The 2008–09 season is Brighton & Hove Albion's 107th year in existence and third consecutive season in League One.[1] Along with competing in League One, the club also participated in the FA Cup and the Football League Cup.
This was manager Micky Adams' first season in his second spell at the club, having previously managed Brighton from 1999 to 2001. Adams was sacked on 21 February 2009, after a poor run of form left the side in the relegation zone.[2] Former Yeovil Town manager Russell Slade took over the reins on 6 March,[3] and guided the side to safety on the final day of the season, after the Seagulls had been eight points adrift with six games to play.[4]
