I have had the pleasure, yes. Also regularly sat with an acquaintance of Nathan's at Withdean who couldn't speak highly enough of him and gave me some very interesting insights into his character.
Absolutely. Very impressive student of the game, loves BHA and the city, and is a nice person. Personal relationships are very important in any management team, and I can see Nathan and Sami really hitting it off, which will spread to the dressing room. But then again, he's quite short and a bit...
Never understood the crap Jones gets on here and from a lot of Brighton fans. He was a decent player and didn't do too bad as a coach last season either. Still, never pass a chance to slag off a Welshman if you're short on imagination I guess.
