Brighton has given the head of recruitment permission to speak with Chelsea. That's in addition to losing our Director of Football to Newcastle and Manager along with all coaching staff also to Chelsea over the last 6 months.

Absolutely rinsed.

loving hell. Do you trust the owners to appoint sound replacements? You'd assume they didn't dumb luck their way into all the excellent appointments they previously made in those positions.

Kind of, our owner is into moneyball/deep analytics poo poo (his main business is advising high stake gamblers) and keeps a list of replacement staff for any eventuality.

Still hasn't helped us sign a striker who can shoot direct at goal since Glenn Murray retired three seasons ago.

beautiful analogy

you see this in American college sports. a small school will find an incredible coach whose clock starts ticking once he’s successful, and there’s no way they can compete financially with a larger school to keep him. the coach ends up earning millions, leaving lots of frustrated players and smaller schools in his wake

Not only did he make a dumb joke about being able to beat a disabled man in a race, he also took the video himself to post it according to his blog as reported by some Norwegian footy news app/site: https://www.fotmob.com/news/1aq5g53...27joke%27-video

quote:

Former Premier League referee Bobby Madley has revealed he was sacked for sending a video in which he mocked a disabled person.

Madley left his role in August 2018 and refereeing body Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) said at the time he had "decided to relocate due to a change in his personal circumstances".

However, the 34-year-old explained in a blog post on Tuesday - titled 'Time to move on' - that he had been "dismissed with immediate effect for gross misconduct on grounds of discrimination".

Madley wrote that he sent a video to a friend, which was later passed to his employers, in which he captioned a clip of a person with a walking impairment: "F*** me, I have a chance of winning the parents race this year."

The official said he had been "fat shamed" in the media and described as "Blobby Bobby", so he had intended the message as a private joke.

"Out of context, I accept this reads shamefully. I accept that," Madley wrote. "However, my intention was that the joke was aimed at myself."

He added: "I regret taking the video, I regret sending that video, and while it was a dark humoured joke, it was just that: a joke.

"It was not intended to shame anyone, it was not intended to be seen by anyone other than the person I sent it to privately in a text message on my own personal phone."

Jesse Marsch having a normal and calm one posted:

If we go game to game and you look at the fact we haven’t won in eight games based on how we’ve performed over the eight games, it’s almost impossible to believe that two points is all that we’ve earned.

But that’s our reality right, in those eight games and all the phases in those games? What if Luis (Sinisterra) scores at Brighton on the two-inch line and it doesn’t go wide?

What if we score the penalty against Arsenal? What if - you can go through what ifs, but it doesn’t matter, right? You could still look at the metrics and you could look at different things and you could say, we’re actually doing OK, which I believe. But in the end again, right now, if we continue losing matches, then everything in the entire project is in jeopardy. We’ve got to figure out a way to stop that.

I’m a little angry right now. I’m tired of playing matches where we’re in the match and in many cases we’re better than the opponent and walking away with nothing. I’m tired of not capitalising on moments when we’re the better team and I’m tired of giving away goals too cheaply, tired of not getting results we should be getting.

Fourteen years as a player, 13 years a coach and I’ve never lost this much in my career. I’m sick of it. So I’m trying to figure out which guys can be counted on at the highest level right now, what kind of decisions need to be made in terms of match plans. I need to help find the group confidence and find the guys who are ready to fight for everything right now in these next matches, to do everything we can to get the points we need.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
