[Albion] Fabian Hürzeler **SINGED 15/06/2024**

[A1X]

Delighted we’ve landed Fab Ian

 

[Bakero]

we're all
Hurzeler boys, Hurzler boys
Stone Island jackets and corduroys
Hurzeler boys, Hurzeler boys
Looking for the Palace to destroy

I'm singing that to the Spiderman tune. Not sure that's what you had in mind

 

[brighton_tom]

Hmm. I hope we set our sights a bit higher. Of course a lot depends on if we can keep our better players and the injury list clears up but if we can I can't see many of the teams that finished below us this season (plus Palace and the 3 new teams) finishing above us. So I reckon 10th and maybe higher.

Lower mid table is more about giving a new manager some breathing room to settle in. I would love a top 10 season, totally achievable, but I won’t be expecting it.

 

[Right Back]

It won’t be dull. After RDZ we needed to keep it exciting. It’s what we have got used to. I hope he will have an experienced coach alongside him.

[The Fits]

Huge risk but very exciting. Can't wait to see what he brings to the table.
Now some proper signings please.

 

[Zeberdi]

Geez....

Cheer up, lets be positive eh...
or at least try not bring everyone else down....

Here here … there’s been too many unpleasant undertones today …not everyone one is in a good place mentally, I know I’m not at the moment, so let’s at least be good to each other on here.

It doesn’t matter who was first, second or third choice - he was always going to be a project because of his inexperience in the EPL.

I hope every fan can support him or at least withhold criticism until we are floundering in 5th place next season.

 

[herecomesaregular]

Risky but fun, what's not to like. Excited for the season ahead. We have too many good players for a relegation battle even if he has a poor start.

 

[oldboyroy]

Fabian scores… for Spain

Exactly my thought

[Greg Bobkin]

Interesting that TB says “a standout candidate” but not the “first choice”

McKenna it was then.

Maybe there wasn't a first choice?

My wife (not into football) has only just seen his photo. She now demands that lyrics for the 'Stevie Sidwell song' are re-written with 'Fabian Hurzeler' replacing SS. As if she'd have a chance!

 

[Midget]

Either a) that's obvious from the reporting over the last few weeks, or b) all the reporting and rumours were bollocks and we could have been looking at any number of people who'd be considered "standout candidates".

Or c) after saying last time we'd got our preferred candidate, it led to everyone assuming McKenna was first choice this time and all the associated reporting and rumours, which probably made negotiations for both McKenna (if they ever happened) and Hürzeler more difficult... so we're trying to avoid something similar next time by making it less of a thing...?

 

[studio150]

RDZ but with a better goal difference from set-pieces, its going to be fun watching.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Great news

 

[brighton_tom]

I assume some of the other coaching staff he brings will be from St Pauli? Still negotiating their compensation?

 

[carlzeiss]

I'm team Fabian . get in there

At least people would go back to the spirit of the original and want German *kids* too. Wanting German hair doesn't make sense. On any level.

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

So who do we want as coach for the 26/27 season?
