[Albion] Fabian Hürzeler **SINGED 15/06/2024**

[el punal]

Still awaiting, hopefully the king will send it.
I have to say this appointment has been the most underwhelming one since...Jeff wood. Hope I am wrong.

Who did you want? Tony Pulis?

 

[Midget]

So who do we want as coach for the 26/27 season?

I don't know, everyone on the shortlist is still at school

 

[clapham_gull]

Can't wait to see what he brings to the table.

I'd imagine some sliced sausage, sauerkraut and a bit of rye bread.

 

[Quebec Seagull]

I don't get it. Hürzeler managed to get his 2 Bundesliga relegation-zone club promoted to the Big Time in 2 seasons. Why didn't he stay with St. Pauli to take up that challenge? It's like Potter not sticking around to finish The Albion Project. It can't be the salary, surely, or even the increasingly dubious lure of the EPL... l dunno, it seems like a case of "having eyes bigger than one's stomach", as we say in French. I personally think he should have tested himself with St. Pauli in the Bundesliga for a couple of years. I feel sorry for the players and fans, especially after he extended his contract just a couple of months ago.

Maybe there wasn't a first choice?

Well they were very quick to tell us RDZ was, it matters not just interesting to me that we MIGHT have preferred a Tractor Boy

 

[el punal]

Interesting that TB says “a standout candidate” but not the “first choice”

McKenna it was then.

Maybe, maybe not. We don’t know and probably never will. All academic now anyway.

 

[Flounce]

Geez....

Cheer up, lets be positive eh...
or at least try not bring everyone else down....

See my post 2625, not a moan just interesting…imo

I am happier with FH knowing pretty well f*** all about either of them.

 

[Mr Bridger]

I’d be happy with that playing before the game rather than ‘kin Hey Jude!

Tony Bloom, Tony Bloom, here we are again…

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Fab-yan Hur-zeller
loves a bier keller
he came to Brighton
from Saint Pauli…

 

[Midget]

I've just realised, as well as being the youngest ever Premier League manager...

... he's also the first ever manager to be younger than the Premier League itself

I feel old. Happy, excited, and old.

 

[kelvinnewman]

re Marcel Hartel, for those interested (@Zeberdi):

So potential for a last minute swoop then?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

No press conference until July 2nd.
Players return later that week I think.
Does say he will start work “immediately” - when the work permit comes through.
I guess he’s still in Miami on his holiday.

Seen it suggested he’s fighting to keep Undav, hopefully some targets have been discussed and firmed up as mutually beneficial and the backroom
Team can get on with things

 

[el punal]

My wife (not into football) has only just seen his photo. She now demands that lyrics for the 'Stevie Sidwell song' are re-written with 'Fabian Hurzeler' replacing SS. As if she'd have a chance!

Got to do it in German though. Now that would be very Brighton.

 

[Deadly Danson]

"I can’t wait to meet the players, staff and, of course, the fans"

Fortunately, he's already signed up and committed.

I've already booked a flight to Miami so I can be the first to boo him.

Hmmm...

Ich möchte auch deutsche Kinder

Doesn't quite scan

 

[Napper]

Romano correct AGAIN

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Book the same flight back as him and boo the whole trip.

 

[Brightonfan1983]

Romano correct AGAIN

A stopped clock etc etc.

This is exactly how many on our side feel. But there is certainly a huge difference in salary (triple I wpuld estimate) and maybe Brighton is exactly the one club which could take him from us.

 

[Whitechapel]

PR waffle?


Quite silly PR waffle too, imo. You now have to say it about every manager appointment or people will assume they weren’t first choice.

Interesting that TB says “a standout candidate” but not the “first choice”
