Football: Brighton to reveal all
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Details of the deal struck between Dick Knight, the leader of the consortium trying to take over Brighton & Hove Albion, the club's co-owners, Bill Archer and Greg Stanley, and the mediators appointed by the Football Association will be made public at a news conference in London tomorrow.
Knight is expected to be named as the club's new chairman and it is also expected that Archer's proposed groundshare with Gillingham will be abandoned. It is understood Archer will remain on the board of directors with an interest in the new stadium project.
Stanley will still be a shareholder but will not be on the board, and the chief executive David Bellotti will leave the club. The Knight consortium has plans for Brighton to play home matches at Hove greyhound stadium until a new permanent football home is built.
