Come on, a year before Bruno and Potter joined Chelsea they had won the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup and were FIFA world club champions! Hardly a team where everything always went wrong!

[Albion] Would you welcome Bruno back ?

The fact is that if he could add to the coaching set up and improve our team, I would welcome him back. What will never change is that he had the opportunity to cement his legendary status with fans but gambled on going with Potter. We are emotional and sensitive as fans but the leadership is much more pragmatic.
He's definitely got coaching badges:
Used Irish FA as it is a couple of grand cheaper than English FA for the course
This old chestnut again. Maybe no guarantee but also highly unlikely to have been given the boot in reality.
Glenn joined Crystal Palace and was a huge factor in them being promoted. There was some spectacular hrumphing when he did return…and was a major factor in the Albion being promoted.
The thread title is ‘would you welcome BURNO back?’ rather than whether or not it is a good decision. IMO if Tony Bloom offers him a job I’d welcome him back. I’m not sure anyone is claiming we desperately need Bruno, or anyone else for that matter.

I make a point of cutting out any people who have ever left the company I work for to move to a place with a better salary. I can't have mercenaries surrounding me. You don't take a job for money. You take it because we would all work 7 days a week if we could choose.
Bruno should have stayed loyal to Brighton. Since growing up on the streets of the Costa Del Seagol, learning football by kicking a ball against the pavillion as a child, all he has known is Brighton.

In a word, no, and neither will Tony Bloom.
I'm 99% certain you literally don't know shit about Bruno as a coach. Have you seen one single training session with him coaching some exercise?
If TB, PB etc. feel Bruno could bring something, then the only thing blocking it is the bloodthirsty long-winded Neanderthals that can't understand the desire to secure the future of your kids, grandkids and their kids and still several years later keep tight to their imbecile grudges. Jesus, grow the f*** up.
They had just sacked their manager who won them the Champions League!! It was always going to be a car crash, with a new American owner who knew nothing about football. Pretty much everyone called it at the time.
You are a bellend. Your last bit is just complete nonsense, as usual, and you clearly haven’t read anything I’ve written saying that I have made similar decisions to him in my own career. I’d also wager you have never hired / fired people yourself.
Anyway, why don’t you do another weird video about it with a shirt that doesn’t fit?
Who are you suggesting is blocking this? Because Bloom et al won't be making decisions based on NSC

It’s just a shame Bloom has to run his decisions past them first, I guess.
I was watching one of the interviews for one of the new women's players and she said Bruno showed her around Brighton. Can't remember which video it was or where I listened to it otherwise I would post it. Of course I could have dreamt the whole thing as well.

I think you are attempting to re-write history here, there were undoubtably concerns about getting rid of Tunchel and bringing in the relatively inexperienced Potter, however there were a lot of reports at the time and since then to suggest that he had lost the majority of the dressing room.
Boehly came In June 2022, Potter signed in September (3/4 months later) and during that time Chelsea hardly played any competitive games. Simply not enough time for anyone to make an objective decision about the new ownership.
Of course they give a shit about fan opinion, of course they look into that, because if they'd announce his return and there's 10k idiots moaning about it, it has implications on his life and his job. Its very naive to think they wouldn't care in this particular situation.

By the sounds of it, it wasn't arranged by the club, I think she said that a member of her management team knew Bruno and arranged it with him directly.

Would he have had a job guaranteed had he stayed, or would he have been ditched to make way for RDZ’s team? Genuine question and I don‘t expect anybody to be ITK!
Go back and look at the threads on here at the time. Everyone was saying there is no way this is going to work out!
He had worked for us for TEN YEARS! I don't understand why people don't get that you can't just kick someone out your company as soon as their face doesn't fit anymore! People are talking as if RDZ was going to walk in and give him his P45 and then that would be the end of his pay cheques from the Albion and he'd be unemployed with no income.
