This gets said a lot about Brighton though doesn't it, but the difference is the model is coming from the owner, so until he sells up it seems very unlikely they'll move away from a very successful model, and they'll continue to hire staff that fit within it.
I can't imagine they'll hire managers and backroom staff and let them rip it all up.
He's not only done it at Brighton either has he, so I think he's showing it'll likely continue the way it has with perhaps varying degrees of success/profit.
