Very good so far, captures well the cover-up/bury heads in the sand approach of the Soviet machine. Similar happened with Kursk a few years later.

I think Keogh can only get full redemption by helping Derby to the Prem via the playoffs, and time is running out for the lad. Been a great club servant but is I'm sure haunted by that mistake for the 10-man QPR Zamora goal. Derby really gave found a spectacular number of different ways to not...

'We're on the march with Adolf's army...' I'll get my coat.

I think this is one to quickly move on from now there has been an apology. Kick It Out are a fine organisation, this was a mistake made in frustration and yes, it did cause reputational damage which is when it can get legal. But I suspect the club would have been very reluctant to go all the way...

That has gone very, very close to a full-blown defamation action by the looks of it. The club have nailed it in that release over their long term commitment to Kick It Out's goals and programmes. Fair play, you can't just go out and falsely damage people's reputation in such a public way and get...

The Adolf headline potential is frightening. Most of them highly offensive, probably...

Good to see the Argus acknowledging this (presuming its correct). Particularly since they have been branding idiots any fans questioning results, performances, tactics, manager, players, board and recruitment for months. I'm guessing they won't call Tony Bloom a naive, impatient, unrealistic...

I'd be absolutely amazed if part of Hughton's brief wasn't 'consolidation in the PL' and it hasn't been, it has been regression. Add to that that you are clearly going to look more at the last 5 months than the first 4 with a view to next season and I don't think anyone, including Hughton...

It is all well argued and I agree with a lot of that. But don't forget, we have survived since losing to Cardiff because they then lost to Fulham and Palace. They could easily have won one of those. Can you imagine the fallout if he had sacked Hughton after Cardiff and then we had gone down...

You're right, it is a gamble. As it happens I would have (just) given CH another crack, as long as he recognised some change was needed. And Paul Hayward's article is as you'd expect informed and fair, even if you don't agree with all of it. But some of the others aren't. Henry Winter's one is...

'Triffic...top, top, top player'

Bit niche. Nobody will remember Steve Gibson's Boro tenure for that.

All of that is undeniably true and made the decision harder to accept (and I'm sure harder to make). But you really expect the top journalists to take account of factors other than whether he talks to them, and whether he's a great bloke.

I don't even expect to be top half. I just don't expect us to play in home must-win relegation six-pointers the same way we might away at Spurs.

The closest chairman comparison for Bloom I would say is Steve Gibson. I'm sure Tony would be happy with that, another astute man, widely admired, who loves his club and has made it a life's project.

Cards on the table, I am not the biggest fan of award-winning and now retired Mail on Sunday journalist/columnist Patrick Collins. So more than happy to highlight this tweet... Patrick Collins (@collinspatk1) tweeted at 10:34 am on Mon, May 13,*2019: The sacking of Chris Hughton is an...

That was a transfer I missed...

Correct. What you have to remember is that the 'big name' journalists don't come to Brighton very often. And when they do, it is usually because of who they are playing. And then they either focus on the other team for being brilliant (eg Man City) or being shit (Man Utd). There has been some...

West Ham away for me. 2-0 up and cruising, heading for the top half of the table and even further away from the scrap at the bottom. Lost the lead far too easily, very bad start to the year.

Incredible. Five-week hearing! They won't even know who is in charge of the money to spend until mid-June.
