Done a good job everywhere really and despite his Mag connections he seems a decent bloke and is certainly underrated.

Agreed mate and was doing well till the Geordie nayshun hounded him out

Cost of squad compared to his former club and fellow promoted club he's doing a better job than super Mario over rated Benitez

I like him too and there is no doubt he's a good manager.
But in saying that, Brighton have spent close to €50 million during the summer and over the past few seasons in the Championship they've spent some decent fees on players too.
Our history of transfers never being thought out have bitten us right in the arse, Brighton have signed solid pro's from around Europe who came in and do a professional job, every summer a massive turnover on players was only going to end in disaster for us
Brighton have a far greater net spend than Newcastle since the summer of 2016........
No use slating the Mags for the sake of it either if you haven't got the correct facts.

I'm not on about net spend I'm on about how much the mags squad cost compared to BrightonI like him too and there is no doubt he's a good manager.

It's true. You wanted him out.

Two different things though isn't it? Net spend might be higher (haven't checked like) but in terms of how much the players they can put out on the pitch cost I'd assume the mags are a fair way ahead

Brighton have spent more on players than Newcastle this summer so that need's to be taken into account in any argument.
Seem to remember everyone being quite happy but wasn’t a big enough name for Ashley.

Very likeable bloke. Wish him well.
So if we look at their respective sides (first eleven and bench), who has the more expensively assembled squad? That's the lads point isn't it? I mean, in theory man city could have a net spend of -£5m over two years and SAFC could have a net spend of £3m, we could even (in some crazy parallel world) outspend them one summer. If, however, the total value of our squad added up to about £10m and theirs was £500m, you'd still expect them to significantly outperform us

Striker
it's true no need to laugh
He wasn't enough of a patsy. Sided with the players over bonuses and was binned in favour of doormat Alan.
Taffyduck
Striker
The same doormat that got you a 5th place finish ?
mr chuckles
Striker
They might have but I'm sure without looking in to what both clubs have spent this summer I would think if you looked at both clubs squad the mags would have spent more
That very one. Nearly got us relegated from that lofty position 12 month's later, what a guy.
Qwerty
Striker
They didn't. Plenty things to criticise the mags for without making things up.

It’s absolute bollocks to be fair. They were pretty pissed off and it came out of the blue.
