Wrong - try again In fact Palace are one of the clubs I really don't like.

Wrong again No problem admitting it - Duffy has developed into a decent CB - he is still a bit reckless but the guy has worked hard. I would also give Hughton a lot of credit for developing him as a defender - he was very rash and reckless when Brighton bought him. As for Matt Ryan - I still...

Go on - enlighten me - or are you someone who also believes that Bloom's financial activities have zero impact on the poor of Asia?

I agree - my comments about Bloom came from the fact that some are arguing that Bloom was acting in the best interest of the fans and the club - he isn't - he is playing the odds as he always does and acted in a way he considered to be in the best interests of his investment. If he needed the...

That is what he is doing now - he made his money from online poker sites that he sold for over £200million - then he put that money into vulture funds that manipulate the property and financial markets. And if you think that his current gambling activities are not impacting on the Asian...

Yes I do - Bloom initially made his money from online betting companies and online poker sites - he then got involved with vulture funds. This is the basis of his wealth - online gambling and property speculation. Starlizard is primarily designed to manipulate gambling in Asia - selling...

Oh yea - as if this has zero impact on domestic housing or the wages people get paid - jeez

Everton have won the title on 9 occasions in their history - the FA cup 4 times - the European Cup Winners Cup in 1985 - And - why didn't you go back another couple of years when they were in the bottom half - of course then you would have to include their 6th place finish in 95-96. Everton...

He kept a club with one of the smallest budgets in the PL - and using players bought by others in the background - in the PL - and he got sacked for doing his job and getting it done. Bloom is a billionaire - how do you think he made his money? He made/makes it by exploiting people with a...

Everton are an established PL team - since 1992 they have ranged between 4th and 17th in finishes - with 14 finishes in the top half (finishing in the top half in 8 of the last 11 seasons) - including one 4th place and 3 5th place finishes in the past 11 seasons. Spurs are in the same boat -...

Guess?

Fulham spent more than £100million and got relegated

Surviving is the realistic objective for a club with Brighton's budget - Bloom will have to spend a minimum of £100million on transfers just to stand still.

Which one would that be? Jumping to conclusions there - Bloom might be ambitious - but unless he is willing to plough the rest of his reputed £1billion wealth into the club then Brighton are stuck fighting relegation - and maybe even then it wouldn't work. The only club that has been able to...

There is no comparison - really - there isn't. When Hughton had a half decent squad at his disposal he made big progress with them.

'went wrong' - one of the weakest squads and one of the smallest budgets in the PL - and Hughton manages to keep the club from being relegated - jeez :eek:

Southampton had - Nathaniel Clyne Morgan Schneiderlin Jay Rodriguez James Ward-Prowse Adam Lallana Luke Shaw José Fonte and Rickie Lambert who scored 15 goals that season. The following season Rodriquez and Lambert scored 28 goals between them. The also bought Sadio Mane the following year.

This is Chris Hughton's record as a manager - 2009-2010 - promotion with Newcastle 2010-2011 - sacked in December with Newcastle in 11th 2011-2012 - Birmingham finished 4th - lost in the play-off to Blackpool 2012-2013 - Norwich finished 11th 2013-2104 - Sacked in April with Norwich 17th and 5...

Seeing the approach Chris Hughton has adopted his entire career - would you really expect him to say something like that - factual or not?
