I didn't see anyone else even insinuate a link to our motivation for the sacking? Even Troy's was tenuous. The only media I have seen that has linked it conclusively is NSC.

A balanced informed piece of journalism perhaps? https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/may/13/brighton-sack-chris-hughton

Everyone who is suggesting the media [in general, pundits, journalists etc.] is making this about race. Didn't seem that unambiguous when I typed it.

Because he was asked by the interviewer directly about BAME managers as a whole. It was the interviewer that led him to that live on SNN.

Maybe I'm in a complete minority in not seeing that the rest of the footballing world and media making the sacking of Hughton about race. They are linking Hughton being a prominent BAME manager with the general discussion about inclusion in the sport, but nothing, literally nothing that...

As far as I can tell, Troy Townsend isn't part of the media as a whole, and has been effectively stirring up a bit of attention for himself and the cause he represents through making some insinuations. So yes, I am happy to treat his tweets as just that, his tweets, and not get my knickers in a...

You're quite right of course, you only just need two hands to count how many Brighton managers make it passed 3 seasons in our history!

He is the most high profile BAME manager, and one of the few English managers in the Premier League. Hardly a surprise it again highlights the under representation in the game for coaching and managers, not only BAME, but English too. Who do we have left in the top flight, Hodgson, Howe and...

Yeah, which was my point really. Doesn't mean I have to like it, just accept it.

What it highlights is there literally is no longer any long term loyalty in football whatsoever, even if it was a stretch to suggest there still was. I kind of saw Hughton as a beacon of some forgotten, perhaps rose tinted verson of football where longevity meant loyalty, stability and...
