I agree we should have sacked him but we also have been in a few semis and in finals since the 90s Brighton haven't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand the point you are driving at here. They beat Bournemouth, West Brom, Derby and Millwall. Winning 4 games of football is great (Millwall on penalties) but it isn't a reason to keep a manager. Portsmouth, Millwall, Hull, Stoke, Cardiff, Wigan, Palace. Villa. Plenty of plum average teams go on cup runs. They all made the final, a couple of them won it. I'm not trying to devalue the FA Cup here, I'm saying that making a semi final is absolutely not reason enough to keep a manager if you decide he isn't the right man to push the club forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's your expectation though. If your a club like Brighton who it is very rare to get to Wembley that's a achievement in my eyes. I think you are devaluing the fa Cup. I love Di t when we got to the cup semis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Italian media claiming that Chelsea will sack Sarri and hire Lampard. would be hilarious if they hired him, but with the transfer embargo next season will be a wash anyway so might be a good learning opportunity while also hard to find a higher level manager.

mattyg38 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) How would you rate Hughton on the Peppulis management scale? He centainly isnt anti -football so I am not sure where he is better suited to West Brom or Middlesbrough. I think he plays decent football but I am sure if you asked Brighton fans see him closer to anti-football that total football.
