Brighton Thread

He wasn’t sacked because of his skin colour. Embarrassing from Townsend and Barnes

It was time for them to move on tbh.

There isn’t a single quote from either in that article that suggests he was.

I think, if ever you are a club wanting to sack a manager, I’d want it to be done in the way Brighton have done it.

End of the season. Entire summer break to find a potential replacement.

Basically Brighton were to the relegation battle what Chelsea were to the top four race? :grin:

“Kick It Out have unreservedly apologised to Brighton & Hove Albion FC, its chairman Tony Bloom, and the club’s board of directors and staff for any inference in comments made in an interview in The Telegraph by Troy Townsend, the organisation’s Head of Development, that the club’s dismissal of Chris Hughton as its first team manager on Monday was in any way linked to his ethnicity”

They’re apologising for the way people have inferred the comment.

Hope he does well. Potter seems a great manager

wonder if he can use his magic just like his son

Does anyone know this Potter blokes story?

:kos2:

€16 million record-signing Jurgen Locadia leaves Brighton to join Cincinnati.

Massive flop for them.

Isn’t @Robin_L ‘s best mate their record signing? Or that dude with the really long name?

Alireza Jahanbaksh? Not sure actually

Its actually this guy

Indeed, one of the ones I didn’t get and didn’t stand a hope of getting on the BBC’s ‘name each club’s record transfer’ quiz

Was it Mat Ryan? Because he was on the bench for “football reasons”?

Aaron Connolly I heard

I guess by ‘Arsenal fans’ he must mean Guendouzi as there was no fans present in the stadium.

Also, Mbappe definitely did it first.

Potter to Arsenal!
