IIRC, I'd heard somewhere (it might have even be an interview with PBOBE) that he has a release clause, but it is only active during the off season.

The top rated comment in the BBC Sport report:
"Brighton showing it doesn't matter who you sell if you are a well run club from top to bottom.
United showing it doesn't matter who you buy if you are a badly run club from top to bottom."

Confession: I actually quite like Mark Goldbridge. I started off thinking he’s a figure of fun but he’s grown on me. Yes he’s a bit irrational; yes he’s a Man United fan. But I love the way he wears his heart on his sleeve, and I think his verbal wordsmithery really impressive. He’s also usually quite fair towards skilled opponents. If you’ve not come across his work, check out YouTube. The Liverpool 0-7 is a highlight.

Brighton are just brilliant
My dislike came from when they won a few games last season, I think one was the FAC Semi. Alex Crook was another southern Manure fan who was irritating at that time. There’s nothing worse than arrogant Manure celebs ….. James Nesbitt, Eamonn Holmes, Mick Hucknall. Alex Crook has since warmed on me, he’s fantastic on Albion transfer news, a rarity he just deals in facts and credible rumours, he seems to have grown up!
The 7-0 was a funny moment, I thought I’d exhausted the vids, Neville and Keane my highlights. I’ll check that out, thank you. The Peter Drury match highlights is a thing of beauty ….. love him.

Just back, emphatic performance and Gross was outstanding.
Two other things:
First time ever a doorman on a Five Guys restaurant and I had to bite my lip post match waiting for a tram back hearing a Utd fan say "Eventually teams will work them out playing like that" arrogant wanker

I agree about ManU celeb fans. Without wanting to overdo my praise, I think Goldridge has creative verbal talent. A big like another Marmite character, Danny Baker. Not for everyone, I accept.
I like the humble MG after another defeat
.Andy Goldstein is a very bearable southern Manure fan, he’s witty and likeable. A wind up artist.
Watched the whole game back on game of the day on Sky. Brilliant performance, rode out the first 15 mins or so and from then onwards only one team playing all the football. Exceptional from JPVH to have Rashford running at him all game and not get a second yellow or let him score.
Only slight question mark for me would be Dahoud. He wasn’t bad by any means just not quite as good as the others. But he hasn’t played much football in the last 18 months in fairness, I’m sure he will come into his own soon

Birmingham Airport on way back to Ireland - had no time yet to read thread since yesterday morning so will enjoy later. What a display yesterday! Team great, fans great and what a coach we have. Just watched his interview on Sky about what a dream it is for him to be coach of these players, for this club. I don’t think anyone can touch him at the moment - even Pep - happy, happy days. Roll on Thursday!
Agree he’s probably got the biggest leap up to make, but hopefully it will come the more he gets minutes on the pitch.
Stepping into a team playing like this, and a midfield that was Mac Alister and Caicedo, is a heck of an ask - but I’d say Billy Gilmour has more than shown it can be done, so here’s hoping Dahoud can grow into it too.
As a follow up to this, in the morning we did mountain carting, basically go karting down a 5k hill track in the high Tatras in the middle of nowhere on Slovakia.
At the end we gave the karts in to a bloke who saw my Albion back pack and asked “will Brighton beat Man United today? I hope so!” I told him we would.
This is my level of confidence in our team but also the reach of not only the Premier League but also BHAFC as a brand. Truly global and people in Eastern Europe barely surprised that we’re challenging the likes of United. Wonderful, as was watching the goals just now.

This is what I was asking about, thank you
Is he? I don't think many people are saving that shot form Welbs, don't think anyone is saving the close range shot from Gross. Pedros maybe, but that wasn't far out either, and you couldn't read where it was going to go. Great save to stop Fati though.
He's also fuming that their goal was disallowed, saying that the technology isn't there to be 100% sure the ball is out. It's clearly out! The guy's a bellend.

Interesting to hear the comments from Gross and RDZ about Utd playing a different system which took them 15 minutes to adapt to.
Apparently it wasn't a system United had used before.
We knew RDZ is drilling the players with precise instructions for each opponent.
Seems like Ten Hag ws trying to outsmart De Zerbi.
Looks like that attention to detail covers a lot more than he thought.
Very impressive how quickly the team adapted and took over in the first half.

And once we’d done it Ten Hag couldn’t counter how we played. Difference between a good manager and a great one. I am convincing myself that RDZ may already be a better manager than Pep.
