Very sad news. No age at all. The article thanks a care home - I wonder why he would have been in there at such a young age.

Or, more reasonably, he's someone who wants to manage at the highest level possible whilst also maintaining a degree of integrity along the way. If you've watched RDZ on the touchline or in interviews for more than a nanosecond, it would be impossible to say he doesn't give a shit about us...

Yeah, this is where I am. It was a wholly different experience compared to the Amex, but it felt different. It was a naturally tighter-knit community, it was low expectations and often backs against the wall stuff, but it was brilliant compared to the years that had come immediately beforehand.

Not everyone hated Withdean at all. I think an awful lot of people were very happy to have the Albion back in Brighton & Hove. A decade+ in Gillingham would have killed the club - no doubt about that.

In Phillips, are we seeing a player who was absolutely perfectly suited to an individual manager's style of play (Bielsa's), but is struggling to adapt to anything different?

That would make far more sense.

I'm loathe to say this, but this competition isn't really a patch on the others that have been run. We're in danger of watering down the really enjoyable ones, IMO. There's a few things in there that aren't really British, or solely British. Queuing for instance is far more of an artform in...

Looks like Robertson started and was replaced by Doyle, but the match centre is laid out in a very odd way!

Yeah, I changed at Leeds and the connecting service was even worse and RAMMED.

Not a sentimental recruit at all. He's doing very well with Hull - they're in with a shout of the play-offs. Even without the Albion connection, it is not too dissimilar a profile to the Graham Potter appointment.

It's a lovely idea, but I don't think it is quite as simple as that!

You use the discount code BRIGHTON for flights to Europe, booked before the end of Feb.

I don't think there would be sufficient time to organise charters. The flight options seem to involve a change via Istanbul.

As I posted on another thread, I think LR will be right up in terms of candidates when RDZ moves on. I think RDZ was a bit of a wilcard option in terms of our usual recruitment style, in that very bizarre circumstances had made him a viable candidate for the job. Had Putin not invaded Ukraine...

Milan is the biggest allocation of all the teams we can get, I think. Hamburg would be similar to Amsterdam I think in terms of allocation. Somewhere between 2,600-2,800.

Yeah, I worked out the allocation would be c1500 for Qarabag. That's plenty for those who'd be wanting to make the trip, I think.

It is possible to both enjoy the ride and also have a conversation about potential replacements when RDZ eventually moves on. There's a probably a degree of mental insulation going on here, so that fans can convince themselves that there will be various really credible candidates around when the...

In terms of maximising both available funds and also annual leave days, I'm considering giving this knockout round a skip (especially if we draw a 'lesser' team, if there's such a thing at this stage). I would probably change that view if we were to draw Milan though, as a trip to the San Siro...

GON for me. Considering the shambles he inherited in terms of players having left and not really replaced etc, he's turned them into a team that is thoroughly good to watch. Neto especially is some player and seems to be playing with so much confidence. I thought GON was harshly let go by B'muff...

A few around us in the ground yesterday did. He's always the easy scapegoat.
