He's delivered a trophy for them for the first time in over 40 years. I think that gives him some breathing space surely. Unless he decides for some reason to go back to Everton when they panic sack Dyche before the October international break. Which I would doubt.

Yeah it definitely brought him more time as you'd expect. He's just been on the brink of being sacked a few times though and was still 2nd favourite to go this season but they've started the season really well tbf.

Why wouldn't a neutral big Brighton up, it's been a brilliant story what they've achieved in last decade. Same for Brentford and Luton. Only issue is people think what they do is completely bullet proof. Go back a decade and Southampton and Swansea were in similar positions playing in europe. Then they made poor transfer decisions and managerial appointments and started slipping down the league table. A decade before it was likes of Charlton and Bolton. If you're outside the Saudi/Qatar cartel ownership you're only a few bad decisions away from that happening as we saw post O'Neill. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve scraped past Wolves courtesy of an injury time penalty not given against them, and scraped past Forest who were down to 10 men and won with a soft penalty. Lost to Spurs. Jury still very much out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying they’re wrong, I’m saying that personally, me, just me, is bored of hearing about how wonderful Brighton are. You’re kind of proving my point, I can’t even say I’ve enjoyed seeing them lose without people starting mounting a defence of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
