He'd be mad not to go. They'll double his wages overnight if not treble and he's only human with bills to pay and a Mrs who likes shoes.
If he fails, he will still get another job at a decent PL club on the pedigree he has already built and he'll still be on the radar of England - because everyone knows how mental Chelsea are - so unless he turns batshit mental, or they end up 12th, he'll be alright him.

How do you know his Mrs likes shoes? Or that he even has a Mrs?

Can’t see the ego’s at that place taking to him if I’m honest

Not messing about. Good long-term appointment if they understand the concept of ‘long term’

Neither can I.
You’d be mad not to take it like, a top 4 job for an up and coming English manager is pretty much an offer you can’t refuse.
If you’re ambitious to do those jobs, you’ve got to take it when your stock is high and the opportunity comes up. Say he stays at Brighton and leaves for say, Villa in a year, he might not have the same impact there so might never get another chance.
He seems like a really nice, emotionally intelligent guy who nurtures players and builds teams slowly and the right way - England Southgate with tactics, basically - and I can’t think of an environment that might be less suited to that than the ruthless goldfish bowl of Chelsea with a new owner who seems like he wants a lot of input. Arsenal seems a better fit, but who knows when that job comes up.
Good luck to him though. I still think he’s a little bit flavour of the month based on Brighton having a fantastic start this year but great to see him get a chance like this.

His mrs is well known and i suppose i just assumed she liked shoes because my mrs does. I'm sorry if that offended you. I'll try to be gender neutral going forward.

Think Sean Dyche or Scott Parker could take the Brighton job

Dyche and Brighton I don’t think so.

I hope so, he's doing a great job domestically at Celtic, I'd like that to end.

Yep same the football they play is fantastic. He would be a massive loss

I can see that. Be a good job for Big Ange, be great to see him in the Premier League.
To be honest the less managerial musical chairs there is, is the better for us. Last thing we need is some cash-rich PL chairman making eyes at Wilder if there’s suddenly a domino effect of hirings and firings.
