Maybe a mod should merge all the Boo threads :wink:

Dunno about about. Assuming Naylor's words have been chosen carefully, and not just for purposes of clickbait, 'deep-rooted dismay' strongly suggests the issue has its origins far earlier than last Saturday. Which would be worrying. Maybe Naylor just shit-stirring tho

Potter can piss off. He is entitled to his views and we are entitled to show our frustration. What does he expect from us exactly?

Final whistle went it was more of a ffs boo for a few seconds. Potter didn’t need to react, Naylor took the opportunity to fight with fans on social media (what’s new) all blown out of proportion

well , maybe he would expect not to get booed when we are 8th in the league and have just played the biggest team on the planet off the park , we are a striker away from top 10 finish , hopefully GP is too grown up to take his deckchair and piss off to a bigger club. Always been a bit of a boo crew at Brighton.

There is concern about a lack of understanding of the difficulties competing in the Premier League when even teams at the wrong end of the table possess individual players of high calibre, capable of posing problems.

This is the bit that is irritating me, I am glad Potter reacted it shows he cares, but my god the over reaction to his response has now turned the booing by a few bell cheeses into the majority of Albion supporters are entitled idiots who are not happy with the club/team/management/catering staff/etc.

The media have latched onto it and are doing their usual trick of trying to create a massive story out of this and we are all getting dragged down to the level of the booboys.

Compare a few boos to this at the weekend…now that is a crowd a tad disappointed

Nope.

From what I hear on 'the inside' this is all PR by potter anyway. Making the noises from the crowd heard louder and bringing on Jurgen as our only 'valid' striking option.

Dear Tony, please can you tell Paul we ought to buy a striker to convert the xGs to actual goals and this will put Brighton higher up the table, maybe back in the Champions League where we deserve to be this season so you will get more money, and itll also stop people booing so Graham can chill too, simple

This thread is just dragging out what has already been covered on numerous other threads.
It's almost Laura Kuensbergesqe in it's subtlety.

I've taken the bait, so in fairness it is working and increasing NSC's traffic even though it's embarrassing for the vast majority of Brighton fans.

Sorry, that wasn't the intention at all. I've only dipped into the other threads very occasionally, so I would have missed this nuance, if it's been covered already.

I just feel slightly sad if Graham Potter has been carrying around a grudge with the Amex faithful for a while now.

Always been impressed by the insights of this Naylor man not to mention those who think he knows anything.

Normal Naylor Twitter day during silly season:

"I read in several foreign papers that Brighton might be interested in signing Unheardof Player X, is it true?"


Maybe

"I read in several foreign papers that Brighton might be interested in signing Super Talented Megawanted Player X, is it true?"


Ees complicated

"I read that Brighton might look into to signing Lionel Messi, is it true?"

No.

Brighton ends up signing unknown player X, does not get Supertalented Mega Wanted Player X and indeed does not sign Lionel Messi.

Oh my God Andy you are THE Oracle!!

He is a fraud.

Maybe the club should review its ceiling, tho I doubt that would help very much in the long run. This is the big boys table. They're in competition with oligarchs and oil states now. Even a provincial billionaire would be hard-pressed to compete. Tis a quandary to be sure. Can only see it being resolved by a graceful retreat back down to the Championship or a fresh injection of funds that would allow us to buy one or more fit-for-purpose strikers

Dear [MENTION=1557]maffew[/MENTION],

Thank you for your letter. Paul, the recruitment team, the first team manager have all repeatedly told me we need to buy a striker, or 2, and I tell you as I have told them, I am already bankrolling this footballing club to 10s of millions of pounds of losses each year and I am not prepared to sanction a break in our salary structure or a spend over £Xm.

Thanks for your concern, but it's not like my staff or myself need telling this information.

All the best

Tony.

Right.

So we just don’t understand…..As others have said it was a few idiots which has descended into a long-standing topic of discussion apparently. What a load of rubbish - if that is the case why did 30,000 of us bother to sit in the freezing cold on a Saturday evening to watch the team?

Naylor - if you are reading this, stop patronising us.
