Hyypia Has Accepted The Brighton Job...

[Pinkie Brown]

There's been a huge misunderstanding. The journo's wires got crossed. Its actually Sam Allardyce.......

Onwards and onwards.

...according to a writer for the Independent, then retweeted by NSC:

Sami Hypia heading back to England. He's accepted the #Brighton manager job and is now looking for an assistant to work with him there #lfc

Herbie ghosts Rafael Benitez's occasional column for the Indy so I'm assuming that's where the news came from.

[pedant alert]Although it appears on live albums, The Beatles didn't record this. The UK band that had a hit with it was The Swinging Blue Jeans - it was my favourite record when I was 7. It was actually written by and originally recorded by one Chan Romero (I had to look that up)

And, yes, I have got a life [/pedant alert]

Hyypia is a good choice (although I'd have preferred Hantz). I'm not celebrating until I see him holding the shirt - or scarf as an acceptable substitute

I'm not celebrating until we win promotion.

A Liverpool colleague of mine sent this to me just now: ( shame he isnt playing anymore)

Sami Hyypia
To the tune of The Addams Family


In our defensive foursome
He's absolutely awesome
From corners he will score some
It's Sami Hyypia!

Hyyp hyyp hoorayy!

Do you think a Independant journalist would lie? Give the club time to make an official statement, may even take a couple of days.

 

[PWA]

Give it time.

Lots of it!

 

[Cars]

Is now mentioned on my sky sports news app, under sky sports today. Sky bet have now suspended betting on the next Brighton manager

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Delighted.

And for a song - just stick to the current one from Liverpool.......since we arent very good at making songs up.

 

[Pinkie Brown]

Sami Hyypiä: has he got a coaching badge?

Of course he has..........

 

[London Irish]

Let's hope he gets a total free hand of backroom staff, I'm not a Jonah hater but Sami must get the guys he's totally comfortable with

 

[Triggaaar]

So from this can we assume that the details of the deal will be tied up over the weekend?

Er, I wasn't being serious.

 

[Petee]

BBC South East Sport have now tweeted 'At this stage we understand nobody has been offered the manager/head coach job at Brighton. Could all change of course'

Bit late for April Fools from that Independent journo if this is the case... Sacked in the morning!
