Yes, the fundamental difference between Trossard/Bissouma and Burn/March is about longevity plans tbh. The club spent about £15m on Trossard and sold him for £27m. Bissouma was signed for around £15m and sold for £25m. The plan for those types of players were always going to be that they would...

Well I blame it on individual mistakes and the team being overawed by the occasion. Something you could put on RDZ, but I'm willing to say that his ability to lift our ambitions to those heights and deal with big occasions was a huge factor in getting there so give him the benefit of the doubt...

I mean even if we're comparing best runs that's still 1.85 gpg. In a 14 match run last season from the World Cup break to the 2-1 loss at Spurs we scored 31 goals at 2.2gpg. We scored 27 in our less flattering run of 14 games. Ultimately though, it's about overall tenure, a run of 14 games does...

Potter never had more than 6 games in a month as Brighton Manager. RDZ had 7 in April. 7 in May 2023. 7 in Dec 2023. I'm not sure any Premier League side has ever played 12 games in a month.

Roma also took that game way more seriously than I expected. It felt huge being there, like it was their biggest game of the season. I think we were overawed by it and the game was lost on individual errors (Lamptey's inability to play the offside trap for the first, Dunk's brainfade for the...

I'm not in a cult, and it's not more belittling to fans than directly telling them to have a history lesson on their own club. We have a smaller budget than the majority of the league - it's a fact. Long live RDZ.

But unlike Potter the stuffings weren't part of really long suffering runs. We followed our loss to Villa with a wonderful 2-2 draw in our first ever European away game at one of the most menacing stadiums in the world. The 4-0 loss to Luton was followed by a 4-1 battering of Palace (which was a...

All I'm going to give you from this is that he is small. 5'7 is tiny in football. Anyway we had somewhere between the 19th and 16th biggest wage bill in the league last season depending on your sauce. So yeah, he's not lying is he? I genuinely don't see the problem with his comments, they are...

Not to mention this 1 win in 16 to perk us all up in lockdown either... or this fun 11 matches (3 months) without a win (7 goals!) the following season (including the unacceptable Locadia flounce vs Leeds)...

Oh don't get me wrong, I hoped the understandably in brackets gave some indication that I think in hindsight it was a move, for selfish reasons, he couldn't turn down. My point is more that it is not a done thing in modern football and whether it was his fault or Chelsea's, it was potentially a...

100% this. Why would you be swooning over a manager who not only berated the fans when things weren't so great, but left (understandably don't get me wrong) mid-season for a Premier League rival. People really don't get how unheard of that is do they? It happened twice in the last decade and I...

Yeah, I don't think it would particularly change anything. I'm not sure what you want from football if you don't love a highly entertaining, well dressed Italian fireball running around the sideline like a nutter, giving everything he has into managing your club, and delivering the impossible...

Can't believe the negativity towards our most successful manager of all time from so many. He is my favourite Brighton manager of my lifetime. And it's going to take the biggest of all flounces to change that.
