The English red tops have poisoned football, Brighton have an amazing record over the past few years this type of hire needs to be celebrated not insulted cos they haven't hired Moyes.

You really can't hold his birth citizenship against him, man - the guy is a German Also a very, very, talented manager. Brighton are genuinely getting all their managerial appointments right.

I’m not insulting them, they’re clearly a fantastic football club in most departments. What they’ve achieved and the way they’ve gone about it is remarkable. However, a 31-year old who’s had a couple of seasons in the second division of the Bundesliga coming to just about the most difficult league in the world feels like a major risk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted June 8, 2024 Share Posted June 8, 2024 Personally I think his ethos and footballing identity mesh pretty well with Brighton, could be a shrewd appointment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted June 8, 2024 Share Posted June 8, 2024 Think Brighton will fly too close to the sun here - fair play for taking risks but this one feels a bit silly and unnecessary. Playing 6D chess when everyone is just 4D. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing 6D chess when everyone is just 4D. 2.16 PPG average, most in St. Pauli history (discounting caretakers). Going back ten seasons before Hurzeler got the gig, their managers averaged a PPG of: 1.45 | 1.12 | 1.43 | 1.42 | 1.20 | 1.33 (again not counting caretakers). Yes, guy is yet to prove he can do it at another club - but you can only find out by letting him try. I'm all for this type of manager appointment instead of any of the normal merry-go-round appointment PL clubs usually make out of fear.

Playing 6D chess when everyone is just 4D. Have to admit a slight bias towards him as he's a big follower of the same philosophy Kjetil Knutsen implemented at Bodø/Glimt In essence, it's just "each player in each position know what their role to play on the pitch is so in-depth that you can swap a first team player for a back-up/youth player in the same position and you'll barely notice a difference".

Conjo Posted June 8, 2024 Share Posted June 8, 2024 German football isn't close to as poor as some on here seem to think. Look at their achievements in Europe this year. Look at some of the teams in the 2. Bundesliga - Hertha, HSV, Schalke, Kaiserlautern, Hannover, Dusseldorf, Karlsruher, Nurnberg - all big teams recently in the Bundesliga and most with European pedigree. St. Paulis achievements have been remarkable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted June 8, 2024 Share Posted June 8, 2024 Excited to see how he gets on. At least they have balls to try and get a promising manager rather than the Premier merry go round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiemag Posted June 9, 2024 Share Posted June 9, 2024 Ratcliffe is such an unprincipled cheap skate of a man. Show some respect and dismiss Ten Hag before flirting with other managers. I don’t think this sort of behaviour will bode well for the culture within the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted June 9, 2024 Share Posted June 9, 2024 He’s a fucking idiot who’s used to getting what he wants and bullying people into it. What he doesn’t realise is that he’s not the biggest bully in the playground anymore Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
