Arguably, a big part of the reason for our second half season slump, was because our best wingers were injured. Good chance Mitoma leaves this summer anyway, Solly was fantastic under GP before his injury. Also, maybe that change in style would be a good thing for others likes of Enciso and...

Was referring to GP

“Soppy Bollocks” that has taken the club to where it is today. And hasn’t done too badly for England either.

A good chance whoever is appointed will be what Nathan Jones was for Saints. I’d rather have Nathan Jones.

I remember Pascal Gross, Lewis Dunk, Adam Webster, Solly March, Tariq Lamptey, Joel Veltman, Jakub Moder and Danny Welbeck all playing rather well under his management.

Thought his words on the pitch after the game were great. Just left me thinking, what are we doing letting him go! Can we change our minds?

Clearly fits the club culture. Has worked with many of the players before. Probably the best man available. It’s an obvious choice. But will the big execs let ego and popularity get in the way? I expect so.

I’ve got into watching a lot more non league football in the last couple of years. It’s better in so many ways. Standard of football is so much better than it was 10/15 years ago, it’s cheaper, friendlier and you’re able to watch the game with a beer.

It’s the future, unfortunately. I suspect the American tour last year was all part of the plan to get to that point. If so, some clubs will already be in on it, others like ourselves won’t be, just like with project big picture. Our football teams aren’t clubs any more, they are brands solely...

People need to give Roberto a break. He is an ambitious and relatively young manager, who is still learning his way at the top level. He wouldn’t be at Brighton if that wasn’t the case. He’s made mistakes this season, particularly in some of the things he’s said in public, but he’s passionate...

I dont like it myself, but it is a reality and part of the trade offs that come with success. I’ve seen some refer to this type of thing as an unconscious “loophole”, I think it is better to see it as a conscious privilege that is being given with that status of ticket.

It didn’t exist.

1901ers pay a lot of money for their tickets and they get certain privileges with it that the rest of us don’t. That’s modern football unfortunately. This type of thing is only going to increase as long as the Albion remain in the Premier League.

… both by the fans and the players. Simple question: will he be Brighton’s number 1 next season?

Exactly, the money is coming from Tony Bloom. The latest club accounts show negative reserves of £27.7m, with a debt owed to TB of £373m… sorry for reiterating this but both figure are important. The men’s team are where they are because of his investment. Full Stop. If he wants to put more...
