It would be harsh on Brighton's previous manager Chris Hughton, who worked miracles with a small side and took them as far as anyone could reasonably expect, but this was clearly the thinking when Brighton's management shocked the footballing world by sacking him and replacing him with Graham Potter - they gambled on more than what could be reasonably expected.

Potter is a man who Brighton have trusted to fix their dodgy ceiling, and after some question marks at the beginning, the former Östersunds FK man has shown that he is no cowboy builder.

A reasonable piece on our man from Solihull

Who is this Lewis Cook that he speaks off? I think a few people have noticed the mistake
Interesting article none the less.

Part of me feels it only gets GP-special when I see the Brighton squad doing the things the Östersund squad did.

But a cup win would be fine as well

Great article: But what Brighton supremos were perhaps wary of is that, having taken the time to install a recruitment structure, headed by Technical Director Dan Ashworth, which targeted technically-gifted gems like Yves Bissouma and Alexis Mac Allister, Hughton was not the man to get the best out of these invesments.

Does anyone know where I can see last seasons table/results (can't recall the website that does this) - I suspect the second half of last season was abysmal. TB looked at that and felt that he couldn't risk another season with Chris.

FFS. What absolute crock of shitery journalism - and the reason why Lewis (****ing) DUNK probably needs to move on to a Top Six club when the author cannot even get the club captain's and best player's name right. AAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH

I like the way the writer uses the floor and ceiling analogy, for me that's just about perfect.

There wasn't much wrong with the floor.
The floor was in good nick.
The next tenant would be incredibly grateful the floor was sound.

But jeeez - don't look up!

Terrible article in some ways, but agree with the sentiment wholeheartedly.

Never use flapjacks when you can use jackflaps, Stat. Think outside the box more rather than inside it. Subverting the English language will take you much further; trust me implicitly on that.

Well intentioned, broadly accurate piece ruined by the author allowing his 8 year old to proof read it.

Good piece, it got going about 1/3 in. Will be particularly informative for others who don’t know much about our club and its current direction.
