Always knew we’d end up with an ‘Arry as our gaffer.

so our top scorer for last 2 years is redundant and replaced by a player who has not looked like scoring in his most recent games.....

Realistically even if it’s not Andone our top scorer is going to be redundant

My take too, his tactics had been worked out by every Premier League manager, and he only had plan A to work with. Even the players weren’t convinced in the end apparently and there lies a big problem.

You can quote years to me if you like

But if you want the team to lose you ARE NOT a Brighton fan.

You can dress it up if you like with “Sacking Hughton was a disgrace” or something like that but anyone who wants the manager who hasn’t even started yet to fail and the team to lose isn’t a fan.

You're surprised by this attitude. The constant desire for newcomers to this club to fail seems ridiculous to me. I support the club whatever that may bring.

I hope I'm proven wrong, but this doesn't seem wise to me. A championship manager with a championship side..Is TB planing on spending millions to rectify the gaping holes in the squad? Or is there still some strange belief somewhere this squad is premiership quality...

Personally wouldn't let Balogan or Schelotto anywhere near a PL side but the rest of that team excites me and that's without the new signing's that will inevitably follow over the summer

It’s been reported Potter is bringing the Swansea head of recruitment with him as well. I wonder what this means for Winstanley?

He might be the tail?

 

[pocketseagull]

There’s talk about him brining his head of recruitment, what does that mean for winstanley ?

could leave them in a pickle

 

[LamieRobertson]

Nice to see folk keeping an open mind on things.

I am...i was going for next May

It's a great appointment for you. The Golden Era in B&HA's history began today.
I wrote on here some years ago, when Poyet was still with you, that I feared you would become a bigger club than us in a few years. Nobody on here agreed with me, they couldn't see a day when B&HA would be bigger than big club Sunderland. The building of The AMEX and your promotion to (and survival in for two seasons) the top-flight helped begin the growth. I believe the appointment of Potter will enable you to take the next step, not just survival but becoming an established Premier League club.
Brighton and Hove is/are growing and so is your football club. Sunderland is shrinking as a place and our club, despite the passionate support, will find it increasingly difficult to compete; particularly if we're stuck in League One a further season.
I wish it wasn't true but you are part of the future, we are part of the past. Congratulations and well done Mr Bloom.

I think the problem is some fans (not all by any means) have the opinion we should now be entitled to be in the PL. Well, that’s BS. We’ve had 6 seasons in our history at this level to date. I’m not saying we can’t change that and become a long(ish) term team of the PL, but the reality is that is unlikely. However, we do appear to be going about things in a professional way - the training ground, decent recruitment of managers and players (i.e. not blindly thinking that journeymen are the solution).

Sunderland will bounce back. It may not happen straight away, but you are too big a club to be in league 1.

I know people will say its all about negotiations but the fact that Potter has not said yes leaves me to think that something is amiss. If he does not want to join a poor PL team over a mediocre Championship team then maybe he shouldn't be our first choice.

Is there a way Luton can be demoted and both Sunderland and Charlton go up?

Kenilworth Road being a sh1thole?

Been reading some potter articles and watching interviews .
No guarantee it will work out of course but he is an interesting and impressive person.
He is self assured, a natural leader and has a football philosophy

That's the spirit. Normally you are quite negative Looking forward to the transfer window now

 

[LamieRobertson]

Rather try Potter than pick one of the dinosaurs off the merry-go-round.

Interested to see if he'll bring in the winger too.

Well i’m With you on that first sentence...but was that our only option?

Hughton certain relegation next season with turgid defensive football .

Potter is a gamble but less than keeping Hughton

I think Hughton could have evolved with better recruitments next season, like he turned round a league 1 relegation team.

Anyway you got your wish, the new messiah is here. Don't turn on him too quickly if things don't go well straight away.

Indeed. Just using our current squad. I am sure that there will be multiple new signings this summer. Exciting times.

 

[Stat Brother]

Is he coming as assistant manager or is Hughton moving 'up stairs'?
