Why do you assume he didn't?
He also wanted progression from Poyet but we got a weaker team with Oscar, then a much weaker team with Sami. Pointless pretending these are one way bets.TB wants progression and probably doesn’t share your thoughts.
Because his assistant manager and coach were sacked as well. I couldn't see Christ resigning and leaving his crew in the lurch.
He came back after three days but left them a bit later.I couldn't see Christ resigning and leaving his crew in the lurch.
Fine, if you want to do semantics - it was naive of him to be surprised, given how poorly we were performing.
I'm getting a bit angry about this message that is doing the rounds unchallenged...
“He has helped transform Brighton & Hove Albion, from fighting relegation to League One."
Yes, we were headed down the table, thanks to the disastrous tenure of Hyypia. However, the squad that Chris inherited was not broken. We had competed for play off finals in previous seasons under Gus and Oscar. The players, backroom and club management were all strong.
There is this underlying idea going around that Chris single-handily rescued the club from oblivion and took them into the Premier League. That simply isn't true, and yet it's easy twitter feed.
Chris played a hugely important role in a club full of talented and committed individuals who have brought Brighton its success to date. I'll be ever thankful for him, but he did not do it alone and he did not walk into a club that was in free fall.
Had enough of this toing and froing about the sacking of C.H.. After all, there have been numerous threads about the rights and wrongs concerning the departure our erstwhile manager and surely everybody who wanted to have their say has had ample opportunity to do so.
We don't all agree and never will, but surely it is time to move on and look forward to a new season under an exciting new manager,and so it is a tad disappointing that the doomsayers amongst us are already saying/ hinting ' big mistake, we'll go down under this unknown fellow'.
I'm with Tony as well on the height of setting the bar.

And yet you keep commenting on the new ones...
I don't think he was doing it for you.
Perhaps the writing on the wall was the deputy chairman giving an interview a few days before the end of the season saying ""Chris has done a fantastic job over four-and-a-half years"

Clear sign that he was for the push...
I’ve been told the firing took place at the end of season ‘pow wow’ on that Monday morning and he genuinely had know clue it was coming.....
We’ll leave it there, as you’re being childish.
Classy as always. [MENTION=38177]Anya1000[/MENTION] will now be hugely disappointed too
