Unbelievable. In 1956, Len Shackleton's biography contained a chapter that was titled "The Average Director's Knowledge of Football", and it consisted of a single blank page. Clearly nothing much has changed since then.
They should brighton up a bit really...This comment on the BBC caught my eye
Funny but all too true.
Most of their fans commenting believe relegation next Season is inevitable
Christ that's harsh.
I think West Brom may have found their new Manager.
Remember whenSouthamptom sacked Adkins, their best manager for decades and replaced him by a nobody called Pochettino? We all though they were crazy.Unless they've got someone pretty impressive lined up this could be an utterly stupid move.
What did Brighton expect? Chris is a solid manager, if he's backed with a proper squad and the right resources I've got no doubt whatsoever that he'll do bloody well in the Premier League. He might have to go to another Championship club with some clout and get them promoted if one comes available, but wherever he ends up will be lucky to have him.
The people in charge at Brighton are ambitious, they've got the smart modern stadium and got to the Premier league and I don't think they are satisfied with just surviving they want to be at least at Watford or Southampton level which despite a scare this season are premier league fixtures.
On that basis whether or not this is the right decision I guess it shouldn't surprise us, I'm not convinced it is the right decision but it'll be interesting to see who they bring in.
You can’t blame a board for being ambitious. Maybe they’d had expectations and he missed his target so they’ve decided it’s to e for something new
Yup, you can’t blame them for wanting to try something else. They’ve been pretty awful this season, and as others have said were quite lucky not to go down.
It’s harsh on Chris Hughton, but I’d imagine he will get another job. I wonder if he’d go back to Newcastle if Benitez leaves.
Further to that, I wonder if Rafa would be tempted by Brighton.
