Brighton say no — this time

The offer from Liverpool for Stefanos Tzimas was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

James Beadle keeps Brighton in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad28 Aug 2028

Mark O'Mahony keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Brighton may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market28 Aug 2028

James Beadle asks to leave Brighton

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match26 Aug 2028

The wait goes on for Brighton

5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad28 Aug 2028

Anthony Murray is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 18 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Words at Brighton training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ferdi Kadıoğlu is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match26 Aug 2028

Manchester City take the points off Brighton

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Off the pace: Stefanos Tzimas

A mark of 5.15 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.

Squad15 Nov 2027

David Reid breaks a bone — 52 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 52 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad15 Nov 2027

A one-man rearguard from Jason Steele

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad15 Nov 2027

Bart Verbruggen in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Brighton this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad15 Nov 2027

Stefanos Tzimas falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings15 Nov 2027

Nobody could get near Yankuba Minteh

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match13 Nov 2027

Harry Howell’s goal not enough for Brighton

Harry Howell scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Bournemouth, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Player ratings15 Nov 2027

Georginio Rutter could not find anything

4.72. Every footballer has these and most of them happen away from a full ground; his did not, and he will be aware of that all week.

Market15 Nov 2027

Yankuba Minteh linked with a move away

The name of Yankuba Minteh keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Brighton say nothing, which says plenty.

Player ratings15 Nov 2027

Off the pace: Evan Ferguson

A mark of 5.36 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.

Boardroom12 Jul 2027

Still nobody in the Brighton dugout

41 days with the chair empty, a list of names that grows and shrinks by the day, and not one signature on anything. Every week that passes takes the best candidates off it.

NEC are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Brighton will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad12 Jul 2027

13 new faces, and Brighton are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.
