I hear that every season ticket will come with a pack of nappies, Seagull-branded plastic bed sheets, and a Brighton and Hove Albion history book for fans to study. 😎
Even on this bit though, he didn't gut the backroom team. He took with him two staff, Bruno and Roberts. All of the rest were staff he brought with him to Brighton in the first place and you expect to leave with him.
My issue was more that those two chose to leave rather than with him for...
It seems like all their campaign priorities are targeting the right-leaning pensioner vote.

I think you're mistaking paper talk, agent talk, and fan talk for club talk. I for one have no idea what baskets in which we've placed our eggs. I'm not getting into any judgement on the process until it's concluded
Absolutely agree. It was always blown out of proportion anyway and, looking at what he actually said, I don't see much wrong with it. For starters, he never said "the fans needs a history lesson", he said "maybe I need a history lesson". A subtle difference, but an important one that's been lost...
A mid-table team that played most of the season without March, Mitoma, Enciso, Estupinan, Ferguson, Milner, Moder, Veltman and a 3 month spell without Pedro, Hinshelwood, Welbeck, Webster and Lamptey.
I'd argue that finishing mid-table whilst missing all those players is still a good...
"Claudio Ranieri announces retirement"
"Ranieri will take a step away from football, although it has not yet been confirmed if he is officially retiring"
Why would he rush it? He has a secure job at Ipswich, he's in demand. Whatever happens, he's got a good shout at a top job somewhere, either now or in the short term future. If I were him, I'd want to make damned certain that my next choice were the right one.
Chelsea and United are mega-money...
Welbeck has a good season last season
Dunk is still a strong defender, even if last season was his worst for a while
Veltman has had a decent season
Gross won both player of the season awards
Milner was actually really good until his injury
March and Moder, who knows?
Balanced with Pedro, van...
I don't think it makes a difference. United sacked LVG two days after he won the league cup, and they won the LC last season too. A trophy is great, but their league performance isn't masked by it
So it's more important to boo the manager than support the team? Weird approach, that.
In all honesty, and I've said this before, I'm very much in the "never go back" camp. Firmly so. That said, if Potter comes back he will 100% have my backing because I want Brighton to do well and creating a...
I don't think any reputable source (that I trust) have posted anything concrete on any of these managerial appointments. It's all the usual "X is believed to be top of Ys list" and "Bs representatives were seen in London and are believed to be speaking with B". It's all been bookie/Romano-driven...
Enthused? No. Intrigued, hell yeah. I find the whole process fascinating and I'm convinced that a lot of the media speculation is just that: speculation. Most of it is based on easily manipulated odds on betting sites and we've not confirmed any active interest in anyone.
The difference this...
They don't forget it, because it never happened. You persisting to retro-fit in a false narrative that he was a bad manager doesn't change the fact that he progressed us as a club considerably from the Hughton years and prior to 2022-23, delivered our highest EVER league position.
No-one is...
