Hyypia Has Accepted The Brighton Job...

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Exactly, should have been a clean sweep and let the new manager bring in his own staff or does Jones speak FINNISH as well as SPANISH ?

Probably easier than deciphering some of your posts

Perspective, we now have the manger who has led his team to 3th & 4th in the Bundesliga. He's not going to be crap and would appear to have arguably more experience at managing at a high level than our previous two mangers.

Thank you. Some people are saying on here that they're underwhelmed. I'm overwhelmed. And this is because Hyypia not only has led a team to the top handful of places in a league that was then superior to the Premier League, but he's also managed at Champions League level. And he had a win rate of over 50%. Congratulations to Tony and Paul for persuading him to come here.

At least we now seem to accept we are just a Championship side so lets not put pressure on the new manager to gain promotion,we are comfortable in our present league.

Yep this. Very pleased we pulled this off. It's super exciting.......

I repeat based on what? I think we all have an opinion on how well BHA pay, mine perhaps based on our player recruitment & retention in January. That by the way is not his fault, but other teams don't just let players go or go on loan because we have a bloke who once played in the premiership as manager.

I repeat, no. There is a history of players being bought from or loaned from clubs where the manager had played for a long time & kept good relations or other connections e.g.
Steve Bruce @ Sunderland - Campbell, O'Shea & Brown. Welbeck on loan.
Darren Ferguson @ Preston - Borrowed some of dad's players, who famously pulled them out when his son got sacked.
Zola @ Watford - McEachran & Chalobah

Don't even try to let facts get in the way of Arrid's miserable and baseless assertions.

What was hyypia win percentage after the joint manager went ?

51%

 

[SeagullinExile]

51%

54% according to SSN. Not bad.

I've had beers with a couple of Finns before - Both absolutely bonkers - In a nice way of course!

I have a Finnish guy in my team at work and he's a good lad but utterly crackers too!

It must be the lack of sunlight in the winter!

Isn't 54% the number for his full stint of two years. 51% for when he was alone as manager. No?

Not sure. I'm sure SSN will show the graphic again. Still pretty good though eh?

Oh, yes indeed! Both numbers are very impressive. By way of comparison, Oscar's record in the league was 41%.

Hyppias philosophy :

I liked the idea that you "play the game in your head",
"It doesn't matter whether you are fast or slow if you can read the game."

An intelligent attitude.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Not many teams finish 3th.

Far more teams finish 3rd.

 

[BensGrandad]

Far more teams finish 3rd.

Only 1 in each division each season so lets not aim for that as there are more opportunities for 1st and 2nd

Welcome to the Albion Sami. You're gonna be a very busy man in the next several weeks - you have a squad to build, but some very good players (at our level) to get you started. You have a chance to be a legend by taking us to the promised land. In the words of our kit sponsors "Just do it".

The wife will be happy.

Very pleased with this appointment.
