Your support makes all the difference.Brighton have sacked Chris Hughton in a decision that has proven controversial due to the Seagulls securing survival and reaching the FA Cup semi-finals.
But after a 10-game winless streak to end the season, Brighton have decided to make a change.
With the modern Amex Stadium and a ample budget, Brighton appear set to push the boundaries to fulfil their potential as a club.
“Chris has done an excellent job over the past four and a half years,” chairman Tony Bloom said in a statement.
“First stabilising our club, reaching the play-offs in his first full season, securing our first ever promotion to the Premier League, and retaining our status in two successive seasons.
“Undoubtedly, this has been one of the most difficult decisions I have had to make as chairman of Brighton & Hove Albion, but ultimately one I have made due to how we struggled in the second half of the season.
“Our run of 3 wins from 23 Premier League matches put our status at significant risk. It is with that in mind, and the performances during that period, that I now feel it’s the right time for a change.
“Chris will always be very fondly remembered by Albion staff and fans as one of our club’s finest and most-respected managers.”
Graham Potter is the initial 1/4 favourite, according to Oddschecker, after impressing with a limited budget at Swansea.
While Phil Neville, just weeks away from leading England at the Women's World Cup, is second favourite ahead of Manchester City assistant Mikel Arteta.
