Silly old bat
It's always handy to say that you are interested in football when you are going for a footballing job. He would hardly say "Brighton made me hate the game and I'd rather be on the bench for £24k a week Mr Adkins."
You haven't read any of his interviews have you? Or asked West Ham fans what they thought of his attitude when he was on loan there the previous season?
As DavidinSouthampton rightly pointed out, he did say he had fallen out of love with the game, & Gus plus the Brighton team rekindled that. I was and still am proud of the fact that he has scored 50% of his career goals with us.
