Guest neesy111 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Plenty clubs will be looking at him, especially those in the Championship who have ambitions to get up. Boro for instance, could do a lot worse than look at him to replace the failed dinosaur they have. Boro will be appointing woodgate as manager.

Guest alijmitchell Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I don't really know what to think of this one - it's been a pretty bad season for them, but I wonder what their expectations are? However, I suppose there are likely better managers out there than Hughton, that's for sure, and teams like us (if we keep Rafa), Southampton, West Ham, palace, bournemouth won't sit still and have much better managers. They'd be scrapping it out for relegation again next year if they kept him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 They are awful so it's deserved. He's spent too much time spouting total bollocks about how Black and ethnic people are discriminated in football as he sits there a millionaire Holy shit, you're still going on about this. What a strange and uneducated thing to say. He was the ONLY black manage in the top flight. Sure, he could have sat there and said nothing, but chose to use his position and exposure to highlight an issue he probably feels strong about and represent the hundreds of black and asian people out there that have tried as hard as anyone to get into football management and been knocked back for whatever reason. Other than Chris Hughton the only other black manager I can think of in the entire history of the Premier League was Ruud Gulliet. I feel like Paul Ince was manager at some point for a month or two, too. You should watch a Wolves match sometime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Steve Kean were the OG's of shit managers, made Pardew look competent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Reading an article on Sky it looks like John Barnes is trying to link this back to racism around the treatment of black managers. Shameful if so - I really like Chris Hughton and he was undoubtedly unfairly treated here but obviously it was nowt to do with the colour of his skin. At Brighton he's spent around £120m in 2 seasons and in the last 20 games they've taken 14 points from 60 and shipped 35 goals. If you were Brighton's owners you'd probably look at a team like us with Rafa as manager not spending a dime and finishing ahead of them 2 seasons running and thinking you could upgrade. Appointing Graham Potter would be a bit daft, mind. Definitely a step backwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 A few people have. The fact is the rot had well and truly set in there, despite all the money they've spent. We've seen it before plenty of times, Brighton were probably set to start next season poorly and then they would need to find a new manager mid-season. They've made the correct decision at the best time. Overall he's obviously done a good job there, that doesn't mean he's immune from the sack.

Tiresias Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 It is shocking how few black managers there are and I'm not sure how you can't simply look at the number of black players compared to number of managers and conclude something is wrong, regardless of why, but anyway, it's sad to lose Hughton from the league but it can't be overlooked how poor they've been second half of the season. There are always many factors for slumps in form but it is always the easiest way to refresh things by changing manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking hell, shit like this is ironically far more racist than the sacking. Seen a few more articles around this and it's actually disgusting that people are allowed to slander the Brighton owners in this way tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alijmitchell Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Yeah I’m not buying the racism angle based on the lack of evidence suggesting that’s the case. It would also mean that a previously progressive owners who have actually been one of the few clubs to appoint a BAME manager have just turned into racist pigs. He’s been given the same amount of time as every other bog standard English manager has - I.e. not a lot when results start to turn. Plus, why shouldn’t they look for better? His track record in the prem isn’t particularly good and there are likely to be better options available in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allardyce was happy that the two names linked with the Brighton job so far (Potter and Lampard) were English and not foreign. Was moaning about it’s now at the stage where clubs like Huddersfield are appointing foreign reserve team coaches over English managers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
