IS FABIAN HURZELER SAFE? THE TRUTH BEHIND BRIGHTON’S STANCE DESPITE A 1-WIN STREAK
With only one win in eleven games, the pressure is on Hurzeler, but club insiders say his job is safe. Full analysis here.
Brighton aren't looking to sack Fabian Hurzeler right now, even though a lot of fans are getting frustrated.
On Saturday, Hurzeler’s team drew 1-1 with Everton after Beto scored a late equaliser. That result means Brighton has only managed one win in their last 11 Premier League matches. They’ve slipped down to 13th place, and with Crystal Palace right behind them, the next game could see their rivals leapfrog them.
Still, former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that Hurzeler’s job isn’t under threat at the moment—the club’s still backing him to turn things around.
David Moyes has weighed in, too. He doesn’t get why people are talking about sacking Hurzeler, and he told Brighton fans to be careful what they wish for, saying the 32-year-old is doing an “unbelievable” job.
Brown had warned back in December that the club might have to act if the fans completely turned against Hurzeler, but that’s not where things are now. The plan is to stick with him, hoping they can find some consistency and climb back up in what’s a pretty packed Premier League table.
“David Moyes is spot on,” Brown said. “He knows what it’s like—when I worked with him at West Ham, sometimes the fans got carried away and started believing the team was better than it actually was. Brighton’s a solid, stable Premier League club, and that counts for a lot. Sure, some fans want European football, but that’s not everything. I’d be shocked if the club was even thinking about sacking Hurzeler right now. That just isn’t on their mind. Every team goes through tough spells. A couple of wins, and suddenly they’re climbing the table, and all this talk disappears. There’s no real problem at the moment.”
On another note, Lewis Dunk is still a key figure for Brighton—both on the pitch and behind the scenes. The club shut down any talk of him leaving during the January window, holding onto him even when Nottingham Forest came calling late on. Forest boss Sean Dyche wanted Dunk to shore up his defence, but Brighton weren’t having it. Dunk, who’s already played 22 times this season, signed a one-year extension back in December, keeping him at the club until 2027.
CONOR GALLAGHER CONFIRMED AS "VITAL" STARTER FOR SPURS FOLLOWING BENTANCUR’S INJURY LAYOFF
Conor Gallagher proved the doubters wrong against Man City. Discover why his €40m move to Tottenham is finally paying off for Spurs.

Chelsea and Atletico Madrid both decided Conor Gallagher wasn’t worth the trouble. At Chelsea, he had his moments—Pochettino liked him, but the fans never really warmed up. When Chelsea shipped him off to Atletico, it made sense. Enzo Fernandez stepped up, took over Gallagher’s role, and fit in perfectly next to Caicedo, with Cole Palmer adding that extra spark up front.
Things didn’t get much better for Gallagher in Spain. He barely got a chance at Atleti, lost his spot in the starting eleven, and pretty much ended up on the transfer list before anyone had time to blink. Interest was lukewarm at best until the winter window rolled around. Aston Villa wanted him and went after him pretty aggressively, but then Tottenham swooped in late. Spurs needed someone to patch up the midfield after Bentancur’s injury, so they just paid up—40 million euros, no hesitation.
His start at Tottenham? Rough. Honestly, that was to be expected. He’d played well at Palace before, but after his struggles at Atleti, he needed time to adjust. Sitting on the bench in Spain didn’t do him any favours.
Then Gallagher showed up. People doubted whether he could really add creativity and move the ball forward for Spurs, so his early struggles got people worried. But then came the 2-2 draw against Manchester City. He suddenly looked like the player both Ange Postecoglou and Thomas Frank were so desperate to sign.
Against City, Gallagher flipped the script. He set up a crucial assist, drove play forward on the dribble, and kept drawing fouls—everything the Spurs needed. Defensively, he was all over the place in a good way: two tackles, three interceptions, a full 90 minutes, and a huge part of the Spurs clawing their way back into the game.
Tottenham fans loved it. They saw the effort, the attitude, and the hunger to win. Gallagher just wouldn’t quit, and in that second half, he, Xavi Simons, Pape Matar Sarr, Destiny Udogie, and Dominic Solanke ran the show. Four of those guys have been carrying Spurs lately, so Gallagher is fitting right in with them. That’s a pretty good sign he’s going to work out just fine in North London.
