He had to reduce his stake in the club after Brighton made Europe, but I think they use them as a bit of a testing / learning ground. Make of that what you will. A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

Like Poojah stated they're partly owned by Tony Bloom who owns Brighton, but had to reduce his stake due to his involvement with Brighton and the laws regarding having dual ownership of two clubs competing in Europe.

Genuine question, to you and any other dissenting voices on this subject. I completely get that some may be disinterested in the notion of B Corp, or feel that it’s not particularly relevant in footballing circles, but what do you consider to be the downside to obtaining such a certification? The crux of the B Corp mission seems to be about certifying “mission-driven corporations that are committed to using their business as a force for good”. What negative is there in GTFC being considered in such a light? A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

It'll just be like angry men shouting into an empty valley.  They're not really sure who or what they're angry about or what they're even shouting about to start with.  But they just know it's something to shout about. Some people just like some form of anger to consume them in some way or another.
