We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Sir Jack Hayward — Sir Jack Hayward was primarily associated with Wolverhampton Wanderers, not Brighton & Hove Albion, and there is no established canon of him being a transformative investor in Brighton during the early 1980s.
Sir Jack Hayward — The claim that Hayward enabled Brighton to break transfer records for non-league and lower-division clubs is not supported by known Brighton history; the club's notable transfer records in that era were not linked to Hayward.
Joe Kinnear — The entry states Brighton were relegated to the Third Division at the end of the 1982–83 season, but they were actually relegated to the Second Division.
Sid Wetherall — Sid Wetherall was not the first professional manager of Brighton & Hove Albion; the club's first professional manager was John 'Jack' Robson, appointed in 1901.
Sid Wetherall — The club's election to the Football League Third Division South occurred in 1920, but Wetherall was not the manager at that time; he resigned in 1919 and was succeeded by Charles Webb.
Gus Poyet — The entry incorrectly states that Brighton secured their place in the Championship by winning the League One play-off final in 2011; in fact, Brighton won the League One title automatically that season and did not play in the League One play-off final.
Gus Poyet — The 'DID YOU KNOW' claim that Poyet led Brighton to a play-off final victory at Wembley is false; Poyet never won a play-off final at Wembley with Brighton.
Glenn Murray — Glenn Murray is Brighton's third all-time leading goalscorer, not second. Tommy Cook is first, and Peter Ward is second.
Glenn Murray — Glenn Murray did not assist the winning goal in the 2017 Championship play-off final. He scored the winning goal himself (a penalty) in the 1-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday.
Gary Stevens — Gary Stevens played for Brighton from 1988 to 1997, not 1985 to 1997.
Gary Stevens — Gary Stevens made 290 league appearances and 336 in all competitions for Brighton, not 400 league appearances and 461 in all competitions.
Dave Jones — Brighton & Hove Albion's promotion to the Premier League occurred in 2017, not 2015.
Dave Jones — Chris Hughton took charge of Brighton in December 2014, but the club's promotion was in 2017, not 2015.
Harry Redknapp — Harry Redknapp resigned from Brighton in November 2001, not November 2000.
Harry Redknapp — The claim that Redknapp is one of only two managers to have resigned from Brighton while the club was in the third tier is inaccurate; several others, including Chris Cattlin, have done so.
