Never quite up to PL standard. Leicester knew it - that's how we got him. We then found it out for ourselves. If Fulham have managed to pass him on to Huddersfeld, happy for all concerned - always felt a bit guilty about the way we'd fleeced Fulham! (although not so much now when they are trying to be our rivalls).

False. Leicester offered him a new contract which he turned down, and went to Belgium to be nearer his family when his brother died. He played for Standard Liege for a year before coming to us.

Think he might have been better for us in EPL if he hadn't had his mental health problems, was still struggling to get over loosing his dad.

I really don't like Huddersfield, I'm not sure why. But they just really annoy me!
However, my desire to see Knockaert succeed far exceeds any irrational disliking I have for Huddersfield.

Does Chris not fancy it then? Would think he'd do a good job there

This is exactly it.
Anyone who saw his consistently incredible performances in the last 2 championship seasons should be in no doubt at all he was easily good enough for a PL career.
Sadly mental health matters did intervene and he's never quite been the same player since.

Out of all the Yorkshire teams I do not mind them to be honest, great history, blue and white stripes, not entitled fans, and they hate Leeds, what is not to like
Unless it's from a long time ago I think it may be the whole David Wagner, look at me I'm a crazy German, thing alongside the media love in for him. Oh plus the wanky holding hands bowing to the crowd on the odd occasion that they won.

I really don't understand people re-writing history, AK was ok in the PL , he struggled a bit as did most of the team and that's not good for a flair player and hence his outbreaks of daftness e.g. his tackles that he soul not have made. Would have been much better in an attacking team.

Absolutely, and the cringey karaoke flag waving drum beating constact barage of shit ultra nonsense that they turned into. So bloody irritating. Other than that I quite like Huddersfield, their old match reviews via powerpoint were hilarious. They just took a wrong turn with Wagner I think

100%. Hopefully his good showing at ‘udders is a sign his head’s in a better place. Be good to see him performing back like he was (as long as it’s not against us).
Had March been sold to a Championship team we'd be reading the same nonsense claiming that he wasn't good enough for the PL.

Dangerous Idiot
I find this comment bewildering when he’s played Man Utd of the park and was immense in the Cup semi final plus many more decent appearances for us in the PL, and that was him with mental health issues.
Maybe some we’re expecting the exact same performances that he pulled of most games in the championship which was never going to happen, the same way a 30 goal championship striker will be lucky to score 10 PL goals.
Not right j
Brighton had an enthusiastic financially supporting Owner looking to achieve what was achieved. There has t be a common goal when someone takes a job.
I know some people take a job just to be able to be in a job or earn money. That's not Chris. For him he has to see something he wants to achieve and it has to fit that into his personal and family lifestyle as well.
You don't take a job just for money or status. You just wait for the job you think might be rewarding if you make a success of it.
It's round the corner but not in Yorkshire
Not right job at this point in time for many reasons. Look at the Brighton project. That took 4 years to turn a relegation threatened Championship side into a partially established PL side. In 4 years Chris will be 68 years old.

A lunatic that has seen his club promoted and looking like they will stay up.
