I haven’t read a lot of comments but fair play there is a lot of fans from other clubs on there sticking up for him, saying there’s only so much he could do with the tactics he has been made to play in. One guy said that you could see he was a decent player in the Man City game.

Amazing how many of their fans can think things will get better now. Promoted, kept in the Premier League for 2 seasons, reached FA Cup semis...a long way down from there...

dont believe that non sense for a second - hughton LOVES JB. he was scouting him for a long time, he went to holland with him for a ceremony ffs what kind of manager would do that for a player they didn't want?

Exactly. If anything, it's vice versa.

BHA will get relegated now - Championship-level players, not much money, problem with team spirit that even a nice-guy coach can't fix.

Hughton, despite his football, was doing a miracle keeping these guys above water. The promoted sides for next season (Canaries, Blades and likely LUFC) have better squads. Even though NCFC have less money than BHA, they have spent it very very well over the last 1-2 seasons.

Interesting, because I always thought Hughton was the one who really wanted him.

Read an interview with ARJ's advisor a few days ago. Basically ARJ is killing it in training, but he's nervous or something and can't do it yet on the field.
Advisor said 2nd season he'll turn int around.

Graham Potter is the favorite by the Bookies to be the next manager.

Alireza + Saman union incoming?

i suppose lack of Prem experience is the biggest knock against his possible appointment..!? and his relative obscurity ?? but from tactical and inspirational leadership perspective he could be an ideal candidate for BHA, outside the obvious list of Prem journey-men coaches who just swap teams every year in EPL/Championship, each with varying success rates..!

the swift dumping of Chris, hours after yet another pathetic, uninspiring and frankly embarrassing performance by BHA, this time with watchful eyes of the whole of country if not the world, may suggest either a knee jerk decision.. ? or more likely a calculated one with the possible replacement already identified to be lined up to take over asap with minimal waste of precious preparations for next season ..! besides; had CH been kept on, the recruitment folks in the club woulda struggled mightily in their attempts to attract any other attacking player to join their ranks for next season, witnessing what happened to the likes of Jahanbakhsh this year..!! hell even Samaan as you suggest here would told them to take a hike...!!

btw, saman ghodoos is precisely the ideal sorta of player that the club needs and actually are now well capable of attracting and affording with CH out of the picture..! a very stark possibility especially if Potter gets the position indeed..!!

There will be a lot of rumours and former professionals etc giving their opinions in the press over the next few days and sadly due to ARJ being their record signing and Brighton having a poor season then he will be used as a scapegoat. I agree with some of you that it was reported that he was wanted by Hughton for a long time before he came and Hughton was the one who told the Brighton fans that they hadn’t seen the best of him yet.
Hopefully the new guy who comes in has some sense to see that he is better than the player he was last season and gives him a chance but also Alireza has to prove himself to the new manager in training and in how he holds himself.
As I said a while back it was interesting how these attacking players were brought from abroad and none of them were able to prove themselves and lacked confidence and there was a reason for it, which was Hughtons tactics.

I think this was a good move for Brighton, I just don't know what this means for Jahanbakhsh...

[Sly]

As far as I remember JB himself said he chose Brighton over Leicester city mostly because in the former's case it was the coach who'd been wanting him for 4 years.

[Nokhodi]

Reading articles that he didn't want to sign AJ as it didn't fit his style of play but it was down to the board and committee using stats and algorithms.
