I'd be absolutely amazed if part of Hughton's brief wasn't 'consolidation in the PL' and it hasn't been, it has been regression. Add to that that you are clearly going to look more at the last 5 months than the first 4 with a view to next season and I don't think anyone, including Hughton...

You're right, it is a gamble. As it happens I would have (just) given CH another crack, as long as he recognised some change was needed. And Paul Hayward's article is as you'd expect informed and fair, even if you don't agree with all of it. But some of the others aren't. Henry Winter's one is...

'Triffic...top, top, top player'

Bit niche. Nobody will remember Steve Gibson's Boro tenure for that.

All of that is undeniably true and made the decision harder to accept (and I'm sure harder to make). But you really expect the top journalists to take account of factors other than whether he talks to them, and whether he's a great bloke.

I don't even expect to be top half. I just don't expect us to play in home must-win relegation six-pointers the same way we might away at Spurs.

The closest chairman comparison for Bloom I would say is Steve Gibson. I'm sure Tony would be happy with that, another astute man, widely admired, who loves his club and has made it a life's project.

Correct. What you have to remember is that the 'big name' journalists don't come to Brighton very often. And when they do, it is usually because of who they are playing. And then they either focus on the other team for being brilliant (eg Man City) or being shit (Man Utd). There has been some...

I was deeply uncomfortable with both the results and the performances in the series of 'winnable' home games that were supposed to safeguard our status. Barely mustering a shot on target in the Southampton, Bournemouth and Cardiff games was unforgiveable. We all know football, even teams at the...
