Hopefully they will be tasked with finding strong, fast athletes now to get us out of this league, instead of lightweights for tippy tappy surrenderball.

But will Big Sam come to lowly little Brighton ?

Upson signing would be a good start

My first thought too, not that I'm not pleased with the possibility of Upson signing. Signing players when a new manager may have other preferences and contacts does seem strange. Maybe Gus is staying?

I wouldn't have thought so. He's selling his house.

Which got us out of Division 1, 10th in the championship in our first season and 4th in our second season. Rather that than the nonsense I have been served up over the years.

The Poyet template needs refining, not ripping up if Brighton want to get promoted. Their 'tippy tappy' play achieved a 4th placed finish last time out, so there was not all that much wrong with the approach.

Agreed. Just need to be able to change it if things aren't going our way. I am sure another manager won't go two seasons without coming back to win from a losing position but there is no need to hoof the ball for 90 minutes. The reason Upson didn't play so much was probably because he was a player that didn't fit in to the way Stoke play and fitted our style better. Hope he signs

Apologies if already mentioned, but Pullis is on record as saying he was coming here to play for a contract. I don't think that was dependant on us getting promoted personally, and could imagine him staying. Seemed happy to be here, played remarkably well, and would likely be a fringe player in many Premier League sides but gets starts here.

Hope he stays, more vital to the team than Bridge, although I prefer Bridge as a character.
