“A small version of Santa Monica in Los Angeles. There is a roller coaster. We have been in that many times.
“A number of players were surprised that I exchanged Ajax for Brighton, for only £900k.
“And yes, you can think with Ajax, you play Champions League every season and not even European at Brighton.”
