The no pre-conceived ideas is the key. As you say they do what they believe is right and they normally are right.
they’re executing well.
we talk the talk but with people who don’t know how to execute it
The thing is, selecting a playing identity, and identifying the individuals that fit that identity, is probably the easiest part of it. It's weird that they don't seem to be able to do that.
Maybe they are maybe not don't get the relevance
Still don't get what that's got to do with our new manager search mind.
This is the latest post on their forum ...
... I wonder how his appointment would go down on Sunderland forums.
"Finding it difficult to share some of the excitement. Seems to be based on him coming from a trendy club, playing a similar style and being a left-field appointment.
On the flip side, he’s younger than several of our senior players with no experience of coaching at the top level or of English football. He’s going to have to be pretty good from the off to command respect.
As always, I’ll trust that Tony Bloom knows best and can pull another rabbit out of the hat - but it’s certainly a risk when you compare it to the type of CV our other Premier League bosses boasted. It’s… interesting. Hopefully a stroke of genius."
Im not actually sure we want to do it. We say we do. I’m not convinced we’ve even tried and failed. I think we have purely recruited players that have resale value and hoped a head coach can put them together and make something work.
Yeah we could be due a surprise. At the end of the day there's about 4 people who know, the rest is just guess work and hearsay
Because you see people dismissing coaches based upon things that are irrelevant and an extremely smart club like Brighton dismissing them things proves that they are irrelevant. Things like experience in the league, standard they have coached at and age are things i've seen people dismiss potentially excellent coaches for us for.
You're ignoring a hell of a lot of positive comments on there. As one of them says, football is meant to be fun and this appointment is fun.
Don't Brighton have the advantage of the unique Bloom data model that is the envy of most clubs?
No I'm not, I looked and that was the latest, 4 minutes earlier ...
... just as I said.
Could well be the case. I can see the point of recruiting on the basis of resale value, but to increase their value, players have to play and impress. So, if that is the policy it's a highly flawed one. Obviously.
So, most teams seem to be appointing managers weeks after their previous one left, yet here we are still pissing about. The tow the line response will be well we need to make sure we get the right man. But those other clubs will be in the same boat. Why are we so different? Something not sitting right with me. Just my opinion mind before anyone goes all in.
So why not post a bunch of them instead of a singular one? Weren't you joining in the ****e from the other day aimed at me and others for apparently using particular things and ignoring others to invent narratives? Almost as if you do the exact same thing.
Because I only looked at that one, just as I said.
Someone asked about how the Brighton fans would feel so I had a quick look.
It was the first one, at the top of their board, and it's a subject I've very little interest in, if any.
If it hadn't been posted, on here, I'd not have even known they were looking at him.
Please tell me what I've aimed at you, I really don't remember doing that.
because of the absolute sh1t show after TM went...guess we are all hoping it means they are getting this one right so i am siding with the club atm.
Doesn't mean a thing tho what a few randoms on the Internet say mate, the club will do what they thinks best.
Imagine if we announced Potter on Monday.
RTG would be screaming we’ve overpaid and it’s desperation trying to win back the fans…

I get that. The trouble I have is I don't really trust the powers that be to get it right.
