Hyypia Has Accepted The Brighton Job...

[West Hoathly Seagull]

So have Sky.

Oddschecker is now saying no market yet:

Unless that's just the settings on my work computer.

were loose

We need the obligatory pic of 'shirt held up in media suite' before we can breathe.

And hopefully the new one at that!

Be another good appointment. One like all the others not really in the frame in the mind of the fans yet when it happens it really catches the imagination. Also shows Brighton is still an attractive prospect. He may have been sacked at Leverkusen but his record was pretty decent none the less.

 

[sparkie]

Cue eRnEsT, Kev The Moan and Fat Baz to go into meltdown

I think Kev actually said it would be a reasonable appointment

 

[London Irish]

He has knowledge of both English and continental football, which was Oscar's great flaw. A renowned nice guy as well, although I hope that still means he fights his corner with the club beancounters

 

[Ernest]

We are FINNISH

 

[glasfryn]

I think Kev actually said it would be a reasonable appointment

he will have changed his mind by now

 

[Surf's Up]

Please not be TRUE

#Hippia OUT

Great sense of humour, so ironic - ha ha ha, I can't help but laugh. At least Hyypia will be happy to know he's got Enrest's vote of confidence.

 

[carteater]

Good news if true

there's a big van outside a house that's for sale, opposite my house, , coincidence...





Definitely a coincidence, it's a removal van .

Barber out

Hyyp Hyyp HOORAY! Sami makes me happy.

this
in fact very much this

That was before it was announced. If he is our manager, you'll find the rest of Kev's statement was something like 'for a league 1 side'.

 

[Mackenzie]

He can speak decent English, so that's already an improvement on the last bloke.

[bhafc1972]

Has this been confirmed on any other sites yet?

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Yes, yes but still no flippin' shirts

 

[Ernest]

Another FOREIGNER, no idea of the CHAMPIONSHIP, this is DOOMED to fail

HIPPIA ulos

 

[Foolg]

Pleased if true.

In fact, pretty pleased it's another big name. I'd struggle to see someone like Nathan Jones attract the same calibre of players as the likes of Hyypia, that was my main concern with many of the names on the (betting) shortlist.

Yep... just.... waiting... for.... Nike.
