Would question the bit on Brighton...

'True, there are occasional rays of light, even now. Atalanta’s success, in Italy and further afield, on less than one-eighth of Juve’s annual budget, has been a joy; but already, the vultures are circling and poised to strike. Brighton’s transformation from almost going out of the league altogether to thriving Premier League club with a magnificent stadium is a testament to their fans: surely the finest in England.'

For a start I wouldn't say they are 'thriving', and they would certainly not be a Premier League side if they didn't have an owner that's put c.£350m into the club since he's been there (inc. £169m on a new ground and training facilities)...
