Brighton are clearly a very well-run club. This is a good read.

Even in a season where they are generally thought to have underperformed they still look they'll have a top half finish - with the 13th biggest wage bill and 17th most expensive squad.

That's quite a drop-off

Just announced by Brighton that De Zerbi is gone after tomorrow. Off to Bayern maybe?

Doubt it.

That's Klopp's job.

Klopp will be his assistant.

The end of the golden days.

In true Brighton style, the next head coach is 31yo Fabian Hurzeler fresh from taking St Pauli back to the Bundesliga.

I have a sneaking suspicion that De Zerbi is getting the Utd job. No real reasoning, just a hunch.

Not sure how I feel about it tbh. Better than Gareth though.

He did have Brighton in very good shape for a while but it fell apart. Smart Tony wasn't long making the call.

It will be interesting to see what he'd be like with higher value players. Might be better for him to move back to Italy first and take one of the bigger clubs there.
