Its is just a sad reality not a defence of Orta.
I take your point Ian, but jeez some of this guys are beyond belief and only go to highlight his lack of judgement, i know he has some sort of high tech abacus thingymebob which throws out players, but ffs go and watch them live, because i could easily go and watch them and just say ' I don't know how your computer jobbie threw that one out coz he's utter garbage leave him well alone'

Whereas this dick goes and pays £20m+ for them.

Not sure who you are alluding to with those numbers Ken.

Rod and James?

Not the worst players, both Internationals, overpriced indeed but hardly rubbish either.

Expect them both to have a Stellar season under Ted and we can applaud Ortas prophetic instincts in bringing them in well ahead of time.

New season, new brush and all that.

Brighton have signed defender Pervis Estupinan from Spanish club Villarreal for an undisclosed fee.

The Ecuador left-back, 24, has signed a five-year contract.

Just watched the Extended Highlights vs Leicester. They looked terrific.

Leicester look in disarray right now. But they also make our performance against Brighton look pretty decent.

Everyone has been saying that Brighton has no attack. But they were great in this game. MacAllister scored a great free kick and almost had a highlight reel hat trick. He scored a screamer from outside the box that was disallowed for an earlier offside.

They lost some really good players in Cucurella, Bissouma, and Maupay - Who brought in more money than the biggest 3 players we sold. But they continue to improve yet again.

Fees Received: $125 million
Fees Spent: $52 million

I think we need to stop referring to the Leicester model and start talking about the Brighton model

“I think my model is Brighton, which has built their project over time and has finally achieved its goal,” Radrizzani told The Times.

He's had them all :lol:

Brighton, Bournemouth, Leicester, Wolves.

I'll take the Brighton model out of that lot. But it all depends on finding a guy like Graham Potter. Maybe that's what they had in mind when they went for Heckingbotton.

Kjetil Knutsen is manager of Bodø/Glimt in Norway.

2nd place finish in there 2nd season in the Norway top league.

Won the title the following year.

And again the year after that.

In 2021 his team became the first team ever to score 6 goals vs a Jose Mourinho team as Bodø/Glimt beat Roma 6-1 in the Europa League.

He is a 3 time Eliteserien Coach of the Year.

Would seem a risky if potentially exciting appointment.

It won't be him, but Brendan Rodgers would be the best fit for the way the current are playing.

Norwegian guy sounds interesting.

Sportsman’s bet. I believe Brighton knew this was coming and they already had a shortlist.
Such an open market. Marcelo 20/1😱
I’ll go with Cooper. He won’t be worried about buggering off. Done it before
