If he's as good as we think he is then I think he can keep them up. Yes the owners can't throw much more than £30m extra into the club, but they will also have the £140m of so premier league riches to spend, and their baseline wages costs must be tiny having come almost straight from League 1...
There's going to be change regardless, whoever come in will play differently to RDZ, some players who starred under RDZ won't look as good, some players who went backwards under RDZ will play well. Players will leave, new ones will come in and it will all take time to gel.
So out of 115 charges, seven are for breaches of Premier League PSR. Everton and Forest were both found guilty of this and had points deductions both in the subsequent season (for Everton's first charge) and current season (for Everton's second charge and Forest's). Yet City have been able to...
Chelsea and United have screwed us over here. McKenna was probably keen to come, but then those clubs get interested and suddenly we don't look as attractive anymore. Then they stop looking and McKenna is left with the not-as-good-as-it-could-have-been option of Brighton or staying at Ipswich...
You're probably onto something there. When you're advertising a job vacancy when 4th in the league its very attractive indeed. Probably less so when the departing manager has moaned about the clubs ambition for the best part of four months.
Its f***ing Chelsea. Were not competing with Chelsea. They're one of the biggest clubs in the world. If you gonna get upset that Chelsea do better than us then you're in for a lot of pain. We're not competing with Chelsea.
well, it was intended as a mildly amusing retort. But stats-wise RDZ won 12 of 38 league games after Caicedo left, or 31%, whereas Potter won 7 of 30 league games in the season prior to Caicedo's debut, or 23% ( with Connolly, Maupay and Locadia as striking 'options'). With Caicedo Potter won 9...
Do other clubs fans behave the way we do? Booing Cucurella, Caicedo, Trossard displaying overt hatred to the likes of Potter, Bridcutt, Poyet? We seem to do it a lot to players and managers who merely have the temerity to leave to a bigger club*.
*unless they cry on the pitch after their last...
Think he learnt a lot from Mac Allister on the last day of last season. Look sad youre leaving, cry a bit, fans will completely overlook that you manouevured your way out of the club and clap every time your return.
Trying to get my head round this. They want high defence spending but low taxation. They want low rates of immigration but also to bin off most of the civil service staff that deal with things like immigration. Do they want bubblegum and fairies too?
Premier league next year is an almost carbon-copy of the 22-23 season, just Ipswich there instead of Leeds. And all the promoted clubs are going to try and play football, and all the clubs who stayed up are going to be in at least their third season. Its going to be an interesting - and tough -...
I'm very pro-Potter and was was also very much a fan of RDZ. Don't try and turn this into a fans v fans things, its OK to be a Brighton fan and to like Potter
And Potter didn't? He joined when we had stayed up by the skin of our teeth and a Cardiff clusterfuck, when all our mindset was was trying to stay in the league. He led us to the top half of the table, exciting football, replacing the promotion team with exciting youth, beating all the big...
Nothing wrong with either of those comments with the context and audience intended. However there do seem to be some fragile egos getting bruised by taking it personally.
How have you been a brighton fan for this long and not realised this yet?
Anyway if you now accept this i assume there will be no more posts complaining about it?
