Doubt that'll come as too much of a surprise to a good many. Haven't seen them play a great deal but the reports and opinion you heard was that it was as dull as dishwater watching Brighton these last few months. The step up seems to have shown up his limitations. Sure people are going to suggest it's unfair, what do Brighton expert with the resources available etc etc. Clearly they want someone who can do better with those limited resources. Whether they find someone better of course remains to be seen. Doubt Hughton will be out of work for long...

It's always after the last 10 games these days. They stayed up. End of. Unless your the Top 6, any of them could go. What do they actually want ! Not so long ago they were entertained 6,000 people at home to the likes of us. Now they have a fantastic new ground, 25,000 plus every game and there in the top league. I for one hope they go next season...

Cruel, certainly. I like Hughton.
Wrong decision? Not so sure. I thought Southampton were crazy a few years ago when they sacked Adkins. They'd lined up Pochettino to replace him …..

Everyone gets up in arms when ‘nice’ managers get sacked. The football they played and their performance level this season has been utterly dreadful.

Season ticket holding friend of mine said he preferred being in Championship when they would win more games and scored goals.

I have a very good friend who has been a season ticket holder for a long time, when discussing the manager a few weeks back he said that owner Tony Bloom publicly said he would not sack the manager as it is not his philosophy or ethics. Clearly ethics and philosophy get trumped by money every time.

What I didn't know until I watched match of the day last night was that all PL clubs also get prize money based on where they finish! Blimey, isn't the TV money not enough?
Shows you though how little I know about the PL. Last night was the first time that I had watched MoTD this season.

John Barnes already trying to make it about race. Nothing to do with race, everything to do with his s**t brand of football.

Third lowest budget in the Premier League apparently. In that context he's done a decent job, he's left a good basis for whoever comes in. Ex Town loanee Graham Potter is the bookies favourite.

I was down Brighton way over Easter and popped along to watch them lose to Cardiff.
Brighton looked fairly decent, until Cardiff scored, then went to pieces. They looked awful after that.
What I found interesting when travelling back to Eastbourne on the train was that no Brighton fans I over heard were wanting him out.
Seemed a patient bunch.
The Amex is an amazing stadium by the way. Well worth a visit if anyone is down that way.

A hiding to nothing at yesterday’s game I think chairmen think it’s makes Brighton a more attractive proposition by having a pre season etc rather than joining mid way through a season. Plus probably thought CH deserved to see the season out.

It's something about the south coast, likes of Brighton, Southampton, Bournemouth, & poss Pompey next term, none are in that top six, the Euro club, instead, fight it out with the bottom 3rd teams ya yo clubs, which makes Wolves success even more amazing ....as for Hughton, he's a good man, won't be out for long....but as the top six is off and away, more like he end up in Championship I guess...

It's a bit underwhelming for the Brighton faithful when they seem to have their eyes set on Graham Potter as a replacement. Bit like Stoke and that Jones bloke, or as some on here would say like Town and that Ricketts bloke!!!

Premier league survival for the second year running and a decent cup run is a good season for a manager who them over and steered them away from relegation to league one just over 4 years ago.

Doubt that'll come as too much of a surprise to a good many. Haven't seen them play a great deal but the reports and opinion you heard was that it was as dull as dishwater watching Brighton these last few months. The step up seems to have shown up his limitations. Sure people are going to suggest it's unfair, what do Brighton expert with the resources available etc etc. Clearly they want someone who can do better with those limited resources. Whether they find someone better of course remains to be seen. Doubt Hughton will be out of work for long... Or, the step up has exposed Brighton's limitations and Hughton has done well to keep them up there despite them. When you're relying on a 35 year old as your main striker, the best coach in the world hasn't got the ideal ingredients to work with. I suspect it's all part of the strategy that brought Dan Ashworth in as technical director. Perhaps Brighton will follow the Watford "head coach" model, in which case Potter seems like a good fit.

I suspect it's all part of the strategy that brought Dan Ashworth in as technical director. Perhaps Brighton will follow the Watford "head coach" model, in which case Potter seems like a good fit. Or indeed. That's a fair point. I guess that is something we'll find out next season. But I can understand the move when you hear the comments made about how Brighton have gone about things. They are of course up against it big time and I guess it's about chancing their arm and hoping to land on someone who can take it a little further forward. I guess this season was a little too close for comfort and they're willing to risk it with the thinking they would be set to go through the very same again with Hughton at the helm. I suspect he'll land up in the Championship rather than the Premier League, mind. But then to be fair that might well be more about him being English (as we know how the top clubs love their foreign managers) rather than his managerial skills. And you wonder who Brighton will now turn to. As it would be great if an English manager was given the opportunity. Amazing story down there considering where they were and the mess they were in. Decent stadium. Decent crowds. Decent catchment area, affluent to boot. It'll be a struggle but no reason why they can't establish themselves at that level for a good time to come...

You don't need big crowds to sustain a Premier League club these days. The broadcasting money levels the playing field to a significant extent, at least amongst the extras (as opposed to the big 6 or 8 or whatever). Bournemouth, Watford and Burnley are doing fine without the supporter numbers of, say, Villa, Leeds or Derby. Different times. Brighton could do well from here - they're doing pretty well already!

Absolute Gent on and off the field of play , it looks a harsh thing to do to a manager who's managed to take a team from 4th bottom of the Championship into their 3rd season in the Premiere League , add to that 2 FA Cup quarter finals and this seasons Semi final as well , if you just looked at the stats you would have to say the chairman Tony Bloom is somewhat off his trolley , he's not , and the games iv'e been to watch involving Brighton this season (about 15) have been some of the hardest watches i can ever remember watching any team ! absolutely awful style and tactics . Brighton started off the season plodding along nicely amassing 27 points come the new year , Brighton appointed Dan Ashworth in February and was it coincidental their form a absolute nosedive ? who knows how these upstairs appointments work at football clubs , but it was a incredible bad run of form that saw them survive by just 2 points . After Brighton were guaranteed safety due to Palace beating Cardiff , those who watched Brighton deny Arsenal a top 4 place with a excellent 1-1 away performance would be scratching their heads as to how they were in such a mess , Brighton had Arsenal on the rack for much of the game though Arsenal did miss a few sitters , none easier than the Gross sitter for Brighton near the end to win it , so Brighton actually could play a open fast direct style of football , WHEN SAFE in the knowledge they will be a premiere league club next season , Bloom the chairman obviously wants to take the next step and progress rather than just survive , and with the money he has poured into his beloved club approaching £300 million he's entitled to i suppose . Imagine how far Brighton would have progressed if £240 millions of that money were actually on players and not for dragging the club out of the gutter and building a fantastic new stadium , a state of the art youth acadamey , i like Bloom , he's a proper football supporter spending his own money on the club he supports as well as owns , iv'e no doubt it was a tremendously hard decision to make in sacking Hughton but you don't get to be as successful as Bloom by being sentimental , i consider Brighton supporters as being one of the luckiest set of football fans on the planet , but remember where they were before Mr Bloom , in the main , the most iv'e met do remember how bad it was , no ground no money no future , and yet here they are , playing in the best league in the world , so all's Shrewsbury need to find is a ruthless likeable billionaire that has the club he supports at heart to begin the journey
