He probably did give good advice to Sisu, but they were too stubburn to take it. So he thought 'if that's your attitude, I'm off to somewhere else who wants help!':thinking about:

Note the working for an "ambitious and well run club" totally the opposite to our basket case of a club!!!!

This one flew right by me! The general reaction of Brighton tweeters is pretty positive-indeed they're over the moon with his appointment. Having said that, their chairman covered the Amex stadium costs, they don't pay rent, they have a decent team, and are even talking about expanding the ground after just a single season. Suffice to say that our move to the Ricoh and theirs to the Amex couldn't have worked out any differently! You win this round Wingy ;):mad:

Well what to make of it .The guy tendered his resignation in December ,left in Feb ,Turned up on Sisu's bench in April.Would have to guess Brighton were always his destination so the only question for us,does the timing of this announcement signify anything about Ricoh negotiations
