I actually don't think Brighton would get relegated from the PL under CH
I never said I thought they would either. Perhaps I should have done an ERNEST and put 'IF' in VERY BIG letters..................

I never said you did either . I was only expressing my opinion and I was even supporting your notion of being a YoYo club for a couple of years if that were to happen
5 names on the LIST to replace him
Alan Pardew
Mark Warburton
Avram Grant
Gary Rowett
Nigel Pearson
None of them fit to SHINE Ranieri's shoes
I bet Leo's not unhappy about this!
He should have kept the same squad together as last season and not sold probably their best play maker, if it ain't broke etc.
Kante was the only major departure. How much choice do you think Ranieri had when Chelsea came knocking and offered to triple his wages?
With what was at stake I would have tried to at least match the offer.
Sure, but thats probably not Ranieri's call. Its not like they needed the money. I'm 100% sure Ranieri would've loved to have kept Kante, but we all know what happens when a players head is turned.
None of us would've been blaming Hughton if Stephens had gone to Burnley last summer. Ultimately, its not the managers choice these days.
Fewer than most clubs I would imagine, but not by much.
There aren't many things I envy about Burnley, but their faith in Dyche is something I hope we would emulate with Hughton.
Would be interesting to see what threshold of Burnley fans wanted him out.
As their next 4 games are away from home, we may well find out.
Dyche was strongly rumoured to be in line for the Sunderland job after Burnley were relegated but at the last-minute, thankfully for Burnley, Advocaat changed his mind and came back for a second spell at Sunderland. I'm convinced Dyche would now be manager at comfortably mid-table Sunderland if Advocaat had not done a U-turn.
So you reckon Dyche would leave you if a better deal comes in for him?
