Newcastle promoted from the championship
Birmingham into play offs in the championship (4th)
Norwich 11th place finish in the prem

Okay in my books for Brighton & Hove Albion

My granny could of got Newcastle up from the Championship that year....and she's been dead 20 years.

If this turns out to be true I'll bring a pillow, slippers and a good book next season and await his inevitable departure in 12 months time.
Is it the fact that Bloom & Barber want a quiet, dull, yes man who'll accept any budget constraints placed on them regardless of what their potential might be as a manager? This would explain their apparent aversion to a personality like Sherwood.

I'm intrigued to know what is the driving force in their decision making process, and I suspect it isn't the actual football.

If this happens I will be so depressed. After the few years of exciting appointments to be back to middle of the road boring managers would be such an anti climax.

Seems like a sensible move after the mayhem of Gus and the well...not sure really of Oscar.

Not necessarily their budget - it's root cause is FFP. Mandatory with severe consequences if disregarded. Any why should TB keep bankrolling c. £10m per annum losses when he's already paid for the Amex and training facility?

We have some absolutely pathetic fans! Seriously? The guy who got a poor team with a poor budget to 11th in a premiership and he's not good enough for us? The arrogance of some... Unreal.

He doesn't seem like a Bloom-type of appointment. My concern is that he's lost his football mojo. CV is decent though.

It's not arrogance, it's the feeling of many here that we will be faced with another season of sideways & backwards passing if certain managers come in. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and it doesn't make them pathetic for voicing those concerns.
Can you really see Hughton coming in and radically changing your Saturday afternoons entertainment for the better? I personally can't.

Have to agree with this, once Hughton left Norwich they started to play some nice attacking football abeit it was to late in the day, but for me its another manager who is scared to lose a game just like Oscar and Poyet to a certain extent.

A decent manager will realise what needs to be done at a football club with the tools at his disposal so maybe that's why the football may be boring in some circumstances. Maybe that's where the boring football comes from.

I think we have/would have the necessary assets to be in a position to play attractive football and succeed.......a good manager would see that and do that.
