Whoever said hed be gone at the end of the season.. good knowledge, he's been sacked.
Seems harsh. What are they expecting other than staying up?

Pure racism
That will be the call from the BMA and other associated organisations.

Can’t see Phil making such a big move straight away, especially with Jan scraping a few results together the past two games.
However, would love to take him now - think he’s got all the qualities needed to stabilise use and get us back up. He can kidnap Knockaert & Dunk too if he wants.

Hughton clearly done a fantastic job there, but he's also taken them as far as he could at this level and with the squad the scouting department/club ownership are building him.
You'd imagine they go for a continental, more attacking-focused manager now

Another chairman who seems to think his club should be doing better. Brighton should be happy staying in the league every year

I suppose its just down to a lack of faith. There won;t be 2 teams as crap as us and Fulham next season, so unless they improve quite a lot, they'll likely go down next season. If the owner thinks the manager can't improve a side, and to be fair brighton seem to have gone backwards under Hughton in the last year despite spending quite a lot of money, then theres only one likely outcome. Its tough on him. Hes achieved what he was supposed to. But think the owners guessing he won;t be able to next season. |

On the rare occasions that the camera wasn't on Guardiola yesterday, Hughton looked like someone that had already been told he wouldnt be in charge next season. He's probably taken them as far as he can with the budget they have. Think it will be a tough job for whoever come in keeping them up unless all the promoted sides next season fail spectacularly and I can't see that happening.

The writing was on the wall for him quite a few weeks ago as their form plummeted, and the fans became increasingly unhappy with his defensive mentality. I dare say if you venture onto North stand chat (their Datm) most will be pleased with this move. In a way they are not too dissimilar to Town, whereby the manager that got them up there kept them up but then appears to have become further and further entrenched in "Safety first" football. Their recruitment has also been poor, once again mirroring Town.

It's football unfortunately there is no logic anymore. There has been murmurings from some Brighton fans due to style of football and like us some players bought for comparable big money who quite clearly not a progression to what they had. I can see why this has happened but its gonna bite them in the arse ala charrlton. Would I have him here damn right I would. |

I don't think he'll need to have any worries about getting another job anyway!

The 'style' of football used to be immaterial if you stayed up, apparently thats no longer the case..?? Given the wage bills of mid and low premier league clubs its probably fair to say that more should be expected from your team in the games against teams of a similar stature and league position.. Having just done enough may no longer be acceptable? Watching Brighton this season was almost as dull as watching us at times and the 'benchmark' for the bottom half of the top division is moving up with the 'money'.. Survival with a bit of style and excitement might be the next lowest expectation?? The money dictates all..? |

Get him in as DOF with the promise he can take over as manager if/when it goes tits up under Siewert.

He'll probably wait until it goes tits up under Parker at Fulham and get that job.

Derby aren't going to get past Leeds and Id expect Sheff utd to at least compete until the end especially if they can keep Sharp fit. Makes a big difference having a player who knows how to score a goal... we're proof of that. Its unusual to have 2 clubs relegated so early, maybe even unique for the prem? |

Personally think it's ridiculous but, having said as much on twitter, was surprised to see many thinking it's the right move.
I think it's got to be a case of be careful what you wish for. Get the wrong man now they're down in a year.

Sack Jan, Announce Chris. Then watch him fly out the door when he sees the budget. How about you do something unusual and give Jan a fair chance, you never know it might work. |

Pure racism That will be the call from the BMA and other associated organisations. If that's what you want to think crack on, race has nothing to do with this decision & I'll be surprised if they do make anything out of this. The guy has kept their head above water, the owner wants some breathing space next season & he thinks Hughton isn't the bloke for the job... I mentioned yesterday that Souness was blowing smoke up his arse (albeit mildly) in the lovery dovey aftermath of Man C's victory. It was nothing more than an end of season throwaway comment due to the party atmosphere. Hughton has been lucky this season, they're not a great side in reality, they just did what we did last season & managed to get points on the board in the first half of the season... It would however be funny, if the BMA & others commented on this as being down to his skin colour and Brighton go and bring in a black Mgr to replace him... |

To be fair, I think - hope? - that k1man999 was being sarky. Every decision anywhere in the world where someone of non-white ethnicity ends up a loser is always treated as a race crime by some snowflake somewhere. It really irritates me. |

Sack Jan, Announce Chris. After a pre season that we do not know what will happen with the club and a few poor games at the start of next season, sack Chris and then?  Sadly after a 'unknown' pre season and a few good results at the start of next year some will still say sack Jan.. We did not have a 'name' to get here and the truth is we can forget 2018/19 and lessons learned were for our next Premier stint, this next season will be very, very different.. Hughton went massively 'risk averse', it worked but clearly not well enough for a board that wants to be more ambitious.. spending your money in the championship on the manager looks to be reasonably 'risky' at the moment..? could be Farke/Wilder/ex brentford boss and an assistant from west brom?? If Bielsa gets Leeds up its still just one out of 3 that gets a very big wage.. maybe next season will be different when Bruce, Lampard and another 'name' get up??? |

We all know for sure how hard it is to find a manager who can keep a fairly small club at the highest level of British football especially for more than one season thus seems as rare as finding a piece of rocking horse shit
Maybe a case here of BE CAREFUL FOR WHAT YOU WISH FOR unless proven different come the end of next season
Got a feeling Chris wont be unemployed for long , and certainly looks to me like Brightons loss and another clubs gain
