Cut Hyypia (spelling!) some slack here. He took on the role as a novice manager. The bloke that was to assist him, Sammy Lee, jumped ship straight after signing. He had no real quality of players to work with. I’m not sure that the club gave him the resources that were required - an arguable...
You could always choose Allardyce - at least his mural would cover your bathroom wall, and a couple of bedrooms as well. Steve Evans on the other hand . . . . :ohmy:
Also, me too! I don’t know why but it’s as if a huge cloud of depression has been lifted that’s been hanging over us over the last few weeks, if not months. The anti climax of a season petering out so tamely and RDZ leaving, then the exasperatingly long (so it seemed) search for a new manager...
Following a stag night there were about six of us staggering along New Church Road in Hove. We thought it would be absolutely spiffing if we took the gates off people‘s driveways and then swapped them for their neighbours gates. God knows how we did it but it looked quite impressive. Not sure...
How would you feel then about other forms of employment? Valuable people get head hunted all the time, and in some cases take their staff with them. It’s accepted however disruptive or disliked it is. It seems that only in football do some people bear some emotional grudge when it happens.
I will counter this with a discussion I had with my daughter when the mass exodus to Chelsea occurred. I had the same view as you - how could a club legend jump ship in such a despicable manner? My daughter replied that by moving with the rest of Potter’s team he was assured of employment within...
You hear the rather derisory comment “a cold, wet Tuesday night in Stoke”, well that day was a cold, wet (well grey) Saturday afternoon. Depressing doesn’t not come close - enough to send you potty. Sorry! :blush:
As you say, it’s relative. London is always going to be more expensive than anywhere else. By the way what is the going rate for a bus shelter in London? :lolol:
Probably can’t afford it like most of us.
A three bedroom semi down here in Southampton would go for £300 - £400 k. I reckon I could pick up a bus shelter for that in the twin city. :ohmy:
I think my grandson will love this appointment. He’s doing GCSE German this year and will no doubt be reading some of the posts from St.Pauli fans. Oh, and he knows what an omelette is. :lolol:
It’s quite enlightening to hear the views of other clubs’ fans regarding Brighton as a club and also as a city. Not only have we been described as mild mannered and inoffensive but friendly and welcoming too. We seem to be top of the list for THE go-to away fixture of the season for many...
