    [Albion] Article - Football Changed and Chris Hughton Didn’t Keep Up

    Hi, member of Chris Hughton's family. That's some consistent posting history you have.

    [Albion] When Did It All Go So Wrong?

    I agree that looks like the result where it went wrong. But for that to happen, something must have gone wrong before the game. We know (from public info from folk at the club) that Chris is a very conservative manager. He is defensive first. He won't play any player until he totally trusts him...

    [Albion] Net spend on players since June 2016 - the harsh reality

    These figures show net spend. At the risk of stating the obvious that is: Money spent buying players - less money spent selling players. Of course we're going to be big net spenders. We sold no one worth a penny and bought £5m-£17m players for two seasons running. That adds up quickly. Other...

    [Albion] Chris Hughton leaves with immediate effect

    Chris is a risk averse manager (remember the recent comments about him not playing anyone in the first team until he can completely trust them). That has served us well but this season it also put TBs investment hugely at risk. He won't allow that to happen again. Better to make a decision and...

    [Albion] Thank you, Chris Hughton

    For once, just once, don't be a knob. You saved us, then raised us and you kept us at the peak. Thank you Chris Hughton.

    [Albion] Bruno to retire

    Wonder what the impact will be on the changing room. You lose a leader like Bruno and it takes some replacing. We sensed the tension this season, who will step up and lead this squad back together for next season? We will miss El Capitain badly.

    [Football] Goldstone Subbuteo Stadium

    Shame the football in the northern half of the pitch is so out of scale.

    [Albion] Bruno to retire

    Anyone fancy doing a whip round for a small show of our appreciation? Someone smarter than me can come up with an appropriate gift idea, but I'd be happy to contribute.

    [Albion] How much will Mr Bloom spend in the summer transfer window?

    I'm not sure it's just an issue of transfer fees. The bigger challenge will be our ability to pay the right wages and offer long contracts to players in a highly competitive market. That will apply to the good ones we already have as much as those we want to add to the squad. Transfer fees are...

    [Albion] Who was the last player to break through from the youth team/development squad?

    When I look at the U23s I see quite a few players who I suspect would have walked into our side back when we were in League One/Two. These are the sort of players that Prem sides would lend to us back then and we'd say "if only we produced a few of these". We didn't have that before. So we've...

    [Drinking] Dry January [and beyond...]

    This has been such a strange time. I thought I'd have cravings and have a daily battle fighting the urge or reflex to have a drink. I just haven't. I've never said never again, but don't want a drink. Hadn't even thought about it really until I saw the drinking culture thread. 107 days (since...

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs AFC Bournemouth *** Official Match Thread ***

    Read in The Times that players are openly criticising Hughton. All is clearly very not good in the Brighton camp. We have the players to stay up, but could easily go down now. Cardiff will be jittery and they will be right up for it.
