Nah. Even removed Frank Lampard just to try and save some people from FURIOUSLY groaning at the 0.2% chance he gets the job.
Wait. You think Brighton - sorry “we” - would employ Beale, OGS, Cocu or Parker to name but four?
Anyone who says we didn’t, didn’t watch us against Newcastle and Villa.You don't mean they have a.... plan b?
Unless, of course, playing one way against one type of opponent and another against a different type is really, in combination, a single Plan A.
As it happens, I didn't, but I wasn't being serious anyway.
Hence the enormous row of laughing emojis.

My interest has been perked.
Although they have European football next season so may be harder to tempt him.
I think our new manager will be amongst this list. I wouldn’t rule out Carlos Corberan.
I’ve deleted my search history.The idea of you googling “Brest Characteristics” is tremendous
There’s one clear conclusion we can draw from that table; staring us in the face.
We should play in red.

The annoying thing is that plan B got activated very late in the season when the stropping surliness had also been reined in. Shame it didn’t happen earlier in the season, we might then be going into next season with the same manager and with a higher placed finish, maybe even Europe again
Yes, completely changing tactics with half the squad injured and games on Thursday and Sunday should be a complete doddle,The annoying thing is that plan B got activated very late in the season when the stropping surliness had also been reined in.

Whereas being pig headed, sticking to the same style and being stroppy with it worked so well.
I am wasting my time here suggesting RDZ f***ed up with his refusal to change things earlier though aren’t I?
As I said, I find it a real shame as he may still be here if he’d done it imo.
The real frustration for me is that we spent a good chunk of the season not playing in the Europa league (and also not in either of the other cup competitions) and still didn't improve.
Partly because I obviously want us to do well, but also in large part because there was a golden opportunity to support my longstanding argument about the Europa league not making as much difference as most people insist it does.
Which is fair enough.
However, the frustrating thing for me was never having a settled squad. The injuries meant it was constantly changing. We did try changing tactics to accommodate that if everyone remembers We went three at the back, it was far worse than 4-2-3-1. It was also the only option at times, but he stuck with it for far too long. Ditto with changing keepers.
I’m certainly not claiming RDZ had a great 2024. He obviously didn’t. But anyone who thinks you can switch from one set of tactics or patterns to another when you don’t even know who’ll be fit to start really doesn’t understand football.
This is hilarious. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer? Wow. The fact that there so many random names on this list only proves the point that you’re trying to counter… that there are absolutely no standout candidates for the Brighton job and that the club will be betting the house on the next appointment. What will the bookmakers make of the betting market now?!

That the names are random to you really has no impact on their quality.

Good grief no and thrice no!
Ex Brighton, and his wife, Jo (nee Wilson) - who he met while he was here, was the leader of ‘Gullys Girls’ - the club’s cheerleading squad!
