC 2004, and went to 07, 11, 15, and 19; reason “not to overlap with UEFA !?!
and then they changed the cup from a late summer event into a spring event, reason “to please Persian Gulf nations and avoid events in hot weather” !?! idk, ppl can argue abt this but I wished the old format would be back. Yes I understand playing in UAE in hot summer is not desirable, but AFC can coordinate better with sister confederations UEFA and elsewhere for better arrangements... my two cents...

e.g. Guardian front page announces Muto to Newcastle: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Isn't it because Brighton has less media exposure than other EPL clubs?

He didn't really say no though? That would be the case only if your 2 homegrown players leave. Are they?

Yeah they'll both almost definitely be leaving

yesterday JB posted a picture in his insta story with a brighton jersey in a locker room saying "first day in the office" , meaning he is already training there. Saturday brighton will play a friendly against Birmingham. Maybe ARJ could get some minutes there
