Leadership is huge at the minute as other than Dunk, there seems very little.
And he’s not firing on all cylinders performance wise.

His alcoholism and gambling addiction certainly propel him into the upper atmosphere of good judgement, certainly.

Apparently good enough for the club to use him as a scout?

Good to see him on the road to recovery, if so.
Ali J is an excellent and underrated footballer, however, not a scout.
Edit - I have just looked him up. He is not listed as a BHA scout.
Alireza Jahanbakhsh signs on a 5-year deal for a club record fee
He was certainly watching Bradley Dack when at Gillingham.
Don’t agree with AJ at this level I’m afraid [emoji2]
Edit - just seen your edit, he mentioned it on Radio Sussex

To be frank, I know nothing. I think that with Ali J he has something....magical. But he may well not score often enough for us or (more importantly) follow the Dear Leader's instructions sufficiently.....who knows? The proof of the pudding is he doesn't get picked often, so it is what it is.
Not sure what Aspers saw the other night that I missed that earned the pelters for Ali J, though.
Agreed.......
I dont necessarily disagree with you, but who got leaders these days? There's Sergio Ramos in Real, Chiellini in Juventus and Zlatan in Milan... other than that? Its a dying breed/personality trait. If you are a leader you wont be friends with everyone all the time, and if you are not friends with everyone all the time you wont get those likes on Instagram. The modern world does not like leaders.
Good points - but in footballing terms, you need those players that will lead by example and not be afraid of dishing out a rollicking.
When we went up I would argue that Bruno, Dunk, Duffy, Murray even Stephens were the 'on-pitch' leaders. You could also throw in Liam Rosenoir,
Dunk and Lallana are likely to be a louder voices, but I'd be interested to know if there are others, some have said Webster, but he seems he quiet to me
(I could be wrong, just don't notice it).
There are leaders at English clubs that are doing well. Look at the difference in Liverpool when Henderson plays. He's ostensibly a slow, defensive minded midfielder but all the play goes through him and his team trust him - all the team trust him.
Watch "All or Nothing Tottenham Hotspur" and see the difference between Lloris genuinely inspiring the troops and Kane just unleashing a volley of f-words. We took out a lot more than just a keeper when he was injured at The Amex.
Aspinall is a clueless chancer on a MIckey Mouse radio station.
Sure, ok. There are some lingering around, the species is not dead yet. But generally I believe I'm right - they are rare today and teams are lucky if they have one. Having a couple of them in your team is very rare.
Hopefully there's a few in the current squad who could turn into leaders when they feel more secure and established. Bissouma seems increasingly interested in taking responsibility although I get the impression he is not very vocal, Trossard was probably captain for a reason in his old club, Maupay definitely got some of the traits but needs a big bag of maturity. Currently I guess we need to hope that Lallana is fit as often as possible.

Denis Healey not good at his job? I can remember many years ago reading comments from civil servants who had been with him at the Ministry of Defence saying how good a minister he was. Was sometimes difficult to convince about something, but when he did buy in, he went to battle for them. Questioning. Attention to detail........

I’m not an Economist, but having just read a bit about it, he had difficult times to deal with and a less than competent Treasury staff.
Plenty of people would say or have written that he was (one of) the best Prime Ministers we never had.
Whoa, not having that!
Sometimes his opinions are a bit questionable and the less said about his pronunciation skills the better, but Aspinall is very experienced, really cares about the club and is a good bloke.
His alcoholism and gambling addiction certainly propel him into the upper atmosphere of good judgement, certainly.
Really?! Expected better of you than that Harry.
He was scouting for Brighton a while ago but not now. He spotted Walton for example.
May I nominate this as the post of 2016-17? The year we got promoted to the top tier?
