Great article (another one) about the amazing job CH has done. Although I'm not sure I like all this talk of interviews for other jobs.

I think we are fortunate. His stock has risen to the point that an average top flight job would be no better than this.
That is testimony. Forgive me, I've had a few shandys, but that article makes me realise how fortunate we are.

Whilst it is nice to see Chris getting deserved compliments, the article is annoying to me. Mostly I want to say, hands off, he is our Manager, stop pushing him as Tottenhams next.
But also, the comment from Troy Townsend about Ince, he is certainly not the first or last Manager to be sacked quite early on, to suggest that it might be due to his colour is a slight on the club that gave him the opportunity in the first place.

The strap line was the giveaway that the article was about a recent speech he gave. At least you didn't have to waste too much of your time reading Chris's views.

Typical Brighton, whenever I go to the Amex they can't wait to start a football game.
Exactly my point. Shame it couldn't just talk about Hughton and his success as a player and manager. Should have known skin colour will be the driving force of the article.It's why i never read that left wing crap.
You don't need a shovel to dig your hole. Slowly read the article again........

From the intended political perspective it's fine, but as a football article it's absolute toilet. All it does is bang on about Chris getting the Spurs job.
I guess there are obvious reasons why New Statesmen doesn't do good football articles.

Nice to hear you hold the opinion's of CH in such high regard.
Chris is a fantastic manager and I am very pleased he is under the radar. I agree with the article though that he needs to get more recognition - last week's result against Arsenal for instance where there were acres of column inches and headlines about Arsene Wenger and very little about Chris is a case in point.

What exactly is wrong with his skin colour being the 'driving force' behind an article taken from a meeting in which the lack of opportunities for those of black and mixed-raced ethnicity is debated? Does it offend you that those who are being discriminated against, be it intentional or unintentional, are standing up and demanding equal opportunities?
Chris uses his position as manager of our club to draw focus to this subject. We should be proud of him and our club, not belittling the medium in which his message is getting out there.

I presume you weren't an avid follower of Chris's column in The News Line all those years ago ?
