Then they have a much better chance of making the group stages then, dont they. Im sure he would much rather be playing Real Madrid away on a Tuesday night than Rotherham away on a Tuesday night.
Probably, especially since they worked with him there as well. The new manager is going to need to bring a team with him then.
I do wonder whether Jones will go actually, if they did have a pretty good working relationship - then its possible.
In the link given at the top of the page - Brighton isnt even mentioned in the article !!
Good luck to him, strongly suspect he just couldnt settle in the UK.
