I’m not so sure we would!
Seriously underwhelmed, and quite concerned Berrada would recommend managers who have never won a major honour, and whose clout is a failed Europa League campaign with a billionaire-owned Premier League club.
With the greatest respect to BHA, RdZ backed up this finish finishing lower than EtH (again) and no major honours to his name.
Kompany relegated with one of the worst seasons in the top flight and getting one of the holy grail jobs in football is equivalent to De Zerbi struggling with an injury ravaged team and still finishing at or thereabout where a team like Brighton should be finishing? K...
Yeah, I didn't understand all the hullabaloo before the final to be honest. Felt like they had to sound out who was available before making a decision.
Do you expect Brighton to win major honours? Brighton?
This is a terrible source.
Actually it's not

Before you actually see what they do for us?
How about if it's Southgate?
Frank I understand but poch may not be as bad as people think. Played good football with Chelsea and turned them around in the last half of season. I don’t want Tuchel, Frank or McKenna. McKenna purely because he’s inexperienced and basically a league 1 manager.
He was clearly well above League 1 level, and Championship too, if you consider that he kept his core league one team (from what I read) and took them all the way to the PL. Didn't he get the LMA Manager of the year too? That's obviously something about him. As bad as Chelsea are, themselves and Brighton do often find good managers, and they've been clamouring for him. The question is how good is he? But it's possibly an opportunity we don't want to miss out on if there's so much buzz about him. I'm sure Ineos and their guys are hearing great things about him.
it feels like we've moved way past that point now, don't bring the tone down.That’s exactly what we thought we’d be getting with ETH. It all depends if he can implement it here.
Ye maybe. There’s no denying that what he’s achieved the last couple of years is superb. But jumping from Ipswich to one of the biggest in the world is a big ask. I agree Brighton find good managers, not so sure on Chelsea since they change managers more than anyone els in the league. I want to see him do well in the premier league with either Ipswich or Brighton before we consider him, we can’t afford to get our next appointment wrong.
Yeah backwards. Last full season under Potter they finished 8th, 51 points, -3 GD, this season they finished 10th, 48 points, -7 GD. Each of those are the literal definition of backwards. Even last season, which you have called "sensational", he took over a team in 4th and finished 6th - I'm in no way suggesting they would have finished 4th under Potter but given how well they had started the season, there's no evidence to suggest they couldn't have finished 6th had he stayed either. I've got no dislike for Brighton, I've been at every game we've played against them since he took over and they're good to watch but that's about it. As for saying he's got the better of United every time we've played, well that's just ridiculous unless the sun on Saturday really messed with my head and Brighton actually were in the Cup Final last year and we lost there on the final day this year? Am I supposed to be impressed by them having the fourth most possession but apparently creating the tenth most xG in the league? The xG and xGA you've given me, which I'm presuming is expected goals against, shows that finishing 10th was a pretty fair reflection of their season, which would confirm they've gone backwards this season as if the earlier stats given didn't already show that. His time at Brighton is genuinely one of the most overrated managerial performances of the past decade or so.
Got the better of Ten Hags Utd statistically I said. I was also at Wembley and they should’ve won that semi final last year. They outplayed us, and they also outplayed us 2 weeks ago until a defensive mix up got Dalot through. The commentators concurred and said Brighton should’ve been 3-0 up.
Sorry, I just find Southgate even being linked with us hilarious.
I mean it's just not true that they outplayed us at Wembley. They had more of the ball, we had more of the chances. You'd expect them to have had more of the ball, they were fresh and we'd put in our worst performance of the season 3 days earlier and didn't have the defence we had relied on for the majority of that season. Even the game at Brighton last week, they had plenty of the ball and Pedro probably should have scored in the first half but equally so should McTominay. They're a pretty team to watch but that's about it.
To get promoted playing dominant possession based attacking football and keeping Brentford in PL for three seasons seem two be a very underrated achievement. Thomas Frank has worked wonders with a very limited budget and loads of injuries this year. He’s a flexible, intelligent and motivational coach who knows how he wants his teams to play.
Going back to Brighton

There were some rumours and Pep gave him glowing praises.
Should be Southgate's successor for England, she's proven she can actually win silverware at that level
