Norwich fans and a Bournemouth poster on NSC think Hughton is shite. So it must be true then.

Bournemouth haven't changed at all - attack with a kamikaze defence, but it's kept the club up. Along with cash injections from a billionaire.

Be honest. Have you frequently watched much of Brighton under Hughton? IMO it's been brilliant counter attacking play in 75% of games over the his tenure. An immense an amount of goals scored. Far more pleasing on the eye than the predictable slow play of the three previous Amex managers:

Players and their advisers are far more analytical than I'd guessed. I thought they generally chased the money, subject to choosing a bigger or more ambitious club if more than one club are in for them. I can see how some might also be influenced by a manager with a reputation for improving...

Would agents/potential new players in England or the continent really know about this 'negative Hughton in the PL' tag? I thought it was just peddled by never happy Norwich and Newcastle keyboard blame merchants, especially Norwich.

The club's annual accounting losses escalated to what is believed to be £35m in 2016/17, possibly within FFP, so the club aren't averse to investing in players wages and fees (even when way beyond its true income). Now that we have huge new financial resources, there's scope for bringing in top...

All three promoted clubs to go straight back down then?

Good post. I differ with the ending about the strategy of a rock solid defence if we're low scorers, only because it sends teams down - Boro. Your other comments hit the nail on the head in that we need 40 plus goals, or even better the Bournemouth model. But we would need some new offensive...

I agree with you about Bruno. He's one of the greatest Albion footballers (ability, technique, application, Vicente-like ball retention, passing and vision), with such longevity. I would love to be wrong, but I think at 37 in that position, he will be found out. I can only think of world class...

The voice of reason. Like you, I've always been a big fan of Dale Stephens. Two questions to hear our opinion, please - are our right back options good enough to nullify most PL left back/left winger threats? Do you think we should get a quality RB in as one of our priorities. Personally I...

9 times out of 10 a far better eleven win, unfortunately.

:facepalm: yes we were bloody good in most games last season, but the PL is a class above. Think Hudd or Newc away last season, but better still. This squad needs top flight quality pace, power, know how and goals. Not a complete overhaul but in several key positions. Perhaps TB has it all...

Palace, Bournemouth and Stains all spent heavily, immediately bringing in many players and are very much sustainable. Now enjoying £100m of extra income, year after year. Invest or fail.

Thanks, I was waiting for Brighton's' turn in these daily articles. Written by someone with knowledge of us, not a lazy piece. It was the Guardian writers who voted for us to finish bottom. An intelligent bunch, very aware of a lack of meaningful signings. The key section: "The message on...
