He got Swindon to the premier league having taken over in div 3. Swindon. He won cups with Chelsea when they were still underachievers before abramovich. England played better under him than any other manager since bobby robson and his tactical nous nearly won us the game against Argentina with 10 men, when he kept 2 strikers on and had them alternating between defence and attack. He has a strong interest in coaching and developing young players.
But no, of course he's not good enough for Brighton.
Some of our fans are deluded beyond belief. How on earth can they look down their noses at Hoddle? I can only believe that they haven't studied his career and footballing ethos. To my mind, he was a more impressive England manager than Venables ( who still gets rave reviews over Euro 96 ) Yes, his off-field baggage still haunts him but he's not the only one to have been hounded out by the press.
Bring it on, I say.
And many of our fans have no experience of day to day life with a disability.
I wouldn't go to a single Albion game so long as he was manager. He is a moronic scumbag.

Some people had a problem with OG and his command of the English language. I have a similar problem, with Glenn Hoddle and his garbled grammar. Fortunately I usually skip over the post match interviews.
I'd almost forgotten about that - his complete inability to string a straightforward sentence together
Really?
That's a shame. Wouldn't be the same without you.
In the same way many would protest managers such as Di Canio, I couldn't support a club that hired somebody with his views.
Realistically that won't happen which makes your statement slightly toothless. To be honest I have supported the club through a lot of transitions with bad managers, grounds and owners but nothing stopped me going and I can't imagine that will change. The situation now is very different and obviously this is just opinion but we have a great infrastructure and a great owner, we are going places although we are not there yet and with a stable manager I can only see one outcome for the Albion.
We've had to put up with a mix of garbled Spanish/ English plus a huge dollop of bullshit for four and a half years now.
