[Albion] The sad state of Brighton & Hove Albion FC
- Thread starter lasvegan
- Start date
Indeed, I do however get a sense that our highly publicised and much lauded recruitment processes are currently undergoing a severe examination albeit due in the main to circumstances not entirely within our control!
After bit, maybe. Some people could benefit from this one's visibility.
History lesson and all that.
How amusing if the new appointment were to be announced on one of the threads you've put on ignore. And you don't find out till the next day. Or if, like me, you have very few friends, till you rock up in August for our first home game.
"And we welcome to the club our new manager, Sam Allardyce!"

I disagree that the academy is one of the best in the world. When the first team regularly includes 4 or 5 academy graduates, okay. Jack Hinshelwood and Evan Ferguson in the past decade? Not enough.

I do that all the time, either that or I’m searching for tools that I’m holding in my hand
Although several academy players have played for the first team this season, apart from Hinshelwood and Ferguson, none have made much impression. Apart from our two young GKs and Marc Leonard (who looks likely to go to the Championship next season), our young development loanees haven't exactly been pulling up trees out on loan this season either.
Ding Dong !
Boy I'm HOT today !
You'll all be sh&tting the bed if we appoint another Hypia esque coach

Has the OP been liked by all the Potter fans? Sounds like another history lesson to me.

I was discussing that always believing that the club have an absolutely fool proof plan, is becoming like a cult.

It doesn't have a fool proof plan. It does have a plan that is right more often than wrong though. In this instance the plan did not work, so what? Sometime sh*t happens there is no such as a done deal until the ink is on the paper. Not every appointment will work, not every signing will turn into a world beating money spinner.
We've had a good run but we are now facing a bit of adversity, I'd like to think we could handle it a little less hysterically than this and let Bloom and Barber get on with their job, this is not their first rodeo.

I agree with the majority of that, but I do feel like any sorting of questioning, that this may have the optimum way of doing things, gets treated as people don't trust the club at all. Threads like this are pointless, doesn't mean there can't be doubt, making a dig at people jacking in STs if Potter returns, I wouldn't personally, but I understand as to why people would want to.

I agree. The emotions regarding Potter are real and I respect those that hold the strong opinions, even if my own attitude is more pragmatic. I just do not think the sky is falling just yet.
You should consider joining.
It might limit your free thinking, but the tax benefits are tremendous.

Well, plus Ben White and Robert Sanchez, of course, who have brought in 70 million.......
