Did you stub your toe on something?

And, not surprisingly, they didn't have Bloom (or for that matter the team he has assembled behind the scenes)!! However, Morris has only had Derby for 4 years and is effing rich. Watch this space.

You're missing the point. Yes it is undeniable that we got promoted under Hughton in 2016/17 but what you cannot substantiate is whether it would have happened with a different manager in charge. Maybe a year earlier, maybe a year later, we'll never know. That's the point I'm making.

He doesn't pick team and tactics but he does supply that team, ie the players. Hughton was provided with the tools to get us promoted and he achieved that but history also shows he isn't the only manager capable of getting a team promoted!! Also, to say that we wouldn't have achieved promotion...

This will just come down to opinions but whilst important, CH was not the main one in my view. That will be the chairman and what was being done to provide the infrastructure to support promotion bids and beyond. CH isn't the only manager ever to get teams promoted from the championship which...

The reason it is dragging on is because you think the sun shines out of CH's backside and that he should never have been sacked, not from Newcastle, nor from Norwich and now from Brighton. Not everybody agreed with it at the time (for the record I did) but I would respectfully suggest that...

That makes no sense whatsoever. Certainly not was implied by the post you gave the facepalm to. Seems to me you think that it was only because of Hughton that the club got to the PL. He was one of several factors. We would have got there whether it was Hughton or some other manager in...

Fair enough, you weren't lying, you posted out of ignorance at the time. If you posted a link to your source then apologies as I missed it.

Appreciate what you are saying but this is about facts. JRG claimed that Hernandez on circa £7.2m per year was being paid more than our top 5 earners. Based on Dunk and a couple of others being on £50k per week, that equates to £2.5m per year. Ergo, assuming those figures are correct...

Which means I'm right and JRG is wrong. Do you agree?

It's previously been stated that that £47k is the average based over the first team players (ie not the full squad but those players regularly in the first team).

So, basically you are now admitting to making it up. You don't know what the top 5 earners at the Albion earn so how can you compare them to what WHU allegedly paid Hernandez. By all means make comments that other clubs are allegedly paying drastically more than we pay our top players but stop...

Aah, the man with the finger on the financial pulse! This thread seems to have become a little derailed by arguments about averages. The point made by Jolly Red Giant was that WHU were paying more to Hernandez than we were paying to our top 5 earners. If the average is £2.5m (or thereabouts)...

:facepalm: How do you arrive at that? Just to remind you, JRG stated that WHU were paying Hernandez £7.2 million a year and claimed that that was more than our top five earners combined. Now you're talking about average pay! If, as you say, the median is £25k then that equates to £1.5m a...

I believe it, but £50k a week is £2.5m a year. 3 players on that is equivalent to what WHU paid Hernandez, their highest earner so not our top 5 earners! The point I'm yet again making is that JRG distorts facts and, in this case, appears to have made them up.

Would be interested to see where you got those figures from. According to the link below, our average wage last season was just under £47.2k per week or just shy of £2.5m per year. Javier Hernadez was, I believe, WHU highest paid player. So, three of our average players combined earned just...

It's simple, use your eyes!!! Anyone watching us play now can see a significant improvement from last year. Also, use your common sense. Last year we had three extremely fortunate wins against West Ham, Wolves and Newcastle that gave us an extra lucky 9 points. In the games this year, how...
