With manager jobs at some premiership clubs being precarious, it wouldn't be surprising if Bloom & co drew up a list of less known names as a back up plan just incase, but if those smaller names did then become front runners you would seriously need to question why none of the original targets...
There's stumbling block in the way for any club who could be looking to take him on. First of all Rangers were paying him 800k a year and his reluctance to take a pay cut whilst the players under him were indicates that he'll probably be out for a similar salary which might put a dampener on hos...
Why would any good player currently want to join Brighton? The team is in a relegation spot, seriously out of form and there is a very big question mark over the managers future - no player should find that an attractive proposition, especially when other clubs might also be showing interest in...

If the manager is going to change before next transfer window- it is better to do it sooner rather than later as it'll give the newcomer a chance to work with the squad and draw up a list of targets ... stumbling block is who would BHAFC realistically be able to get: Mowbray? Clark? Rosler...
Heskey scored one goal in 19 appearances for Newcastle Jets last season, if he can't find the back of the net in the Australian league then I seriously doubt he'll be able to in the Championship.
Was commonly done by Liverpool last season, results were mixed. Brighton do need to bring in a younger right back in one of the next two windows, only a matter of time before the legs of Bruno and Calderon go and if the tactics is for the full backs to push on, you need them to have pace.
