Last time we did good business in a PL window we had a competent manager.
This could go one of two ways.
Is Bielsa advising Gary.
I doubt Gary wouldn't have some input after no wins in 10 games and a 150 dollar gamble.
Tell me I'm wrong.

He's sitting outside his house, in his car with the window down, waiting for camera crews to arrive.
Niko Kranjcar in next, then
Isn't it a spectrum rather than either/or?
It can go anywhere from meltdown to challenging for Europe with the most likely scenarios being somewhere around that dotted line between 17th and 18th?
Of course it's a spectrum, and yes the alternatives are clear to see.
Failure or success.
But if I was a chairman who had spunked 120 million quid on players, I'd probably have someone with a bit of a track record to organise them.
With less than half a season remaining, Gary hasn't shown enough (given his recent record) for anyone but a mad man to overseas his management of 5 foreign players.
Gary has been unable to convey himself in English thus far.
I'm guessing at least 50 per cent of our new signings don't have English as their first language.
Would love to be proved wrong, but 120 million pound gamble to stay up half way through a season is just that, a massive gamble.

Working for BrightonOne thing we also need to prepare for in the future is a higher turnover of players than we have been used to. I think a lot of these players are coming to us because they have been told that it is their chance to shine in the PL. If they do that, we will get big offers for them and will let them move on to bigger things.
I think that's ok, that can be our selling point, but then it's up to us to recruit adequate replacements. If it works, it's understandable but it will be different.
I think the days of us having a very settled squad are probably behind us.
The business model will be about finding players with great promise, showcasing their talents in the PL and then hopefully selling them on for a profit.
A completely different approach to what we've been used to and a new challenge for the recruitment staff and manager.
Exactly ! I was thinking that but couldn't bring myself to type that word !Working for Brighton
