Pointless chasing de zerbi. Brighton are currently better placed to achieve success than we are. Maybe the board need to have a look at how/why Brighton and Brentford are punching given their finances… part of the (realisation of ) painful rebuild

They’re not though are they. They will sell 2-3 big players this season and they may replace one with an equal level of player, but that will eventually dry up. Unless they get huge investment and can keep hold of their best players eventually they will start to dwindle. There are a lot of similarities with Leicester for me.

What was it Danny Blanchflower said again? Something similar wasn’t it.

Manchester United appointed a manager who many think has shown less than Slot, and he’s done pretty well at a club with astronomical expectations.

Besides, despite only playing well maybe twice all season we still were in contention for top four until a few weeks ago. It wouldn’t require that much of an improvement to get fans onside, and I’d be staggered if anyone could make it worse without some sort of match fixing syndicate being involved.

Twice? When was that. I want to know the games I missed

Contract renewal at Feyernoord announcement incoming

Followed by Spurs PR:
“We didn’t speak to or were ever interested in Slot… we’d also like to a announce our new Manager Brendan Potter”

Hugely optimistic to think we'll announce a manager in that statement

OMG, an admitteldy great win away to the scum and suddenly people are banging the De Zerbi drum with a vigour previously unseen. The spunk stains on my signed photo of Cheryl from Bucks Fizz has more common sense than some of you

Whenever there is a consensus in here on who we want to take over, I think back to 2014 when the SC hive-mind was convinced Frank de Boer should be our manager

This is the famous quote by the legend Danny Blanchflower:

"The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It is nothing of the kind. The game is about glory, it is about doing things in style and with a flourish, about going out and beating the lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom."

That's only until you win a trophy and then want more to add.
Poch will be forgotten about in years to come though a trophy would always be there!

 

[Impspur1]

We are not getting De Zerbi, no way he leaves Brighton to take a step down to us

For those that disagreed, curious as to what is that based on? because apart from stadium size and facilities we are a step down when looking at football infrastructure, scouting, players league position, style of football etc etc etc

Not exactly the same but close.

Blanchflower's "game is about glory" quote is often misconstrued as implying that style is more important than winning.

Blanchflower was all about having a winning mentality. He also said "winning isn't everything but wanting to win is!". It's the way you should go out and win that should be glorious. Go and take the victory don't just wait for it to come to you by luck.

Yes and we had a manager that uses this special Xmas tree formation and look how that ended up ffs

I'm confident that I'll remember the Poch era more fondly than the Graham era.

How much you got riding on Slot?

Honestly I couldn't disagree more!

Nail on the head right there. I had more joy supporting Spurs under Harry and Poch than when we were managed by Juande Ramos!

They've won nothing recently, we've won nothing recently.

4 of their 5 seasons in the Prem has been finishes 15th or lower. One top six finish doesn't change that.

Well it is about time Levy was making his mind up about the new coach.

But based on the here and now. They look to be a club on the up and we most definitely are not. We face the real possibility of fighting for 6/7/8th next season which we as a club will not accept, Brighton will be happy just doing Brighton stuff.

Be a hero for a season or two at Brighton and maybe get a big gig somewhere or come here and get the chop in 18 months because you haven’t been backed and finished 7th.

 

[Joshua shepherd]

They’re really not better placed for success than us. Their best players, coaches, back room staff etc.. will continually be poached. As impressive as their structure is there is a glass ceiling with these teams that doesn’t exist to the same extent with us.

We’ve had no tangible success for 15 years. In the next 3 years, Brighton are in a better place to win a trophy than we are right now.

The glass ceiling exists but FA cup, league cup and el/ecl trophies all come before you hit the glass ceiling in Brighton’s case.

That's flavour of the month thinking.

2 seasons in the top 10 doesn't mean or change much.
