You said 'Tony won't f*** about. You don't spend the money he has and accept finishing 9th'

I'm just asking what you think an acceptable finish would be. Your quote suggests you feel Tony has a point, if indeed he would be of such a view.
So you're asking what I think is an acceptable finish?

European football.

Got his tactics and selection very badly wrong

Every Brighton manager falls for Dycheball these days, so not pushing for him to be Out on that basis, but blotted his copybook for sure
We had a very good record against Moyesball though.

I don't think there's been any talk of a contract extension? Wouldn't be too surprised if Bloom rolls the die again at the end of season.
Change of coach from Potter to De Zerbi didn’t make much of a difference. We were flying at the end of Potter’s tenure.
We started the previous season with the exact same amount of points from five games and finished 9th.

RDZ brought consistency, belief and a much more entertaining watch. imo.

Nailed on to be sacked (quite rightly) at the end of the season because Tony won't f*** about. You don't spend the money he has and accept finishing 9th.
He only "spent the money" because he'd received a bucket load of money for players, that if you took out the financial side of football, I'm sure he would have been desperate to keep.....

And really that was 2 transfer windows worth of spend on 1. Plus taking advantage of the rolling PSR window …

Absolutely clueless coaching today but we were almost perfect at Man U. He’s just got to be given time to find his feet.

Shame that’s massively at odds with our European ambitions.
We were good at United but Amorim did stick rigidly to a suicidal formation considering the pace of our wingers. What was the tactic today? Launch it repeatedly at a bunch of giant defenders who probably couldn’t believe their luck.

The team RDZ inherited had managed 31 points from its previous 15 games. We were on flying.

RDZ was good value for a year. His last few months were relegation form.

But he had his 2 midfielders sold without adequate replacements and then a hideous injury list to contend with. Do you remember that?

Just about a seasons worth of games. And let’s not forget got embarrassed by Moyes West Ham at the start of last season 🤷🏻‍♂️

We need to give FH time. He’s had a far better start than Potter.
Compare both the squads that Potter and Fab started with. Potter also had the task of changing the whole style of play.

The problem is that most people will be going to home games primarily. And we’re generally poor at home.

Today was abysmal. It’s another home performance to add to the list to show the guy has no plan, no ability to positively change the game (I’ve no idea what he was trying to achieve with any of his subs), and isn’t getting the best out of the talent we have. We’re utterly soulless to watch.

Honestly, I just don’t enjoy going to home games and watching our team play when they’re managed by this guy.
Today cemented that this is how I'm feeling. It's the same disappointing pish every home game.
