A thoroughly lovely chap is Oscar and he's now managing the team that gave its name to one of my all-time favourite bands. He still refers to Brighton as 'us' and 'we'. Wish him all the best.

Has the man in the background's head just exploded?

I have a certain affection for St Etienne as I did a six week exchange visit in there when I was learning French as a kid and they had Domonique Rocheteau playing for them

Terrified by your music taste for a moment there, thinking he'd signed as manager of the Kaizer Chiefs...

Still slightly surprised he hasn't made it back to Barca yet.
Has to happen eventually surely?

One of my all time favourite non Albion players. I have a lot of time for Oscar too, pulled off a miracle given the injuries and sale of best players, he does seem to have a soft spot for us as well

Superb!

I hope he can get more out of Sarah Cracknell. It's been awhile since she produced anything good.

Good to see him managing at a decent club but suprised he isn't heading back to Spain. Does seem to like travelling.

Best manager song we have ever had. He seemed to appreciate us signing it to him too. Hope he does well.
