I can see them regressing now regardless of who they get in. When is the last time a manager left us for bigger and better things? Yeah, although not the first and not the last to get **** by modern football, these same few clubs have done it for decades now with the protection of the game. If they’re allowed to do it I can’t see why they wouldn’t, the same with the things we do that smaller clubs would find shitty. If the laws of the game were stricter like you see in some American sports where no team can really establish permanent position in the ‘elite’, instead of bending over backwards because these clubs are #toobigtofail, we’d have a bit more of a competition again. It will be comfort to Brighton fans that they have people at the club who realise the most important game starts off the pitch, and beating the opposition to young quality players that ‘come out of nowhere’ and seeing through manager ‘win percentages’ and ‘pedigree’ and instead just getting really good coaches and tacticians are their best bet at longer term success and stability. watch as they hire Nigel Pearson now and make me look a clearing in the woods.

Guest av1 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Just came to post this, incredible sad. It’s horrible to talk about money when the boys career has been ended, but will the lad be insured for this sort of stuff? Whilst his health is obviously the most important thing there is also the financial aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine both club and player are insured against things like this, didn't he cost them £18million to sign him Either way, it's better Mwepo is ok and can live a life, which hasn't been the case in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Damn, yeah if you think how hard he’s worked in his life with dedication to get to this point in his career moving to Europe from Zambia to have to end your career as a precaution. I’m sure he felt a lot of responsibility to his family back home and Zambia itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Funny watching them work. Such predictable, and great, moves in the transfer market. All the time. They've got about 10 years to break into the top 4/6 before everyone works like them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s so odd that all of these names pop up on here months in advance of transfer windows and then they’re linked with Brighton. Surely following their model can’t be that hard. I’m astounded they manage to sign these players when like you say, they’re such obvious targets for so many clubs. Surely he’s worth a punt at €10m or whatever? Even if we loaned him back for a season or whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
