Blimey, things are getting desperate. Frankly, I expect Mark McGhee to be on the phone any day now, offering me a rôle in midfield.
I’m not talking about football at the moment.
Anyone want to open a book on when Mark McGhee will leave for greener pastures?
A few current and recent news stories:

Brighton may need money, but Brighton does not need Bill Archer’s money. Top marks to Dick Knight.
Brian Clough, 1935-2004, and manager of Brighton and Hove Albion for a few months in 1974.
…why I haven’t written here about Brighton and Hove Albion in recent weeks, I think that getting one point from four games is fairly disastrous, and probably not the cause for any optimism. The team clearly needs to do something different to get some more positive results, and whilst I’m not yet calling for the manager’s scalp and still firmly believe that Mark McGhee is a good manager, I do think he needs to be a little less optimistic and a touch more realistic.
I think Brighton have a better-than-average chance of staying in Division 1 (or whatever it is called these days) this season, although yesterday’s match was not the best start we could have wished for. But, in spite of that, I think Brighton’s performance bodes well for the rest of the season.
