Brighton have had a massive net spend compared to Saints over recent years funded in part by their 'sugar daddy' by Tony Bloom. This image is a couple of years old, but illustrates the point...
What do you mean 'see who is right'? I was not the one making a claim... you were! All I did was question you on your claim, I did not say I believed the opposite to be the case.
Losing Pochettino and some key players in 2014 didn't stop Saints having a superb transfer window with a newly appointed manager of Koeman. Sadly the same can't be said of the summer appointments of Puel and Pellegrino and their respective summer transfer windows.
Could be worth a try. Saints can offer bigger personnel wages, a bigger wage budget for players and hopefully a bigger transfer budget than he has at Brentford. Plus there is the Rasmus Ankersen connection....
