Top 23 Quotes & Sayings by Andrea Radrizzani

As a model, I look at clubs like Brighton and the success they've achieved gradually on a sustainable budget. I want to take a similar approach.

A club like ours loses £8-10m every year to be competitive, and nobody wants to keep a business that is losing money every year.
