There's normally some sort of underlying feeling e.g. even when Albion were in danger of going down to Div 2 a few years ago, most of us had a feeling that the future was going to be better. Anyway, let's see.

I think more and more people are thinking the same. Yes, he built and paid for a stadium-any rich person could do that. Yes, he built and paid for the new academy-again, any rich person could have done that. All Albion fans will always be thankful for both facilities, I know that I am but unfortunately, football clubs are more than stadia and facilities. They thrive on stability...
Football ownership is like no other business which is why so many successful business people avoid football like the plague.

Of course you can pick out a few, we all can. There are millions more who wouldn't put money into football-ever.
Not sure what your point is really.
?? I thought I was agreeing with you. Rich owners but not football men....
It's a rhetorical question but are we likely to get the quality of player to join a club threatened by relegation with all the appropriate contract clauses?
Even then I wonder if SH were to get a team of full England internationals if he could organise them to be able to get a result vs Blackpool

Any business including a football club that ignores the wishes of 95% of its customers is destined for trouble

Tuesday. Just listened to the Albion Roar. Hyypia really is clueless. There is no Lazarus-style coming back from the dead here.
Despondent.

Im trying Bozza, Im really trying but I had more faith in Slade, Wilkins and McGhee than I do for Hyppia. They, at least, and weak squads. This squad may not be balanced but there is quality there and its not coming out and for the life of me I can't see how Hyppia can change it.
It's all very depressing but as always Ill be listening to every game, wherever I am in the world.

They were all good managers. Slade's bad run seemed to be going on too long but had done well before, Wilkins deserved more time, Mc got us promoted but was a bit flighty
. SH is in the Hinch, a tiny minority amounts a list of very good managers, Horton, Adams, Coppell, Taylor, Gus, Oscar etc

Not the worst mindset to have. I'll be going to Wolves, cheering on the lads, expecting to lose.
PB loves fans like me. Meek acceptance.

We have giving him more than enough time to turn it around, friday night was the last straw.

Easy: it is his website. He's entitled to start threads same as the rest of us.
I liked that MofH.
I'm nearly at this stage but cannot believe that TB will not alter course shortly and I live in hope of that.

My overriding emotion is one of incredulity. I think that the strength of feeling on here stems from the fact that Brighton fans, on the whole, are a pretty reasonable and dutiful bunch especially when compared to their peers from other teams. Therefore, once they are angry, collectively, one can be fairly sure that this is well founded and reasonable. It is also durable opinion, and there has been a groundswell of thinking on here and for several weeks, not just days, about the fact that Hyypia is not up to the job.
The board, Barber in particular, seem to be swayed by the presumption that most clubs behave incoherently when it comes to long term strategy and managerial change and they don't believe this is the right way to go. There won't be much net effect, no positive ROI for the settlement amount required. Clarke for Adkins backs up their claim, they will think not much difference talent-wise between the two and I would agree.
Despite what many say on here about the club, in general I think we all get that. We mostly understand the way the club is trying to play football and what the development strategy is underpinning that.
However, the reason that the majority of Brighton fans, us reasonable hordes from the sustainable omnibuses, want Hyypia gone is that he hasn't got a f*cking clue what he is doing!!!
We, being insightful, understand this. We can see when players are confused, we can see when they don't show for the ball. We can see when tactics aren't working, we can read team sheets and think 'WHAT THE F*CK??!!!!' when he plays a self-admittedly flawed midfield AGAIN, WITHIN A WEEK, IN FACT THE NEXT GAME!!
I'm still angry...

Nail. On. Head. Sums the situation up rather well.
You should think about sending this to the 3 B's. Seriously - I really don't think they get it
