Hughton Sacked!

[Kevin Carr's Gloves 3894]

£5 on them to be relegated next season.

crikey.. hughton didn’t deserve sacked like.  Keeping brighton in the prem for 2 seasons was a massive achievement imo 

[strawb 4251]

Their team is fucking crap like, can’t think of a player of theirs I would have here

Seems like another case of directors of football signing shit and the manager getting the blame to me. See also Huddersfield and Fulham

I wonder what Brighton fans think. From the outside it does look an ungrateful decision to me, but things do often look different for those really involved.

He's been backed to the tune of £120m over the last two seasons so has had plenty to spend. Though surely he's done enough to earn a bit more time? Unless he'd lost the dressing room.

They've been rancid all this year mind.  Shame for Hughton though, one of the good guys.

 

 

[The Fish 10857]

Hughton being a nice bloke and able to organise teams to be hard to breakdown doesn't make him a Premier League manager. Doesn't sound like he had full control over the transfers, but he wasn't up to much at Norwich either. I'd rather he was in the Premier League, ahead of unlikeable twats like Rodgers, but whaddyagonnado?

Hasn't Dan Ashworth taken over at Brighton? If so, it makes sense that he'd want to get his own manager in for his rejiggering.

Fuck me. A mate of mine was saying that the game has been gentrified and that it makes him sad. Said about the seating has killed it. Said its been made all seating to purly make money from it

[Monkeys Fist 42443]

Have you just had a stroke, mate?

Time for HR to do a headcount in Wykikie's place. Make sure everyone's safe and accounted for. Maybe give the local plod a ring too just for a heads up?

Champions league "reforms" deed according to Gab Marcotti...

Nee views on Sanchez, the £550,000 a week invisible man. 

[ewerk 30610]

It's disgraceful how he didn't manage to judge every single Man United player in those two sentences.

 he usually manages to insult everyone.

[Kid Dynamite 7027]

It's made up anyway I think. True sentiment though 

[Andrew 4748]

Reportedly 600 tickets bought by chelsea fans and 3000 by arsenals out of an allocation of 6k each for the europa league final.

 

68k seater stadium mostly filled with corporates, its a test run for the Qatar world cup!

[PaddockLad 17260]

Can’t help but thinking someone (or obviously the clubs themselves) could make a killing by just chartering some flights? Fuck me Keith Barrett used to put a couple of buses on to away games and he ended up chartering 3 jumbos to Milan in 2003. Likely harder to do it nowadays and Baku is a long way but probably not insurmountable problems I wouldn’t have thought

People have actually got to want to go though, don't think many are looking fondly at shelling out £2500 to go to Azerbaijan, where one of Arsenals players would be in such danger that he isn't going to the game
